Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance of the
SRX550 Services Gateway
When planning the installation site for the SRX550 Services Gateway, you need to allow sufficient clearance
around the rack.
When planning the installation site for the services gateway, consider the following:
•
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted.
Figure 12 on page 45 shows the direction of airflow through the chassis.
Figure 12: Airflow Through the Chassis
•
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be adequate space at the
front and back of the services gateway as indicated in Table 13 on page 46 .
•
If you are mounting the services gateway in a rack with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from
other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
Table 13 on page 46 provides information about the clearance requirements for maintaining optimum
airflow and the distances to facilitate easy maintenance of the services gateway.
