Cabinet Requirement Guidelines
Cabinet airflow •When you mount the Pulse Secure Gateway in a cabinet, ensure that
ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent overheating.
•Ensure adequate cool air supply to dissipate the thermal output of the
Pulse Secure Gateway.
•Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit the
cabinet without recirculating into the Pulse Secure Gateway. An open
cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction
from the top allows the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet has
a top or doors, perforations in them can help remove the hot air exhaust.
•Install the Pulse Secure Gateway in the cabinet in a way that maximizes
the open space on the side of the chassis with the hot air exhaust. This
maximizes the clearance for critical airflow.
•Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from
the chassis.
•Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent cabinets allows for proper
clearance around the Pulse Secure Gateway and cabinet.
•A cabinet larger than the minimum required provides better airflow and
reduces the chance of overheating.
Clearance Requirements
When planning the installation site for the Pulse Secure Gateway, you need to allow sufficient clearance
around the rack or cabinet where you are planning to install the device.
When planning the installation site for the Pulse Secure Gateway, consider the following:
• For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted.
• For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be adequate space at the
front and back of the device. Allow at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the device.
• If you are mounting the device in a rack with other equipment, or if you are placing it on the desktop
near other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from the other equipment does not blow into the intake
vents of the chassis.
The following table provides the clearance requirements for maintaining optimum airflow.
