When planning the installation site for the Junos Pulse 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.
Table 22 on page 34 provides the clearance requirements for maintaining optimum
airflow.
