Juniper SRX380 - Rack Requirements

For information on the airflow through the SRX380 Services Gateway chassis, see “SRX380 Cooling System”
on page 23.
Rack Requirements
The SRX380 Services Gateway is designed to be installed on four-post racks. Table 15 on page 34 provides
the rack requirements and specifications for the SRX380.
Table 15: Rack Requirements for the SRX380 Services Gateway
GuidelinesRack Requirement
Use a four-post rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1-U (1.75 in.
or 4.45 cm) increments and that meets the size and strength requirements to support the
weight of the device.
Rack type
The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1-U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments.
The device can be mounted in any four-post rack that provides holes spaced at that
distance.
Mounting bracket hole
spacing
•
Ensure that the rack complies with the standards for a 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets,
Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by
the Electronics Industry Association.
•
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the external
dimensions of the chassis. The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets extend the
width to 19 in. (48.26 cm).
•
For four-post installations, the front and rear rack rails must be spaced between 23.6
in. (60 cm) and 36 in. (91.4 cm) front to back.
•
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the device.
•
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks provides for proper clearance around
the device and rack.
Rack size and strength
•
Secure the rack to the building structure.
•
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
•
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets and to wall or floor brackets for maximum stability.
