Choosing a Location for the SRX5308
The SRX5308 is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be free-standing (on its
runner feet) or mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, you can rack-mount
the SRX5308 in a wiring closet or equipment room. A rack-mounting kit, containing two
mounting brackets and four screws, is provided in the package.
Consider the following when deciding where to position the SRX5308:
• The unit is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. These include lift shafts, microwave ovens,
and air-conditioning units.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. Provide a
minimum of 25 mm or 1 inch clearance.
• The air is as free of dust as possible.
• Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded. Install the unit in a clean, air-
conditioned environment. For information about the recommended operating temperatures for
the SRX5308, see Appendix A, “Default Settings and Technical Specifications.”
Using the Rack-Mounting Kit
Use the mounting kit for the SRX5308 to install the appliance in a rack. Attach the mounting
brackets using the hardware that is supplied with the mounting kit.
Before mounting the SRX5308 in a rack, verify that:
• You have the correct screws (supplied with the installation kit).
• The rack onto which you will mount the SRX5308 is suitably located.
