Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance of the SRX650 Services Gateway
When planning the installation site for the SRX650 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.
- 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 1 .
- 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 1 provides information about the clearance requirements for maintaining optimum airflow and the distances to facilitate easy maintenance of the services gateway.
Table 1: Clearance Requirements for the SRX650 Services Gateway
Location | Recommended Clearance | Requirement for Clearance |
|---|---|---|
Front of the chassis | 8.7 in (22 cm) | Space for service personnel to remove and install hardware components |
Rear of the chassis | 17.4 in (44.2 cm) | Space for service personnel to remove and install hardware components |
Between front-mounting flange and rack or cabinet edge | 2.5 in (6.35 cm) | Space for cable management and organization |
Between both sides of the chassis and any non-heat-producing surface such as a wall or cabinet side | 6.0 in (15.24 cm) | Space for the cooling system to function properly and to maintain unrestricted airflow around the chassis |
