Environmental Requirements for the Junos Space JA1500 Appliance

The appliance must be installed in a rack or cabinet housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled environment.

Ensure that these environmental guidelines are followed:

  • The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and filters, reducing the efficiency of the appliance cooling system.
  • Maintain ambient airflow for normal appliance operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, the appliance might overheat.Table 1 provides the required environmental conditions for normal appliance operation.
