Clearance Requirements for SRX5800 Services Gateway Airflow and Hardware Maintenance
When planning the installation site, you need to allow sufficient clearance around the rack (see Figure 1):
- 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. At least 24 in. (61 cm) is required both in front of and behind the services gateway. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) behind the services gateway.
