Installing the SRX100 Services Gateway in a Rack

You can front-mount two SRX100 Services Gateways in a rack. Many types of racks are acceptable, including four-post (telco) racks, enclosed cabinets, and open-frame racks. For more information about the type of rack or cabinet the SRX100 Services Gateway can be installed into, see SRX100 Services Gateway Rack Requirements.

Note: If you are installing multiple devices in one rack, install the lowest one first and proceed upward in the rack.

To install the device in a rack:

  1. Position the two devices in the rack-mount tray as shown in Figure 1.

  2. Use a number-1 Phillips screwdriver to install the screws that secure the device to the rack-mount tray.
  3. Have one person grasp the sides of the rack-mount tray, lift it, and position it in the rack.
  4. Align the bottom hole in each side of the rack-mount tray with a hole in each rack rail as shown in Figure 2, making sure the rack-mount tray is level.

  5. Have a second person install a mounting screw into each of the two aligned holes. Use a number-3 Phillips screwdriver to install the mounting screws.
  6. Install the second screw in each side of the rack-mount tray.
  7. Verify that the mounting screws on one side of the rack-mount tray are aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side and that the tray is level.

Note: The rack-mounting kit is not shipped with the device and must be ordered separately.
