Installing the SRX240 Services Gateway

You can front-mount or center-mount the SRX240 Services Gateway in a rack.

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 a mounting bracket on each side of the chassis. You can position the brackets in:
    • Front mount position as shown in Figure 1.
    • Center mount position as shown in Figure 2.

      Note: Positioning the brackets in the center offers greater stability.

  2. Use a number–2 Phillips screwdriver to install the screws that secure the mounting brackets to the chassis.
  3. Have one person grasp the sides of the device, lift it, and position it in the rack.
  4. Align the bottom hole in each mounting bracket with a hole in each rack rail, making sure the chassis 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 tighten the screws.
  6. Install the second screw in each mounting bracket.
  7. Verify that the mounting screws on one side of the rack are aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side and that the device is level.
