Installing the SRE on the SRX650 Services Gateway
The SRE installs at the back panel of the chassis in the horizontal slots labeled SRE0 or SRE1.0/1.1.
![]() | Caution: The SRE is not Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) capable. You must power off the services gateway before removing or inserting an SRE. |
To install the SRE:
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
- Power off the services gateway.
- If a blank panel is installed in the SRE slot, remove it.
- Carefully align the sides of the SRE with the guides inside the chassis. Also ensure that the locking levers on each side of the SRE are in the open position.
- Slide the SRE into the chassis until you feel resistance, carefully ensuring that it is correctly aligned (see Figure 1).
- With your thumbs, push the locking levers into
place to fully lock the SRE into the slot.

Warning: If the locking levers are not aligned properly with the edge of the SRE slot, the SRE will not be properly seated into the SRE backplane receptacle.
- Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on each side of the locking levers.
- Power on the services gateway and verify that the SRE LED indicators on the chassis and the SRE LED are green.
