Cabinet Airflow Requirements
When you mount the SRX 210 services gateway in a cabinet, you
must ensure that ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to
prevent overheating. The requirements to consider when planning for
chassis cooling are as follows:
- Ensure that the cool air supply you provide through the
cabinet can adequately dissipate the thermal output of the device.
- Ensure that the cabinet allows the hot exhaust air from
the chassis to exit from the cabinet without recirculating into the
device. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot
air exhaust extraction from the top allows the best airflow through
the chassis. If the cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations
in these elements assist with removing the hot air exhaust. For an
illustration of chassis airflow, see Figure x on page x. TECH-PUBs: Need to provide proper cross-reference to graphic showing
airflow through the chassis
- Install the device as close as possible to the front of
the cabinet so that the cable management system clears the inside
of the front door. Installing the chassis close to the front of the
cabinet maximizes the clearance in the rear of the cabinet for critical
airflow.
- Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of
airflow to and from the chassis.
