SRX550 Services Gateway Front Panel
Figure 1 shows the front panel of the SRX550 Services Gateway.

Table 1 provides information about the front panel components of the services gateway with reference to Figure 1.
Table 1: SRX550 Services Gateway Front Panel Components
Number | Component | Location | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Front panel LEDs | Left side of the front chassis panel | Indicate the current status of the services gateway. See SRX550 Services Gateway Front Panel LEDs for detailed information about the front panel LEDs. |
2 | Serial Console Port | Left side of the front chassis panel | Connects a laptop to the services gateway for CLI management. The port uses an RJ-45 serial connection, is configured as data terminal equipment (DTE), and supports the RS-232 (EIA-232) standard. |
3 | USB Console Port | Left side of the front chassis panel | Connects a laptop to the services gateway for CLI management through a USB interface. The port accepts a Mini-B type USB cable plug. A USB cable with Mini-B and Type A USB plugs is supplied with the services gateway. To use the USB console port, you must download a USB driver to the management station from the Juniper Networks website. |
4 | AUX Port | Left side of the front chassis panel | Note: The Auxiliary port is not supported on the SRX550 Services Gateway. |
5 | 2 Mini-PIM slots numbered 1 and 2 | Left side of the front chassis panel | Both slots support Mini-PIMs. |
6 | 6 GPIM slots numbered 3 through 8. For specific GPIM/XPIM slots, see Figure 2 | Front chassis panel |
Note: SRX550 Services Gateway does not support hot-swappable functionality for GPIMs and XPIMs |
7 | Mounting brackets | Sides of chassis | Rack-mounting brackets attached when the services gateway is mounted on a rack. The mounting brackets are used to attach the services gateway to a rack or cabinet. |
8 | Electrostatic discharge (ESD) outlet | Left side of the front chassis panel | While working on the services gateway, use the ESD outlet to plug in an ESD grounding strap to prevent your body from sending static charges to the services gateway, which will damage the device. |
9 | USB 0 and USB 1 ports | Left side of the front chassis panel | The services gateway has two USB ports, labeled USB 0 and USB 1, that accept a USB storage device. These USB ports accept USB flash drives with Type A plugs. When the USB drive is installed and configured, it automatically acts as the secondary boot device if the primary CompactFlash card fails on startup. Note: You must install Junos OS on the USB storage device to use it as the secondary boot device. The services gateway supports the following USB devices:
Depending on the capacity of the USB drive, you can also configure it to receive core files generated during a failure. |
10 | Power button | Left side of the front chassis panel | Use the Power button to shut down the services gateway. On a services gateway that has been previously shut down using the Power button, when the power button is pressed again the services gateway starts up. Warning: The Power button does not shut off power to the power supplies or the midplane. You must remove the power cables or power cords to completely shut down the services gateway. The DC OK LED light on the power supply unit (PSU) changes from green to amber indicating that the software has stopped running. After the software has stopped running, you can safely remove any GPIMs or Mini-PIMs from the services gateway. |
11 | RESET CONFIG Button | Left side of the front chassis panel | Returns the services gateway to the rescue configuration or the factory default configuration. For more information, see Resetting the SRX550 Services Gateway. |
12 | 6 fixed Gigabit Ethernet ports:
Provides link speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps. | Left side of the front chassis panel, lower edge | The Gigabit Ethernet ports have the following characteristics:
The Gigabit Ethernet ports can:
Note: LAN bypass is not supported on the services gateway. |
13 | 4 SFP Ethernet ports:
Provides link speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps. | Middle of the front chassis panel, lower edge | The SFP Ethernet ports have the following characteristics:
The SFP Ethernet ports can:
