Preparing the SRX1500 Firewall for Rack-Mount Installation

You can mount an SRX1500 Firewall on four-post (telco) racks, enclosed cabinets, and open-frame racks. Center-mount racks are not supported.

Before mounting the SRX1500 Firewall in a rack:

Installing the SRX1500 Firewall in a Rack

You can front-mount the SRX1500 Firewall in a rack. Many types of racks are acceptable, including four-post (telco) racks, enclosed cabinets, and open-frame racks.

Note:

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

To install the services gateway in a rack:

  1. Position a mounting bracket on each side of the chassis.
  2. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to install the screws that secure the mounting brackets to the chassis.
