Install the SRX1600 in a Rack

Mount the SRX1600 on a rack by following the recommended procedures that are appropriate for your site.

You can mount the SRX1600 on a four-post rack or in a cabinet. Use the toolless rack mount kit shipped with the device.

Complete the following prerequisites before you mount the device:

Note:

Ensure that you support the rear of the chassis throughout the process of mounting the appliance on the rack.
CAUTION:

A qualified technician must verify that the rack or cabinet is strong enough to support the device's weight before mounting the device. Have the technician verify also that the rack or cabinet has adequate support at the installation site.
CAUTION:

If you are installing more than one device on a rack or in a cabinet, install the first device at the bottom of the rack.

Mount your Device by Using the JNP-4P-TL-1RU-RMK Rack Mount Kit on a Square Hole 4-Post Rack

Ensure that you have the following tools and parts available:

  • An ESD grounding strap—not provided.

  • A pair of side mounting brackets that attach to the chassis—provided with the rack mount kit.

  • A pair of front and rear mounting rails that attach to the rack posts—provided with the rack mount kit.

To mount the device on a four-post rack:

  1. Review the General Safety Guidelines and Warnings.
  2. Wrap and fasten one end of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) cable grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end to a site ESD point.
  3. To attach the side mounting brackets to the chassis, align the keyholes on the mounting brackets over the shoulder screws on the chassis. Slide the mounting brackets toward the rear of the chassis.

  5. Install the mounting rails on the rack:
    1. Align the guide blocks of the rear mounting rails with the rear-post holes. Pull the rear mounting rails toward the front of the rack to lock the rails in place. You will hear a distinct click sound when the latch locks into the corresponding rack holes.

    2. Align the guide blocks of the front mounting rails with the front-post holes. Push the front mounting rails toward the rear of the rack to lock the rails in place. You will hear a distinct click sound when the latch locks into the corresponding rack holes.

    3. Visually ensure that the front and rear latches are locked into place on the mounting rails. The mounting rails should be securely installed on the rack.
  6. Lift the device and position it in the rack, aligning the side mounting-brackets with the mounting rails. Slide the device into the channels of the rack mounting rails.

Mount your Device by Using the JNP-4P-TL-1RU-RMK Rack Mount Kit on a Threaded-Hole 4-Post Rack

Ensure that you have the following tools and parts available:

  • An ESD grounding strap—not provided.

  • A Number 2 Phillips (+) screwdriver—not provided.

  • Eight screws to attach the mounting rails to the rack posts—not provided.

  • A pair of side mounting brackets that attach to the chassis—provided with the rack mount kit.

  • A pair of mounting front and rear rails that attach to the rack posts—provided with the rack mount kit.

To mount the device on a four-post rack with threaded holes:

  1. Review the General Safety Guidelines and Warnings.
  2. Wrap and fasten one end of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) cable grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end to a site ESD point.
  3. To attach the side mounting brackets to the chassis, align the keyholes on the mounting brackets over the shoulder screws on the chassis. Slide the mounting brackets toward the rear of the chassis.

  5. Install the mounting rails on the rack:
    1. Insert the guide pin of the rear mounting rails into the rear-post holes. Pull the rear mounting rails toward the front of the rack to lock the rails in place. You will hear a distinct click sound when the latch locks into place.
      Figure 11: Install the Rear Mounting Rails Rack rail system installation showing rails mounted between front and rear rack posts with green arrows indicating attachment direction.
    2. Insert the guide pin of the front mounting rails into the front-post holes. Push the front mounting rails toward the rear of the rack to lock the rails in place. You will hear a distinct click sound when the latch locks into place. Secure the front mounting rails to the front rack post by using screws appropriate for your rack threaded size (not provided).
