Fast Track to Rack Installation and Power

SUMMARY This procedure guides you through the simplest steps to install your SRX380 Firewall in a rack and connect it to power. Have more complex installation needs? See Mounting the SRX380 Firewall in a Rack.

Install the SRX380 in a Rack

You can install the SRX380 Firewall in a four-post rack or cabinet. We’ll walk you through the steps to install an AC-powered firewall in a four-post rack.
  1. Wrap and fasten one end of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end to a site ESD point.
  2. Attach the mounting brackets to the side mounting rails using the six flat-head mounting screws.

  3. Attach the mounting rails to the sides of the SRX380 using the M4x6-mm Phillips flat-head mounting screws.
  4. Lift the SRX380 and position it in the rack. Line up the bottom hole in each mounting bracket with a hole in each rack rail, making sure the SRX380 is level.
  5. While you’re holding the SRX380 in place, have a second person insert and tighten the rack mount screws to secure the mounting brackets to the rack rails. Make sure they tighten the screws in the two bottom holes first and then tighten the screws in the two top holes.
  6. Continue holding the SRX380 in place and have the second person slide the mounting blades into the channel of the mounting rails.
  7. Screw the mounting blades to the rack using the rack mount screws.
  8. Check that the mounting brackets on each side of the rack are level.

Connect to Power

To connect the SRX380 Firewall to AC power, you must do the following:

Ground the SRX380 Firewall

To ground the SRX380 Firewall, do the following:

  1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the ESD strap to the ESD point on the rack.

  2. Attach a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach the other end to the SRX380’s grounding points.

Connect the Power Cord and Power On the Firewall

To connect the power cord, do the following:

  1. On the SRX380 rear panel, push the end of the retainer strip into the slot above the power cord socket until the strip snaps into place.

  2. Press the small tab on the retainer strip to loosen the loop.

  3. Slide the loop until you have enough space to insert the power cord into the power cord socket.

  4. Plug in the power cord firmly to the SRX380 power cord socket.

  5. Slide the loop on the retainer strip toward the power supply until it is snug against the base of the power cord coupler.

  6. Press the tab on the loop and draw out the loop into a tight circle.

  7. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, turn it off.

  8. Plug the power cord into an AC power source outlet.

  9. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, turn it on. The firewall doesn't have a power switch and powers on as soon as you plug it in.
