Before removing or installing components of a functioning services gateway, attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap to an ESD point and place the other end of the strap around your bare wrist. Failure to use an ESD strap could result in damage to the device.
The services gateway must be connected to earth ground during normal operation. The protective earthing terminal on the side of the chassis is provided to connect the services gateway to ground. Additional grounding is provided to an AC-powered services gateway when you plug its power supply into a grounded AC power receptacle.

Indicate the current status of the services gateway. See SRX550 High Memory 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 |
Mini-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 plug is supplied with the services gateway. To use the USB console port, you must download a USB driver to the management device from the Downloads page. To download the driver for Windows OS, select 6.5 from the Version drop-down list. To download the driver for macOS, select 4.10 from the Version drop-down list. |

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 High Memory Services Gateway. |
11 |
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, the services gateway starts up when the power button is pressed again. 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. |
12 |
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. |
13 |
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. |
Figure 2 shows how the slots on the front panel of the SRX550 High Memory Services Gateway are numbered.
