General Site Guidelines for Installing the SRX220 Services Gateway
The following precautions help you plan an acceptable operating environment for your
SRX220 Services Gateway and avoid environmentally caused equipment failures:
•
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be
unrestricted. Allow sufficient clearance between the front and back of the chassis and
adjacent equipment. Ensure that there is adequate circulation in the installation location.
•
Follow the ESD procedures to avoid damaging the equipment. Static discharge can
cause components to fail completely or intermittently over time.
•
Ensure that the blank Mini-PIM panel is installed in the empty slot to prevent any
interruption or reduction in the flow of air across internal components.
NOTE: Install the device only in restricted areas, such as dedicated
equipment rooms and equipment closets, in accordance with Articles
110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
