SRX3600 Services Gateway Cabinet Airflow Requirements
When you mount the services gateway in a cabinet, you must ensure that ventilation through the cabinet
is sufficient to prevent overheating. Following is a list of requirements to consider when planning for
chassis cooling:
•
Ensure that the cool air supply you provide through the cabinet can adequately dissipate the thermal
output of the services gateway.
•
Allow at least 3 in. (7.6 cm) of vertical clearance between the top and bottom of the services gateway
and other devices in the cabinet.
•
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit from the cabinet without recirculating
into the services gateway. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction
from the top allows the best airflow through the chassis.
•
Ensure that the cabinet provides at least 13 cm (5 in) of clearance on each side of the chassis for cooling
airflow.
•
If the cabinet contains a top or doors, you must provide perforations in these elements to allow adequate
airflow through the cabinet to dissipate the heat generated by all of the devices in the cabinet.
•
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from the chassis.

Gateways Air Deflector Kits.
