Installing the SRX4100 Services Gateway in a Rack

You can mount the services gateway on four posts in a 19-in. rack or cabinet by using the rack-mount kit shipped with the device. (The remainder of this topic uses rack to mean rack or cabinet.)

Before mounting the device on four posts in a rack:

  1. Verify that the site meets the requirements described in SRX4100 Site Preparation Checklist.

  2. Place the rack or cabinet in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance, and secure it to the building structure.

  3. Verify that the rack or cabinet meets the specific requirements described in SRX4100 Services Gateway Rack Requirements and Cabinet Requirements for SRX4100 Services Gateways.

  4. Remove the services gateway from the shipping carton (see Unpacking the SRX4100 Services Gateway).

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

  • Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2

  • Fourteen flat-head screws (provided with the rack mount kit)

Eight rack-mounting screws to secure the chassis to the rack (not provided with the rack mount kit)
