Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance of the SRX3600
Services Gateway
When planning the installation site, you need to allow sufficient clearance around
the rack (see Figure 1):
■
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must
be unrestricted. Allow at least 6 in. (15 cm) of clearance between devices. Allow
2.8 in. (7 cm) between the side of the chassis and any non-heat-producing surface
such as a wall.
■
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must
be adequate space at the front and back of the services gateway. At least 24 in.
(61 cm) is required both in front of and behind the device. NEBS GR-63
recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76 cm) in front of the rack and
24 in. (61 cm) behind the rack.
