Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance of the J-SRX210Services GatewayWhen planning the installation site for the J-SRX210 Services Gateway, you need to allowsufficient clearance around the rack or cabinet where you are planning to install thedevice.When planning the installation site for the services gateway, consider the following:• For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must beunrestricted.• For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must beadequate space at the front and back of the device. Allow at least 24 in. (61 cm) bothin front of and behind the device.• If you are mounting the device in a rack with other equipment, or if you are placing iton the desktop near other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipmentdoes not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.Table 22 on page 50 provides information on the clearance requirements for maintainingthe optimum airflow and the distances for facilitating easy maintenance of the device.Table 22: Clearance Requirements for the Services GatewayRequirement for ClearanceRecommended ClearanceLocationSpace for service personnel to remove andinstall hardware componentsNOTE: More space is required for installing andremoving Mini-PIMs.2.5 in.
