PowerConnect J-SRX210 Services Gateway Hardware Guide Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance of the J-SRX210 Services Gateway When planning the installation site for the J-SRX210 Services Gateway, you need to allow sufficient clearance around the rack or cabinet where you are planning to install the device. 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 be unrestricted. • For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be adequate space at the front and back of the device. Allow at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the device. • If you are mounting the device in a rack with other equipment, or if you are placing it on the desktop near other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the chassis. Table 22 on page 50 provides information on the clearance requirements for maintaining the optimum airflow and the distances for facilitating easy maintenance of the device.

Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance of the J-SRX210
Services Gateway
When planning the installation site for the J-SRX210 Services Gateway, you need to allow
sufficient clearance around the rack or cabinet where you are planning to install the
device.
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 be
unrestricted.
•
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be
adequate space at the front and back of the device. Allow at least 24 in. (61 cm) both
in front of and behind the device.
•
If you are mounting the device in a rack with other equipment, or if you are placing it
on the desktop near other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment
does not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
Table 22 on page 50 provides information on the clearance requirements for maintaining
the optimum airflow and the distances for facilitating easy maintenance of the device.
