ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308
Choose a Location for the VPN Firewall
The VPN firewall is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be freestanding (on
its runner feet) or mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, you can
rack-mount the VPN firewall in a wiring closet or equipment room.
Consider the following when deciding where to position the VPN firewall:
• The u
nit is accessible, and cables can be connected easily.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. Th
ese include lift shafts, microwave
ovens, and air-conditioning units.
• W
ater or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Airflow
around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted.
Provide a minimum of 25 mm or 1-inch clearance.
• The a
ir is as free of dust as possible.
• T
emperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded. Install the unit in a clean,
air-conditioned environment. For information about the recommended operating
temperatures for the VPN firewall, see Appendix A, Default Settings and Technical
Specifications.
Use the Rack-Mounting Kit
Use the mounting kit for the VPN firewall to install the appliance in a rack. Attach the
mounting brackets using the hardware that is supplied with the mounting kit.
Figure 4.
Before mounting the VPN firewall in a rack, verify that:
• Y
ou have the correct screws (supplied with the installation kit).
• The ra
ck onto which you plan to mount the VPN firewall is suitably located.
