Connecting the SRX5800 to Power
Tools and Parts Required for SRX5800 Firewall Grounding and Power Connections
To ground and provide power to the firewall, you need the following tools and parts:
Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2
2.5-mm flat-blade (–) screwdriver
7/16-in. hexagonal-head external drive socket wrench, or nut driver, with a torque range between 23 lb-in. (2.6 Nm) and 25 lb-in. (2.8 Nm) tightening torque, for tightening nuts to terminal studs on each power supply on a DC-powered firewall.
Wire cutters
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding wrist strap
Grounding the SRX5800 Firewall
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, you must properly ground the firewall chassis before connecting power. You must install the SRX8500 device in a restricted-access location and ensure that the chassis is always properly grounded. The SRX5800 device has a two-hole protective grounding terminal provided on the chassis. See Figure 1. Under all circumstances, use this grounding connection to ground the chassis. For AC-powered systems, you must also use the grounding wire in the AC power cord along with the two-hole grounding lug connection. This tested system meets or exceeds all applicable EMC regulatory requirements with the two-hole protective grounding terminal.
You ground the firewall by connecting a grounding cable to earth ground and then attaching it to one of the chassis grounding points using two screws. You must provide the grounding cable (the cable lug is supplied with the firewall).
Connecting Power to an AC-Powered SRX5800 Firewall
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, you must properly ground the firewall chassis before connecting power. See Grounding the SRX5800 Firewall for instructions.
Do not mix AC and DC power supplies within the same firewall. Damage to the firewall might occur.
You connect AC power to the device by attaching power cords from the AC power sources to the AC appliance inlets located on the chassis above the power supplies. If the firewall is powered by high-capacity power supplies, you also connect AC feeds to AC appliance inlets located on the power supplies themselves. The power cords are not provided with the firewall; you must order them separately.
To connect the AC power cords to the firewall (see Figure 2 and Figure 3):


Connect Power to an SRX5800 Firewall with High-Capacity Second-Generation Power Supplies
A minimum of two AC nominal 220 VAC 20 amp power cords are required for this procedure.
Connect Power to an SRX5800 Firewall with High-Voltage Second-Generation Universal (HVAC/HVDC) Power Supplies
To install and power on an High-Voltage Second-Generation Universal (HVAC/HVDC) power supply, use the following procedure.
Connecting Power to a DC-Powered SRX5800 Firewall
Before you perform DC power procedures, ensure there is no power to the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is off, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the off position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the off position.
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, you must properly ground the firewall chassis before connecting power. See Grounding the SRX5800 Firewall for instructions.
Do not mix AC and DC power supplies within the same firewall. Damage to the firewall might occur.
You connect DC power to the firewall by attaching power cables from the external DC power sources to the terminal studs on the power supply faceplates. You must provide the power cables (the cable lugs are supplied with the firewall).
To connect the DC source power cables to the firewall:
