About This Guide

This guide contains information that you need to install and configure the SRX5400 Firewall quickly. For complete installation instructions, see the SRX5400 Firewall hardware documentation at www.juniper.net/documentation/.

Warning:

This guide contains a summary of safety warnings in Safety Warnings. For a complete list of warnings for this device, including translations, see the SRX5400 Firewall hardware documentation at www.juniper.net/documentation/.

The SRX5400 Firewall is a high-performance, highly scalable, carrier-class security device with multi-processor architecture.

The SRX5400 Firewall is 5 rack units (U) tall. Five of these devices can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space.

The firewall provides four slots that you can populate with one Switch Control Board (SCB) and up to three additional cards of the following types:

Services Processing Cards (SPCs) provide the processing capacity to run integrated services such as firewall, IPsec, and IDP.
Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) and the Modular Interface Cards (MICs) that install in them provide Ethernet interfaces that connect the firewall to your data network.

Note:
The SRX5400 Firewall supports the SRX5K-SPC-4-15-320 SPC only. It does not support the SRX5K-SPC-2-10-40 SPC.

By installing different combinations of MPCs and SPCs, you can tailor both the number of ports and the maximum services processing capacity to suit your network. Table 1 describes the possible system configurations for the SRX5400 Firewall.

Table 1: Possible System Configurations
Component	Minimum	Maximum
SPC	1	2
MPC	1	2
SCB	1	1
Routing Engine	1	1

Note:

For SPCs and MPCs, there are three slots available allowing for the following SPC and MPC configuration scenarios: 1 SPC and 1 MPC, 2 SPCs and 1 MPC, or 1 SPC and 2 MPCs.

Note:

MPCs are the only interface cards supported by the SRX5400 Firewall. The SRX5400 Firewall does not support the IOCs or Flex IOCs supported on other firewalls in the SRX5000 line.

Four AC power supplies (PSUs) provide full power redundancy. Each AC power supply provides power to all components in the device. When two or more power supplies are present, they share power almost equally within a fully populated system. However, if using only two AC PSUs, you must insert them into the first and third PSU slots. In the DC configuration, two power supplies are required to supply power to a fully configured device.

For detailed information about the SPCs, MPCs, and other cards supported by the firewall, see the SRX5400, SRX5600, and SRX5800 Firewall Card Reference at www.juniper.net/documentation/.

The firewall is shipped in a cardboard box strapped securely to a wooden pallet. Plastic straps secure the top and bottom in place. The firewall chassis is bolted to this pallet. A printed copy of this document and a cardboard accessory box are also included in the shipping container.
