  2. Position the cardboard carton with the arrows pointing up.
  3. Carefully open the top of the cardboard carton.
  4. Remove the foam covering the top of the services gateway.
  5. Remove the accessory box.
  6. Verify the parts received against the lists in Verifying Parts Received with the SRX300 Services Gateway.

Installing the SRX300 Firewall on a Desk

You can mount an SRX300 Firewall on a desk or any other level surface horizontally or vertically. The four rubber feet attached to the chassis provide stability. Before mounting an SRX300 Firewall on a desk or level surface:

Follow these guidelines when installing the SRX300 Firewall on a desk:

The horizontal position is the standard installation position. To install the device in a horizontal position:

  1. Make sure that the rubber feet are attached to the chassis.
  2. Place the device on a desk with the Juniper Networks logo, which is embossed on the top cover, facing up.

Installing the SRX300 Firewall on a Wall

You can mount an SRX300 Firewall on a wall. The four rubber feet attached to the chassis provide stability. Before mounting the SRX300 Firewall on a wall:

Note:

The wall-mounting kit is not shipped with the device and must be ordered separately.

To install the device on a wall:

  1. Place the device on a flat, level surface with the Juniper Networks logo, which is embossed on the top cover, facing up. Ensure that the rubber feet are attached to the bottom of the chassis.
  2. Position a mounting bracket on each side of the chassis as shown in Figure 1.

  3. Use a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to install the screws that secure the mounting brackets to the chassis.
  4. If you are using wall anchors to support the chassis, install two pairs of anchors on the wall with the mounting brackets attached.
  5. Have one person grasp the sides of the device, lift it, and position it on the wall. Figure 2 shows the four different orientations in which you can mount the services gateway on a wall.
