Unpacking and Mounting the SRX345

Unpacking the SRX345 Firewall

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

  • Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2

  • Blank panels to cover any slots not occupied by a component

The SRX345 Firewall is shipped in a cardboard carton and secured with foam packing material. The carton also contains an accessory box and quick start instructions.

Note:

The services gateway is maximally protected inside the cardboard carton. Do not unpack it until you are ready to begin installation.

To unpack the SRX345 Firewall:

  1. Move the cardboard carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible, where you have enough room to remove the components from the chassis.
  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 SRX345 Services Gateway.
  7. Store the brackets and bolts inside the accessory box.
  8. Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the services gateway at a later time.

Verifying Parts Received with the SRX345 Firewall

Preparing the SRX345 Firewall for Rack-Mount Installation

You can mount an SRX345 Firewall on four-post (telco) racks, enclosed cabinets, and open-frame racks. Center-mount racks are not supported.

Before mounting the SRX345 Firewall in a rack:

Installing the SRX345 Firewall into a Rack

You can front-mount the SRX345 Firewall in a rack. Many types of racks are acceptable, including four-post (telco) racks, enclosed cabinets, and open-frame racks.

Note:

If you are installing multiple devices in one rack, install the lowest one first and proceed upward in the rack.

To install the services gateway in a rack:

  1. Position a mounting bracket on each side of the chassis.
  2. Use a number-2 Phillips (+) screwdriver to install the screws that secure the mounting brackets to the chassis. Use either the front mount position, as shown in Figure 1, or the center mount position, as shown in Figure 2.

    Figure 2: Installing the Rack Mount Brackets (Center Mount Position)Installing the Rack Mount Brackets (Center Mount Position)
  3. Have one person grasp the sides of the services gateway, lift it, and position it in the rack.
  4. Align the bottom hole in each mounting bracket with a hole in each rack rail, making sure the chassis is level.
  5. Have a second person install a mounting screw into each of the two aligned holes.
  6. Install the second screw in each mounting bracket as shown in Figure 3.

  7. Verify that the mounting screws on one side of the rack are aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side and that the services gateway is level.

Installing the SRX345 Firewall on a Wall

You can install the SRX345 firewall on a wall by using the separately orderable wall-mount kit.

Before you install the SRX345:

  • Review the SRX345 Site Guidelines and Requirements.

  • Review the General Safety Guidelines and Warnings.

  • Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

    • 2 wall-mounting brackets (provided in the wall-mount kit)

    • 12 wall-mounting bracket screws (provided in the wall-mount kit)

    • 6 mounting screws (8-32 x 1.25 in. or M4 x 30 mm) (not provided)

    • Hollow wall anchors rated to support up to 15.5 lb (7 kg) if you are not screwing the screws directly into wall studs (not provided)

    • Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2

To install the SRX345:
  1. Attach the wall-mounting brackets to the side of the chassis using the four mounting-bracket screws on each side.
    Figure 4: Attach Mounting Brackets to the Firewall Attach Mounting Brackets to the Firewall
  2. Install four mounting screws in the wall for the wall-mounting brackets.
    1. Drill a hole A and install a mounting screw.
    2. Drill a hole B at a distance of 5.98 in. (15.2 cm) from screw A on a level line to the right and install a mounting screw.
    3. Drill a hole C at a distance of 18.67 in. (47.43 cm) on a plumb line down from screw A and install a mounting screw.
    4. Drill a hole D at a distance of 18.67 in. (47.43 cm) on a plumb line down from screw B and install a mounting screw.
    Figure 5: Measurements for Installing Mounting Screws Measurements for Installing Mounting Screws
    Note:

    Tighten the screws only part way in, leaving about 1/4 in. (6 mm) distance between the head of the screw and the wall.
  3. Place the firewall against the wall such that the front panel of the firewall faces to the right side and the holes in the mounting brackets heads align with the mounting screw heads.
  4. Slide the firewall a bit to the left or right so that the mounting screws are pushed into the holes in the mounting brackets until the firewall rests firmly in place.

  5. Tighten all the mounting screws.
