Before You Begin

The location of the device, the layout of the mounting equipment, and the security of your wiring room are crucial for proper system operation.

CAUTION: To prevent abuse and intrusion by unauthorized personnel, install the appliance in a secure environment.

Observing the following precautions can prevent shutdowns, equipment failures, and injuries:

■Before installation, always check that the power supply is disconnected from any power source.

■Ensure that the room in which you operate the device has adequate air circulation and that the room temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C).

■Do not place the device in an equipment-rack frame that blocks an intake or exhaust port. Ensure that enclosed racks have fans and louvered sides.

■Correct these hazardous conditions before any installation: moist or wet floors, leaks, ungrounded or frayed power cables, or missing safety grounds.

For a comprehensive presentation on the precautions you must take to prevent personal injury and damage to the equipment, see the Juniper Networks Security Products Safety Guide.
