About This Guide
This guide contains informaon that you need to install and congure the SRX5600 Firewall quickly. For
complete installaon instrucons, see the SRX5600 Firewall Hardware Documentaon at
www.juniper.net/documentaon/.
WARNING: This guide contains a summary of safety warnings in "Safety Warnings" on
page 27. For a complete list of warnings for this device, including translaons, see the
SRX5600 Firewall Hardware Documentaon at www.juniper.net/documentaon/.
The SRX5600 Firewall is a high-performance, highly scalable, carrier-class security device with
mulprocessor architecture. The rewall is eight rack units (RU) tall. Three rewalls can be stacked in a
single oor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of oor space. The rewall provides six
slots that can be populated with up to four Services Processing Cards (SPCs) and interface cards and two
Switch Control Boards (SCBs) in redundant fabric conguraons. The interface cards can be any of the
following types:
• I/O cards (IOCs) have xed ports on their front panels.
• Flex I/O cards (Flex IOCs) have two slots on their front panels for smaller cards called port modules
that add addional ports to the rewall.
• Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) have two slots on their front panels for smaller cards called
Modular Interface Cards (MICs) that add addional ports to the rewall.
The SRX5600 Firewall provides redundancy and resiliency. The hardware system is fully redundant,
including power supplies and SCBs.
By installing various combinaons of interface cards and SPCs, you can tailor both the number of ports
and the maximum services processing capacity to suit your network. Table 1 on page 1 describes the
minimum system conguraon for the SRX5600 Firewall.

3. Using the li, posion the rewall in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in front of the mounng
shelf.
4. Li the chassis approximately 0.75 in. above the surface of the mounng shelf, and posion it as
close as possible to the shelf.
5. Carefully slide the rewall onto the mounng shelf so that the boom of the chassis and the
mounng shelf overlap by approximately 2 in.
6. Slide the rewall onto the mounng shelf unl the mounng brackets contact the rack rails. The shelf
ensures that the holes in the mounng brackets and the front-mounng anges of the chassis align
with the holes in the rack rails.
7. Move the li away from the rack.
8. Install a mounng screw into each of the open mounng holes aligned with the rack, starng from
the boom.
9. Visually inspect the alignment of the rewall. If the rewall is installed properly in the rack, all the
mounng screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with the mounng screws on the
opposite side and the rewall should be level.
Install the Firewall Without a Mechanical Li
Liing the chassis and mounng it in a rack requires at least two people. The empty chassis weighs
approximately 65.5 lb (29.7 kg).
1. Ensure that the rack is in its permanent locaon and is secured to the building.
2. Posion the chassis in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in front of the mounng shelf. Use a
pallet jack if one is available.
3. With one person on each side, hold onto the boom of the chassis and carefully li it onto the small
mounng shelf. See Figure 7 on page 12.

NOTE: Make sure that all empty slots are covered with blank panels before you operate the
rewall.
Proceed to "Step 4: Connect the Grounding Cable" on page 13.
Step 4: Connect the Grounding Cable
WARNING: To meet safety and electromagnec interference (EMI) requirements and to
ensure proper operaon, you must properly ground the rewall chassis before
connecng power.
1. Aach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to an
approved site ESD grounding point. See the instrucons for your site.
2. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
3. Verify that a licensed electrician has aached the cable lug provided with the rewall to the
grounding cable. The cable must be 6-AWG (13.3 mm2), minimum 60°C wire.
4. Make sure that grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright nish before grounding
connecons are made.
5. Disconnect the ESD grounding strap from the site ESD grounding point, and connect it to one of the
ESD points on the chassis. For more informaon about ESD, see the SRX5600 Firewall Hardware
Documentaon at www.juniper.net/documentaon/.
6. Place the grounding cable lug over the grounding point. The grounding point is sized for UNC 1/4-20
screws and 1/4 in. split washers, which are provided in the accessory box.
7. Secure the grounding cable lug to the grounding point, rst with the washers, and then with the
screws as shown in Figure 8 on page 14.

To connect external devices and network cables:
Connect to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
1. Turn o the power to the management device.
2. Plug one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the appropriate ETHERNET port on the rewall
Roung Engine.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
Connect a Management Console
NOTE: We no longer include a DB-9 to RJ-45 cable or a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter with a CAT5E
copper cable as part of the device package. If you require a console cable, you can order it
separately with the part number JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9 (DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter with a CAT5E
copper cable).
1. Plug one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the CONSOLE or AUX port on the rewall Roung
Engine.
2. Plug the female DB-9 end into the device’s serial port.
Connect the Network Cables
1. Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the interface. For cable specicaons, see the
SRX5600 Firewall Hardware Documentaon at www.juniper.net/documentaon/.
2. If the cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the plug.
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a ber-opc transceiver or into the ends
of ber-opc cables. Fiber-opc transceivers and ber-opc cables connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
15

CAUTION: Do not leave a ber-opc transceiver uncovered except when you are
inserng or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents
accidental exposure to laser light.
3. Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the faceplate as shown in Figure 9 on
page 16.
Figure 9: Connect Network Cables
4. Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress
points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporng its own weight as it hangs to the oor. Place
excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in the cable management system. Placing
fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.
CAUTION: Avoid bending a ber-opc cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that
are dicult to diagnose.
CAUTION: Do not let ber-opc cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow
the fastened loops of a cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.
Proceed to "Step 6: Connect Power Cables" on page 17.
