Removing a QFX3500 Device from a Rack or Cabinet
If you need to relocate an installed QFX3500 device, use the procedure described in this
topic. (The remainder of this topic uses “rack” to mean “rack or cabinet.” )
NOTE: When you remove multiple devices from a rack, remove the device in
the top of the rack first and proceed to remove the rest of the devices from
top to bottom.
Before removing a QFX3500 device from a rack:
•
Ensure that the rack is stable and secured to the building.
•
Ensure that there is enough space to place the removed QFX3500 device in its new
location and along the path to the new location.
•
Read “General Safety Guidelines and Warnings” on page 161.
•
Ensure that the QFX3500 device has been safely powered off (see “Powering Off a
QFX3500Device” on page 298) and that you have unplugged(disconnected) the power
cords.
•
Ensure that you have disconnected any cables or wires attached to the QFX3500
device ports.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of your rack
mounting screws, for mounting the QFX3500 device on the rack.

1. Use the screwdriver to remove the mounting screws that attach the chassis
front-mounting brackets to the rack or cabinet.
