CAUTION: Remove the USB flash drive before upgrading Junos OS or
rebooting a QFX Series device. Failure to do so could expose your device to
unpredictable behavior.
NOTE: Executing the request system snapshot CLI command on a QFX3500
device requires an external USB flash drive with at least 4 GB of free space.
We recommend using the RE-USB-4G-S flash drive.
NOTE: USB flash drives used with the QFX Series device must support
USB 2.0 or later.

Console Port Connector Pinouts for the QFX Series
The console port (labeled CON, C1, or CONSOLE) is an RS-232 serial interface that uses
an RJ-45 connector to connect to a console management device. The default baud rate
for the console port is 9600 baud.
Table 31 on page 84 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 console connector. An
RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter are supplied with the QFX Series device.
NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin and you
want to connect your laptop or PC directly to a QFX Series device, use a
combination of the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter supplied with the
device and a USB to DB-9 male adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9
male adapter.
