Unpacking a QFX5100 Device
The QFX5100 switch chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware
components. A QFX5100 device is shipped in a cardboard carton, secured with foam
packing material. The carton also contains an accessory box and quick start instructions.
CAUTION: QFX5100 devices are maximally protected inside the shipping
carton. Do not unpack the switch until you are ready to begin installation.
To unpack a QFX5100 device:
1. Move the shipping carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible,
but where you have enough room to remove the system components.
2. Position the carton so that the arrows are pointing up.
3. Open the top flaps on the shipping carton.
4. Remove the accessory box and verify the contents against the inventory included in
the box. Table 57 on page 158 lists the inventory of components supplied with a
QFX5100 device.
5. Pull out the packing material holding the switch in place.
6. Verify the chassis components received:
•
Two power supplies
•
Fan modules
•
Five fan modules for QFX5100-24Q and QFX5100-48S devices
•
Three fan modules for QFX5100-96S devices
