5. Remove the switch from the shipping carton (see “Unpack a QFX5100 Device” on page 277).
6. Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to mount the switch in a rack:
•
ESD grounding strap (not provided).
•
Blades, rails, or brackets (provided).
•
For four-post installations:
•
One pair of rear mounting blades. These mounting blades support the rear of the chassis and
must be installed (provided).
•
One pair of front mounting rails. The mounting blades slide into the mounting rails to support
the switch (provided).
•
Screws to secure the mounting rails to the chassis (provided).
•
Twelve screws for 1 U chassis
•
Twenty-four screws for QFX5100-96S
•
Eight screws to secure the chassis and rear installation blades to the rack (not provided).
•
Appropriate screwdriver for the mounting screws (not provided).
•
Two power cords with plugs appropriate to your geographical location (provided).
•
RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter (provided).
•
Management host, such as a PC laptop, with a serial port (not provided).
Optional equipment: Grounding cable kit with bracket, lug, and three nuts with integrated washers.
WARNING: The 1 U versions of QFX5100 switches must be supported at all four
corners. Mounting the chassis using only the front brackets will damage the chassis
and can result in serious bodily injury.
CAUTION: All QFX5100 switches require two people for installation, one person to
lift the switch into place and another person to attach the switch to the rack. If you
are installing the QFX5100 switch above 60 in. (152.4 cm) from the floor, you can
remove the power supplies and fan modules to minimize the weight before attempting
to install the switch.
