Removing a QFX5100 Device from a Rack or Cabinet
If you need to relocate an installed QFX5100 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 QFX5100 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 QFX5100 device in its new location and along
the path to the new location.
•
Read “General Safety Guidelines and Warnings” on page 203.
•
Use the appropriate power off sequence for your configuration to safely powered off the device.
•
If the QFX5100 device is being used as a standalone switch, a member in a QFX Virtual Chassis, or
either a spine device or a leaf device in a Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF), see “Powering Off a QFX5100
Device” on page 409.
•
If the QFX5100 device is configured as either a Node device or as a Interconnect device in a QFabric
system, see Adding or Replacing a Node Device in a QFabric Node Group .
•
Disconnect the power cords.
•
Ensure that you have disconnected any cables or wires attached to the QFX5100 switch 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 QFX5100 device on the rack.
To remove a QFX5100 device from a rack or cabinet:
1. Have one person support the weight of the switch while another person uses the screwdriver to remove
the front mounting screws that attach the chassis mounting brackets to the rack or cabinet.
2. Remove the QFX5100 device from the rack or cabinet.
3. Use the screwdriver to remove the mounting screws that attach the mounting blades attached to the
rear of the rack or cabinet.
