Removing a Management Board from a QFX3500 Device
QFX3500 devices have a single field-replaceable unit (FRU) management board on the front panel.
CAUTION: You must power off the QFX3500 device before replacing the management
board. If the QFX3500 is operating as a Node device in a QFabric system, ensure that
traffic is diverted in an orderly shutdown by using the shutdown procedure in Adding
or Replacing a Node Device in a QFabric Node Group .
Before you remove a management board from a QFX3500 device, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge
Damage” on page 242).

1. Place the antistatic bag or the antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
2. Ensure that the QFX3500 device is powered off. See “Powering Off a QFX3500 Device” on page 414
or Adding or Replacing a Node Device in a QFabric Node Group in QFabric systems.
3. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
4. Slide the locking lever toward the handle until it stops.
