Mounting a QFX5110 in a Rack
You can mount a QFX5110 on a four-post 19-in. rack using the mounting kit provided with
the switch. This kit contains two front-mounting rails with two matching rear-mounting
blades. This configuration allows either end of the switch to be mounted flush with the
rack and still be adjustable for racks with different depths.
Space the front and rear rack rails between 28 in. (71.1 cm) and 36 in. (91.4 cm)
front-to-back.
