Juniper QFX5240 - General Site Guidelines; QFX5240 Grounding Cable and Lug Specifications

General Site Guidelines
Ecient device operaon requires proper site planning and maintenance. It also requires proper layout
of the equipment, rack or cabinet, and wiring closet.
To plan and create an acceptable operang environment for your device and prevent environmentally
caused equipment failures:
• Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and conducve material, such as metal akes.
• Follow the prescribed airow guidelines to ensure that the cooling system funcons properly. Ensure
that exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the device.
• Follow the prescribed electrostac discharge (ESD) prevenon procedures to prevent damaging the
equipment. Stac discharge can cause components to fail completely or intermiently over me.
• Install the device in a secure area, so that only authorized personnel can access the device.
QFX5240 Grounding Cable and Lug Specicaons
For installaons that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, the switch must be
adequately grounded before power is connected to ensure proper operaon and to meet safety and
electromagnec interference (EMI) requirements.
To ensure proper operaon and to meet safety and EMI requirements, you must connect a QFX5240
switch to earth ground before you connect power to the device.
