Ground the QFX5240 Switch
To ensure proper operaon and to meet safety and electromagnec interference (EMI) requirements,
you must connect QFX5240 switches to earth ground before you connect it to power.
You must install QFX5240 switches in a restricted-access locaon and ensure that the chassis is always
properly grounded. QFX5240 switches come with a two-hole protecve grounding terminal provided on
the chassis. See Figure 24 on page 80. Under all circumstances, use this grounding connecon to
ground the chassis. For AC-powered systems, you must also use the grounding wire in the AC power
cord along with the two-hole grounding lug connecon. This tested system meets or exceeds all
applicable EMC regulatory requirements with the two-hole protecve grounding terminal.
