You can mount all QFX5100 switches on a four post 19-in. rack or cabinet using the
mounting kit provided with the device.
For four post rack or cabinet installations, the mounting 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.
The mounting kit for the QFX5100-96S has mounting rails, blades, and brackets for the
four-post configuration.
(The remainder of this topic uses "rack" to mean "rack or cabinet.") The front and rear
rack rails must be spaced between 28 in. (71.1 cm) and 36 in. (91.4 cm) front to back.
