QFX5100 Switch Hardware Guide

Four-Post Procedure

162
CAUTION: All QFX5100 switches require two people for installation, one
person to lift the switch into place and another person to attach the switch
to the rack. If you are installing the QFX5100 switch above 60 in. (152.4 cm)
from the floor, you can remove the power supplies and fan modules to
minimize the weight before attempting to install the switch.
CAUTION: If you are mounting multiple switches on a rack, mount the switch
in the lowest position of the rack first. Proceed to mount the rest of the
switches from the bottom to the top of the rack to minimize the risk of the
rack toppling.
To mount the switch on four posts in a rack using the provided mounting kit:
Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
