IN THIS GUIDE

System Overview

The QFX5220-128C offers 128 ports of 100-Gigabit Ethernet in a 4 U form factor. With 12.8 Tbps bandwidth, the
QFX5220-128C is optimally designed as data aggregation or top of rack switch in small to medium size data centers and
MSDC (Massively Scalable Data Center) deployments. The 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports can be configured either for
100-Gbps or 40-Gbps speeds. The 100-Gbps ports can also be channelized into 2 x 50 Gbps, 4 x 25 Gbps, or 4 x 10 Gbps.
There are two dedicated small form factor plus (SFP+) for 10-Gigabit Ethernet support.
An Intel Xeon D-1500 processor drives the QFX5220 control plane, which runs the Junos OS Evolved software. The Junos
OS Evolved software image is stored on two internal 50 GB solid-state drives (SSDs). The QFX5220-128C is available
with ports-to-FRUs airflow, (airflow out), and with AC or DC power supplies.

    Register product serial numbers on the Juniper Networks website and update the installation base data if there is any addition or change to the installation base or if the installation base is moved. Juniper Networks will not be held accountable for not meeting the hardware replacement service-level agreement for products that do not have registered serial numbers or accurate installation base data.
  • Page 3: Part 1: Mount The Switch Into A 4-Post Rack

    You can mount QFX5220 switches on a four-post 19-in. rack or cabinet using the rack mount kit provided with the switch. To mount the QFX5220-128C on a four post rack using the provided rack mount kit: 1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
  • Page 4 NOTE: There is a left mounting rail, stamped LEFT, and a right mounting rail, stamped RIGHT. The mounting rails are not interchangable. Figure 2: Attaching Mounting Rails to the QFX5220-128C Chassis Right mounting rail Left mounting rail 7. Use the Phillips number 2 screwdriver to attach the front of the mounting rail to the flange and chassis using three M4 x 8 mm flathead screws.

    Connect Power to the Switch The QFX5220-128C is shipped from the factory with four power supplies. Each power supply is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU) when the second power supply is installed and running. You can install a replacement power supply in either of the two slots next to the fan modules without powering off the switch or disrupting the switching function.

    Perform the Initial Configuration Connect the QFX5220-128C to your network for out-of-band management: 1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the management port (labeled Mgmt) on the QFX5220-128C. 2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the management device.
  • Page 9 NOTE: On the QFX5220-128C, the management port re0:mgmt-0 is the bottom RJ-45 port on the right side of the port panel and is labeled MGMT. 8. Create the mgmt_junos routing instance.
  • Page 10: Qfx5220-128C Safety Warning Summary

    The QFX5220-128C weighs approximately 76 lbs (34.5 kg.) We recommend using a mechanical lift for installations above 60 inches (152.4 cm). Manually installing the QFX5220-128C in a rack or cabinet at a height above 60 in. (152.4 cm) requires two people to lift the switch and a third person to install the mounting screws. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
