remove all components from the chassis and use a lift rated for at least 250 lb (114
kg). The weight of an empty QFX3008-I Interconnect device and midplane is
approximately 205 lb (93 kg).
WARNING: Because of the QFX3008-I Interconnect device size and weight,
we require the use of a mechanical lift to install the QFX3008-I Interconnect
device in a rack or cabinet or to move the device from one location to
another.
CAUTION: The handles on the QFX3008-I Interconnect device are designed
to help maneuver the chassis from the mechanical lift to the mounting
shelves in the rack. Do not attempt to lift the chassis using the handles.
Before lifting or moving the device, disconnect all external cables and wires.

for lifting and moving a QFX5100 switch:
CAUTION: If you are installing the QFX5100 switch above 60 in. (152.4 cm)
from the floor, either remove the power supplies, fan modules, and any
expansion modules before attempting to install the switch, or ask someone

As when lifting any heavy object, lift most of the weight with your legs rather than your
back. Keep your knees bent and your back relatively straight and avoid twisting your
body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure that your footing is solid.
