Juniper QFX3600 Quick Start

QFX3600 Device Quick Start
See the complete QFX Series documentation at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/ .
To install and configure a Juniper Networks QFX3600 device, you need:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap (provided).
One pair of rear installation blades (part number 540-038598). These installation
blades support the rear of the chassis, and must be installed (provided).
One pair of mounting brackets (part number 540-038596) (provided).
Six M4 x 5-mm screws. These screws attach the mounting brackets to the chassis
(provided).
Phillips (+), number 1 screwdriver for the mounting bracket screws (not provided).
Eight screws to secure the chassis and installation blades to the rack (not provided).
Screwdriver appropriate for your rack mounting screws (not provided).
Two power cords with plugs appropriate for your geographical location (provided).
RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter (provided).
Management host, such as a PC laptop, with a serial port (not provided).
(Optional) Grounding cable attached to lug (provided) and two M5 screws (provided)
with integrated washers.
NOTE: These instructions describe installing the chassis in a four-post rack or cabinet
and connecting AC power to the device. For other installation options, see the
QFX3600 device documentation at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/ .
Part 1: Attach the Installation Blades to the Rack
NOTE: If you are mounting multiple units in the rack, mount the heaviest unit at the
bottom and mount the others from bottom to top in order of decreasing weight.
1. Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and
maintenance, and secure it to the building structure.
2. With four mounting screws—and cage nuts and washers if your rack requires
them—attach the installation blades to the rear of the rack at the point where you
want to mount the device. Tighten the screws. The blades help support the rear of the
chassis.
Part 2: Attach the Mounting Brackets to the Chassis
NOTE: The QFX3600 device can be ordered with FRU-side-to-port-side airflow or
port-side-to-FRU-side airflow. The mounting brackets can be attached to the chassis so
that the mounting ears are on the port (front) side or the FRU (rear) side.
1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point. Place the
device on a flat, stable surface.
2. Align the mounting brackets along the front or rear of the side panels of the device
chassis depending on how you want to mount the device. For example, if you want to
front-mount the device, align the brackets along the front of the side panel as shown
in the figure.
3. Align the holes in the mounting brackets with holes on the side panels of the device
chassis.
4. Insert the provided M4 x 5-mm screws into the aligned holes. Tighten the screws.
Part 3: Install the Chassis in the Rack
1. Grasp both sides of the device, lift it, and position it in the rack so that the mounting
bracket catches and slides onto the installation blade. If someone is assisting you,
have one person stand at the rear of the rack where the installation blades are
installed, to help guide the device onto the installation blades.
2. Align the holes in the front brackets on the chassis with the holes in the rack. Ensure
that the chassis is level.
3. With four mounting screws—and cage nuts and washers if your rack requires
them—secure the front of the device to the rack. Tighten the screws.
4. Ensure that the device chassis is level by verifying that all the screws on the front of
the rack are aligned with the screws at the back of the rack.
Part 4: Connect the Device to Earth Ground
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, as defined by local
electrical codes.
2. Place the grounding lug over the protective earthing terminal on the left rear of the
chassis, and secure the lug with the provided M5 screws.
Part 5: Connect Power to the Device
1. Insert the coupler end of the power cord into the AC power cord inlet on the AC
power supply faceplate.
2. Push the power cord retainer down onto the power cord.
3. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the OFF (O) position.
NOTE: The device powers on as soon as power is provided to the power supply. There is
no power switch on a QFX3600 device.
4. Insert the power cord plug into an AC power source outlet.
5. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the ON (|) position.
6. Repeat these steps for the second AC power supply, if one is installed.
Part 6: Next Steps
NOTE: The initial connection and configuration of your QFX3600 device as a Node
device with your QFabric system are beyond the scope of this quick start. For detailed
information about using the device as a Node device with your QFabric system, see the
deployment guide for your QFabric system at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.
