Mount the QFX10002
The QFX10002 can be mounted in a 19-inch four-post rack.
1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
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. The QFX10002-72Q weighs 68.6 lbs (31.1 kg), the
QFX10002-60C weighs 80.5 lbs (36.5 kgs), and the QFX10002-36Q weighs 54 lbs (24.5 kg). Installing the
switch in a rack requires either a mechanical lift or two people to lift the device and another person to secure
it to the rack.
2. Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance, and secure it to the
building structure.
3. Decide whether the field-replaceable unit (FRU) end of the switch or the port end is to be placed at the front of the
rack. Position the switch in such a manner that the AIR OUT labels on components are next to the hot aisle.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the six screws on each side of the chassis that hold the cover to the chassis.
5. Align the holes in the mounting rail with the holes on the side of the chassis.
6. Attach the mounting rail to the switch by using 11 mounting screws. Tighten the screws.
7. Repeat Step 5 and Step 6 on the opposite side of the switch.
8. Either use a mechanical lift or have two people grasp both sides of the switch, lift it, and position it in the rack so that
the front bracket is aligned with the rack holes.
