Installing the Mounting Hardware for a QFX10000
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the mounting hardware:
• A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1, 2, or 3, depending on the size of your rack screws
• A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2, to install the screws that connect the rear and base brackets
• 12 Phillips flat-head screws (provided)
• 14 mounting screws appropriate for your rack to attach the mounting hardware to the rack (not
provided)
The switch can be installed in a four-post rack or in an open-frame rack. Install the mounting hardware
on the rack before installing the switch.
To mount the chassis on a four-post rack, you must first install the mounting hardware in the rack.
QFX10008 and QFX10016 switches come with a four-piece set of mounting brackets that support the
chassis in the rack. This rack mount kit, EX-MOD-RMK-4POST, can be ordered as a spare. However, if
you prefer a solid-shelf design for the rack, JNP-MOD-RMK-4PST is also available by separate order.
NOTE: Two-post installation racks are not supported.
The main pieces of the rack mount kit are:
• One left base bracket. The bracket is labeled LEFT FRONT on the side of the bracket that faces the
interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack.
• One right base bracket. The bracket is labeled RIGHT FRONT on the side of the bracket that faces
the interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack.
• Two rear brackets. These brackets are labeled REAR on the side of the bracket that faces the interior
of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack. The rear brackets are
interchangeable; you can use either of the rear brackets with the right or left base bracket.
When you install the base and rear brackets, the adjustable portion of the brackets overlap. Use the
overlap area to adjust the total bracket length to fit any of the four standard rack sizes: 19 in. (483 mm),
23.62 in. (600 mm), 30 in. (762 mm), or 31.5 in. (800 mm).
To install the mounting hardware in a four-post rack:
1. Remove the mounting brackets from the rack mount kit box.
2. Decide where to place the chassis in the rack. If the rack is empty, mount the switch in the lowest
possible location. See
