Mount the QFX3100
These instructions describe mounting the device in a four-post 19-in. rack or cabinet.
1. Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance, and secure it to the
building structure.
NOTE:
If you are mounting multiple units in the rack, mount the heaviest unit at the bottom of the rack, and
mount the others from bottom to top in order of decreasing weight.
2. Measure the distance between the front and rear rack rails. Using this measurement, attach the adjustable rear mounting
brackets to both sides of the chassis using the provided screws. These mounting brackets support the rear of the
chassis and must be installed.

or cabinet requires one person to lift it and a second person to secure it to the rack.

the holes in the rack.
