Connect Power to the QFX5110-32Q | 3
To mount, connect power to, and perform the initial configuration of a Juniper Networks QFX5110-32Q, you need:
•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap (not provided)
•One pair of side-mounting rails (provided)
•One pair of rear-mounting blades (provided)
•Twelve screws to secure the mounting rails and mounting blades to the chassis (provided)
•Eight screws to secure the chassis and mounting 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)
Mount the QFX5110-32Q
The QFX5110-32Q can only be mounted in a four-post 19 inch rack configuration.
To mount the switch:
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 switch weighs approximately 24.6 lb (11.2 kg).
Installing the QFX5110-32Q in a rack or cabinet requires two persons to lift the switch and 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. Determine whether the end with field replaceable units (FRUs) or the ports are to be placed at the front of the rack.
4. Align the holes in the side-mounting rail with the holes on the side of the chassis.
5. Attach the side mounting rail to the device using six mounting screws.
6. Repeat Step 4 and Step 5 on the opposite side of the device.
7. Have one person 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.
8. Have the second person secure the front of the switch to the rack by using four mounting screws (and cage nuts and
washers if your rack requires them). Tighten the screws.

9. Continue to support the switch while sliding the rear mounting-blades into the channel of the side mounting-rails and
securing the blades to the rack. Use the four mounting screws (and cage nuts and washers if your rack requires them)
to attach each blade to the rack. Tighten the screws.
10. Ensure that the switch 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.
11. Attach a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach it to the chassis grounding points.
Connect Power to the QFX5110-32Q
The switch is supplied with two factory-installed power supplies.
Connecting QFX5110-32Q to AC power
To connect power to an AC-powered switch:
1. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the OFF (0) position.
2. Insert the coupler end of the power cord into the AC power cord inlet on the AC power supply faceplate.
3. Push the power cord retainer onto the power cord.
4. Insert the power cord plug into the power source outlet.
5. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the ON (|) position.
6. Verify that the AC and the DC LEDs are lit green and on steadily.

Safety Warnings Summary
This is a summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings, including translations, see the QFX5110 switch
documentation at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/product/en_US/qfx5110.
WARNING: Failure to observe these safety warnings can result in personal injury or death.
•Permit only trained and qualified personnel to install or replace switch components.
•Perform only the procedures described in this quick start and the QFX5110 switch documentation. Other services must
be performed only by authorized service personnel.
•Before installing the switch, read the planning instructions in the QFX5110 switch documentation to make sure that
the site meets power, environmental, and clearance requirements for the switch.
•Before connecting the switch to a power source, read the installation instructions in the QFX5110 switch documentation.

•The QFX5110-32Q switch weighs approximately 24.6 lb (11.2 kg). Manually installing the QFX5110-32Q switch in a
rack or cabinet at a height above 60 in. (152.4 cm) requires two persons to lift the switch and install mounting screws.
To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
•If the rack or cabinet has stabilizing devices, install them in the rack before mounting or servicing the switch in the rack
or cabinet.
•Before installing or after removing an electrical component, always place it component-side up on a flat antistatic mat
or in an antistatic bag.
•Do not work on the switch or connect or disconnect cables during electrical storms.
•Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry, including rings, necklaces, and watches.
Metal objects heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or become welded to the
terminals.
CAUTION: Do not place a copper transceiver in an access port directly above or below another copper
transceiver. Damage to the access ports will occur.
Power Cable Warning (Japanese)
The attached power cable is only for this product. Do not use this cable for another product.
