System Overview
The QFX5220-128C offers 128 ports of 100-Gigabit Ethernet in a 4 U form factor. With 12.8 Tbps bandwidth, the
QFX5220-128C is optimally designed as data aggregation or top of rack switch in small to medium size data centers and
MSDC (Massively Scalable Data Center) deployments. The 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports can be configured either for
100-Gbps or 40-Gbps speeds. The 100-Gbps ports can also be channelized into 2 x 50 Gbps, 4 x 25 Gbps, or 4 x 10 Gbps.
There are two dedicated small form factor plus (SFP+) for 10-Gigabit Ethernet support.
An Intel Xeon D-1500 processor drives the QFX5220 control plane, which runs the Junos OS Evolved software. The Junos
OS Evolved software image is stored on two internal 50 GB solid-state drives (SSDs). The QFX5220-128C is available
with ports-to-FRUs airflow, (airflow out), and with AC or DC power supplies.

Part 1: Mount the Switch into a 4-Post Rack
CAUTION: A QFX5220-128C requires two people for installation, one person to lift the device into
place and another person to attach the device to the rack. If you are installing the QFX5220 above 60
in. (152.4 cm) from the floor, you can remove the power supplies and fan modules to minimize the weight
before attempting to install the device or use a mechanical lift.
CAUTION: If you are mounting multiple devices on a rack, mount the device in the lowest position of
the rack first. Proceed to mount the rest of the devices from the bottom to the top of the rack to minimize
the risk of the rack toppling.
You can mount QFX5220 switches on a four-post 19-in. rack or cabinet using the rack mount kit provided with the switch.
To mount the QFX5220-128C on a four post rack using the provided rack mount kit:
1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
2. 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 device in such a manner that the AIR IN labels on components are next to the cold aisle and AIR
OUT labels on components are next to the hot aisle.
3. Align the holes in the flange with the holes closest to the port panel.
Figure 1: Attaching the Flange to the QFX5220-128C Chassis

7. Use the Phillips number 2 screwdriver to attach the front of the mounting rail to the flange and chassis using three
M4 x 8 mm flathead screws. These slightly longer screws are needed to attach the mounting bracket through the flange
to the chassis. Tighten the screws.
8. Use eight of the shorter, M4 x 6 mm, flathead screws to complete the attachment of the mounting rail to chassis.
Tighten the screws using the Phillips number 2 screwdriver.
9. Repeats steps 6through 8for the right mounting bracket on the opposite side of the switch.
10. Use a mechanical lift or 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.
11. Have a second person secure the front of the switch to the rack using eight mounting screws (and cage nuts and
washers if your rack requires them.) Tighten the screws. See Figure 3 for an example of connecting the mounting rails
and mounting blades to a QFX5220-128C.

2. Connect the remaining end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the switch is
mounted.
3. Dress the grounding cable and ensure that it does not touch or block access to other device components and that it
does not drape where people could trip over it.
Connect Power to the Switch
The QFX5220-128C is shipped from the factory with four power supplies. Each power supply is a hot-removable and
hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU) when the second power supply is installed and running. You can install a
replacement power supply in either of the two slots next to the fan modules without powering off the switch or disrupting
the switching function.
To connect AC power to a QFX5220-128C:
1. Attach the grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
2. Ensure that the power supplies are fully inserted in the chassis and the latches are secure.
3. Locate the power cords shipped with the switch; the cords have plugs appropriate for your geographical location.
For each power supply:
a. Ensure the loop on the power cord retainer is open and there is enough space to insert the power cord coupler into
the inlet. If the loop is closed, press the small tab on the retainer to loosen the loop.
b. Thread the power cord coupler through the power cord retainer loop.

c. Insert the power cord coupler firmly into the AC inlet on the power supply faceplate.
d. Slide the power cord retainer loop towards the power supply until it is snug against the base of the coupler.
e. Press the tab on the loop and draw out the loop to enclose the power cord. See Figure 6.
Figure 6: Attaching the Power Cord Retainer
g051161
WARNING: Ensure that the power cord does not block access to device components or drape where
people can trip on it.
4. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the OFF (O) position.
NOTE: The switch powers on as soon as power is provided to the power supply. There is no power switch on
the device.
5. Insert the power cord plug into an AC power source outlet.
6. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the ON (|) position.
7. Verify that the AC and DC LEDs on each power supply are lit green.
If the amber fault LED is lit, remove power from the power supply, and replace the power supply (see How to Remove
a Power Supply from a QFX5220). Do not remove the power supply until you have a replacement power supply ready:
the power supplies must be installed in the switch to ensure proper airflow.
CAUTION: Replace a failed power supply with a new power supply within three minutes of removal
to prevent chassis overheating.
