Install the QFX5230-64CD Switch in a Rack
Ensure that you have the following tools and parts available:
• An ESD grounding strap—not provided.
• A pair of side mounng brackets that aach to the chassis—provided with the rack mount kit.
• A pair of front and rear mounng rails that aach to the rack posts—provided with the rack mount
kit.
To mount the device on a four-post rack:
1. Place the switch on a at, stable surface.
2. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the
other end to a site ESD point.
3. To aach the side mounng brackets to the chassis, align the keyholes on the mounng brackets
over the shoulder screws on the chassis. Slide the mounng brackets toward the rear of the chassis.
