applications
Your legacy applications continue to be supported by 100 Mbps or 1 Gigabit copper
SFP transceivers.

QFX5110 Models Overview

The QFX5110 line of switches offers two compact 1 U models that are ideal for top-of-rack, QFX Virtual
Chassis, or Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) deployments, the 48-port QFX5110-48S and the 32-port
QFX5110-32Q. Performance of the control plane running on all the QFX5110 switches is enhanced by
the 1.8-Ghz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB of memory and 64 GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage.
Both models offer flexible port configurations of 1-Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 40-Gigabit
Ethernet, and 100-Gigabit Ethernet.

Both models can be ordered with either ports-to-FRUs or FRUs-to-ports airflow and with AC or DC
power supplies.

The QFX5110-32Q can be used as:

• A standalone switch (Junos OS Release 17.2R1 and later).

• A primary, backup, or line card in a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis (Junos OS Release 17.3R1 and later).

A QFX5110 Series Virtual Chassis allows you to connect up to 10 QFX5110 or supported QFX5100
switches into one logical device and manage the device as a single chassis using a ring topology. The
following QFX5100 switches are supported in a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis:

• QFX5100-24Q

• QFX5100-48S

• QFX5100-96S
 14

For a QFX5100 switch to participate in a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis, the switch must have the same
software version and image installed as the software running on the QFX5110 switches in the Virtual
Chassis. You do not need to configure mixed mode. In a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis, we recommend to
use QFX5110 switches in the primary and backup Routing Engine roles, and QFX5100 switches only
in the linecard role.

• A spine or leaf device in a QFX5110 VCF (Junos OS Release 17.3R1 and later).

VCF uses QFX Virtual Chassis technology to interconnect multiple devices into a single logical device
and manage that device as a single logical device inside of a fabric architecture. You can configure up
to a total of 20 QFX5110 or QFX5100 devices in a VCF. Out of the 20 total devices, you can
configure a maximum of 4 spine devices. You can use these models in any combination as leaf
devices:

• QFX5100-24Q

System Software

QFX Series devices use the Junos operating system (OS), which is installed on a QFX5110 switch’s 64-
GB internal solid-state flash drive. The same Junos OS code base that runs on QFX5110 switches also
runs on all Juniper Networks EX Series switches, and M Series, MX Series, and T Series routers.

The QFX5110-48S switch is supported on Junos OS Release 15.1X53-D210 and later; the
QFX5110-32Q is supported on Junos OS 17.2R1 and later.
 17

QFX5110 switches employ the security feature, Secure Boot, which is based on the UEFI 2.4 standard.
The BIOS has been hardened and serves as a core root of trust. The BIOS updates, the bootloader, and
the kernel are cryptographically protected. No action is required to implement Secure Boot.

If a premium or advanced feature is configured on the QFX5110 without a valid license, an alarm is
raised and system log (syslog) messages are generated. For more information on licensing, see https://
www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/license/juniper-licensing-user-guide/topics/concept/
licenses-for-qfx.html.

Understanding Hardware Redundancy of QFX5110 Components and

Functionality

The following hardware components provide redundancy on a QFX5110:

• Power supplies—The QFX5110 can operate with one power supply. However, all QFX5110 switches,
except the QFX5110-32Q-CHAS, ship with two power supplies preinstalled for redundancy.. Each
power supply provides power to all components in the switch. If two power supplies are installed, the
two power supplies provide full power redundancy to the device. If one power supply fails or is
removed, the second power supply takes over the electrical load without interruption.

To provide power redundancy to the system, both power supplies must be installed. Connect power
source feed A to one power supply and power source feed B to the second power supply.

CAUTION: Do not connect feed A and feed B to the same power supply input terminal.

• Cooling system—All QFX5110 switches, except the QFX5110-32Q-CHAS, ship with five fan modules
installed. If a fan module fails and is unable to keep the QFX5110 within the desired temperature
thresholds, chassis alarms occur and the QFX5110 can shut down.

QFX5110 Field-Replaceable Units

Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are components that you can replace at your site. The QFX5110 FRUs are
hot-insertable and hot-removable: you can remove and replace one of them without powering off the
switch or disrupting the switching function.

CAUTION: Replace a failed power supply with a blank panel or new power supply within
one minute of removal to prevent chassis overheating. The switch continues to operate
with only one power supply running. Replace a failed fan module with a new fan module
within one minute of removal to prevent chassis overheating. Do not operate the switch
with missing FRUs for longer than one minute.

Table 4 on page 20 lists the FRUs for the QFX5110 and actions to take before removing them.

The port panel of the QFX5110-48S is primarily comprised of 48 small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP
+) and 4 quad small form-factor pluggable solution (QSFP28) ports. It also provides a central location for
the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) connections to a grandmaster clock.

This topic describes:

Switch Overview

The port panel of the QFX5110-48S supports 48 logical 10-GbE ports when operating as a standalone
switch. These data ports (0 through 47) support either 1-Gbps or 10-Gbps SFP+ transceivers. You can
also use SFP+ DAC cables and 10-Gbps active optical cables (AOC) in any access port. Starting in Junos
OS Release 18.3R1, the 10-GbE ports also support 100 Mbps.

The remaining 4 QSFP28 ports (48 through 51) support speeds of 40 GbE or 100 GbE. Each port can be
configured as an independent 100-GbE port or as an independent 40-GbE port. These port are usually
used as uplinks or Virtual Chassis Ports (VCP) on QFX5110 Virtual Chassis or Virtual Chassis Fabric
 22

(VCF). In 40-GbE mode, these ports can be channelized using QSFP+ to SFP+ DAC breakout (DACBO)
cables.

Figure 14 on page 22 shows the port panel of the QFX5110-48S.

Network Ports

CAUTION: When you use the latest OEM part number FCLF8521P2BTL (printed on the
transceiver label), you can install 1GbE transceivers (such as QFX-SFP-1GE-T) in any port
with no restrictions. The same applies for devices that support 10GbE copper
transceivers. However, if you are using the older OEM part number SP7041-M1-JN (not
shipped in last 3+ years) instead, do not install 1GbE copper transceivers (such as QFX-
SFP-1GE-T) directly above or below another 1GbE copper transceiver. Use only the top
row or bottom row to avoid damage to the device caused when the transceivers are
installed above or below each other.

The QFX5110-48S device ports (0 to 47) support:

• 10-Gbps SFP+ transceivers

• 1-Gbps SFP transceivers

• SFP+ direct attach copper (DAC) cables

• SFP+ active optical cables (AOC)

The QFX5110-48S uplink ports (48 to 51) support:

• 100-Gbps QSFP28 transceivers

 23

• 40-Gbps QSFP+ transceivers

• 100-Gbps AOC

• 40-Gbps AOC (Junos OS 18.3R1 and later)

• 100-Gbps QSFP28 DAC cables

• 40-Gbps QSFP+ DAC cables

• 40-Gbps QSFP+ to SFP+ DACBO cables (40-Gbps breaks out to 10-Gbps for copper connections)

• 40-Gbps AOCBO cables (40-Gbps breaks out to 10-Gbps for fiber connections)

Channelizing Interfaces

For downstream traffic, the QFX5110-48S has 4 physical or 16 logical ports that can be used for port
channelization. The default 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports can be configured as 40-Gigabit Ethernet, and in
this configuration can either operate as dedicated 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports or can be channelized to 4
independent 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports using copper or fiber breakout cables.

To channelize the ports, manually configure the port speed using the set chassis fpc slot-number port port-
number channel-speed speed command, where the speed can be set to 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 40-Gigabit
Ethernet, or 100-Gigabit Ethernet. The ports do not support auto-channelization.

Virtual Chassis and Virtual Chassis Fabric

To connect QFX5110 switches as members in a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis, you need a pair of dedicated
ports on each switch and cables that link each member in the Virtual Chassis into a ring topology. Each
member in the ring has at least one direct Virtual Chassis port (VCP) connection to a upstream and
downstream member. QFX5110 switches are recommended in the primary, backup, or line card role.
You may only mix QFX5100 members with QFX5110 members in a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis; no other
QFX Series or EX Series switches are supported. See "Connecting QFX5110 and QFX5100 Members in
a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis" on page 133 for a a diagram of cabling QFX5110 switches in a ring
topology.

To connect a QFX5110 switch as a spine or leaf device in a Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF), you need a pair
of dedicated ports and cables that link each spine device and leaf device in the VCF. All spine devices
have at least one direct VCP connection to each leaf device in the VCF. See "Connecting QFX5110 in a
QFX5110 Virtual Chassis Fabric" on page 134 for a cabling diagram.

Network Ports | 25

Channelizing Interfaces | 25

Virtual Chassis and Virtual Chassis Fabric | 27

The port panel of the QFX5110-32Q primarily comprises 28 quad small form-factor pluggable plus
(QSFP+) ports and 4 quad small form-factor pluggable solution (QSFP28) ports. The mixture of QSFP+
and QSFP28 ports allows for flexible configuration as either all 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports or a mixture of
40-Gigabit Ethernet and 100-Gigabit Ethernet for high-speed uplinks. The port panel also provides a
central location for the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) connections to a grandmaster clock.

This topic describes:

Switch Overview

The ports on the QFX5110-32Q support 40-Gbps or 100-Gbps speeds natively. All ports autosense the
type of transceiver and set the port to the corresponding speed. The QSFP+ ports can support
channelization to four independent 10 GbE downstream ports, see "Channelizing Interfaces" on page
25. Although all network ports can be configured as either uplink or as access ports, best practice is to
configure the four QSFP28 ports (28 through 31) as uplinks to take advantage of the 100-Gbps speeds.

The port panel also provides PTP connections to a grandmaster clock (requires Junos OS Release
18.1R1). There are also 10-MHz pulses-per-second (PPS) SubMiniature B (SMB) input and output
connections to measure the timing drift to and from the grandmaster clock.

Figure 15 on page 25 shows the port panel of the QFX5110-32Q.

Network Ports

The QFX5110-32Q device ports (0 through 27) support:

• 40-Gbps QSFP+ transceivers

• QSFP+ direct attach copper (DAC) cables

• QSFP+ active optical cables (AOC) (Junos OS Release 18.3R1 and later)

• 40-Gbps QSFP+ to SFP+ DACBO cables (40 Gbps breaks out to 10 Gbps for copper connections on
supported ports)

• 40-Gbps AOCBO cables (40 Gbps breaks out to 10 Gbps for fiber connections on supported ports)

The QFX5110-32Q uplink ports (28 through 31) support:

• 100-Gbps QSFP28 transceivers

• 40-Gbps QSFP+ transceivers

• 100-Gbps AOC

• 40-Gbps AOC (Junos OS Release 18.3R1 or later)

• 100-Gbps QSFP28 DAC cables

• 40-Gbps QSFP+ DAC cables

Channelizing Interfaces

CAUTION: Starting with Junos OS Release 18.1R1, default behaviors changed for:
 26

• System mode—Flexi-pic mode is replaced by non-oversubscribed mode.

• Auto-sense—The ports auto-sense the transceiver and set the port speed to match.

The Packet Forwarding Engine on the switch is restarted when you issue system mode
changes. As a result, you might experience packet loss on the switch.

The following system modes are available on the QFX5110-32Q:

• Default mode (from Junos OS Release 17.2R1 up to Junos OS Release 18.1R1)

All 32 QSFP+ and QSFP28 ports on the switch are configured for 40-Gigabit Ethernet only. All ports
are supported as access or uplink ports, but cannot be channelized.

• Default mode (Junos OS 18.1R1 and later)

If you connect 40-Gbps optics to all 32 ports, only ports 1 through 18 are available to channelize to 4
independent 10-Gbps speed downstream ports. You can use the remaining ports as dedicated 40
Gbps ports. No ports are disabled.

Depending on the optics installed, you can channelize between 18 to 20 ports.

• If the system detects a 100-Gbps optic in any one of the QSFP28 ports (28 to 31), the port forms
a port group and disables ports 20 to 27. The 40 Gbps QSFP+ ports 0 to 19 can be channelized to
4 independent 10 Gbps speed downstream ports.

• If the system detects 40 Gbps optics in the QSFP28 ports (28 to 31), you can channelize the 40
Gbps QSFP+ ports 1 to 18 to 4 independent 10 Gbps speed downstream ports. You can use the
remaining ports as dedicated 40 Gbps ports. No ports are disabled.

CAUTION: Ports 20 through 27 are not be available for channelization if you have
populated the 100 Gbps QSFP28 ports with 100 Gbps optics.

• Flexi-pic mode (from Junos OS Release 17.2R1 up to Junos OS Release 18.1R1):

• Ports 0 through 19 of the switch are configured for 40-Gigabit Ethernet and can be channelized
to 4 independent 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.

• Ports 20 though 27 are disabled.

• Ports 28 through 31 are configured as 100-Gigabit Ethernet.

 27

CAUTION: Take care when changing the channelization mode from Flexi-pic to default.
If you have existing ports that are channelized in Flexi-pic mode, remove the
channelization from the interface before changing the system mode. Changing the
Flexi-pic mode to the default mode with channelized ports causes the ports to go down,
log a system log error, and remain down. You must manually remove the channelization
configuration on the ports to bring the ports up in default mode. Because there can be
a slight loss of data while the FPC reboots, we recommend that you only configure the
changes during a maintenance window for this release.

NOTE: QFX5110-32Q switches that are configured for Flexi-pic mode and upgraded to
Junos OS Release 18.1R1 and later come up in default mode.

• Non-oversubscribed mode (Junos OS Release 18.1R1 and later)

Ports 0 through 23 only can be channelized. The remaining ports are disabled. Use this mode to
achieve 960 Gbps speeds for either 24 ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet or 96 ports of 10 Gigabit
Ethernet.

Use the request chassis system-mode command to change the system mode for the switch. If you attempt to
channelize a non-supported port, the configuration is ignored.

Virtual Chassis and Virtual Chassis Fabric

To connect QFX5110 switches as members in a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis, you need a pair of dedicated
ports on each switch and cables that link each member in the Virtual Chassis into a ring topology. Each
member in the ring has at least one direct Virtual Chassis port (VCP) connection to a upstream and
downstream member. QFX5110 switches are recommended in the master, backup, or line card role. You
may only mix QFX5100 members with QFX5110 members in a QFX5110 Virtual Chassis; no other QFX
Series or EX Series switches are supported. See "Connecting QFX5110 and QFX5100 Members in a
QFX5110 Virtual Chassis" on page 133 for a a diagram of cabling QFX5110 switches in a ring topology.

To connect a QFX5110 switch as a spine or leaf device in a Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF), you need a pair
of dedicated ports and cables that link each spine device and leaf device in the VCF. All spine devices
have at least one direct VCP connection to each leaf device in the VCF. See "Connecting QFX5110 in a
QFX5110 Virtual Chassis Fabric" on page 134 for a cabling diagram.

The cooling system in an QFX5110 device consists of five fan modules and a single fan in each power
supply. The switch can be set up to work in one of two airflow directions:

• Airflow In–Air comes into the switch through the vents in the field-replaceable units (FRUs)

• Airflow Out–Air comes into the switch through the vents in the port panel.

All QFX5110 switches, except the QFX5110-32Q-CHAS, are shipped with five fan modules and two
power supplies. Order fans for the QFX5110-32Q-CHAS separately.

CAUTION: Airflow In and Airflow Out fans and power supplies cannot be mixed in the
same chassis.

This topic describes:

Fan Modules

The fan modules in QFX5110 devices are hot-insertable and hot-removable FRUs. These fan modules
are designed for one of the two available airflow directions (Airflow In or Airflow Out). The fan modules
are also color-coded for the airflow direction. The fan modules are installed in the fan module slots
between the management panel and the power supplies.

The QFX5110 fan modules have five fan modules numbered 0 through 4 counting from left to right.
Each fan module slot has a fan icon next to it.

Figure 20 on page 39 shows the fan module.

You remove and replace a fan module from the FRU end of the chassis. The switch continues to operate
for a limited period of time (30 seconds) during the replacement of the fan module without thermal
shutdown.

NOTE: All fan modules must be installed for optimal operation of the switch.

The fan modules are available in two product SKUs that have different airflow directions, airflow in and
airflow out. Airflow in is indicated on the module by the azure blue color and a label marked AIR IN.
Airflow in this version of the fan module bring air into the fans and power supplies and exhaust air
through the ports. Likewise, airflow out is indicated by a gold color and a label marked AIR OUT. Airflow
out versions of the fan module brings air into the switch through the vents around the ports and exhaust
air through the fans and power supplies. Table 11 on page 39 lists the available fan module product
SKUs and the direction of airflow in them.

Do Not Install Components with Different Airflow or Wattage in the Switch

Do not mix power supplies with different airflow. If the power supplies are color-coded, ensure they are
either all azure blue for airflow in models or all gold for airflow out models. If the power supplies are not
color-coded but have a label, ensure that the chassis is either using all airflow in (AFI ) or all airflow out
(AFO). Likewise, ensure that all fan modules have the same airflow and match the airflow of the power
supplies. Fan modules are also either color-coded azure blue for airflow in or gold for airflow out. If the
fan module has a label instead of being color-coded, ensure that labels (AIR IN and AIR OUT) are not
mixed. If the fan modules have AIR IN labels, the power supplies must also have AIR IN labels; if the fan
modules have AIR OUT labels, the power supplies must also have AIR OUT labels.

Mixing components with different airflows in the same chassis hampers the performance of the cooling
system of the switch and leads to overheating of the chassis.

CAUTION: The system raises an alarm if a fan module fails or if the ambient temperature
inside the chassis rises above the acceptable range. If the temperature inside the chassis
rises above the threshold temperature, the system shuts down automatically.

Do not mix fan modules with different wattage. Only use the replacement fan modules that are designed
for use with your product number. See Table 11 on page 39 for the correct part number for your
QFX5110.

CAUTION: Do not mix AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis.

However, if you need to convert a QFX5110 to have a different airflow, you can change the airflow
pattern. To convert an AIR IN product SKU to an AIR OUT product SKU or an AIR OUT product SKU to
a AIR IN product SKU, you must replace all of the fans and power supplies at one time to use the new
direction. The system raises an alarm when the system is converted, which is normal.

replace it.

Under normal operating conditions, the fan modules operate at a moderate speed. Temperature sensors
in the chassis monitor the temperature within the chassis.

The system raises an alarm if a fan module fails or if the ambient temperature inside the chassis rises
above the acceptable range. If the temperature inside the chassis rises above the threshold temperature,
the system shuts down automatically.

QFX5110 AC Power Supply Description

Except for the QFX5110-32Q-CHAS, the QFX5110 switches are shipped from the factory with two
650 W power supplies pre-installed. See Figure 26 on page 46 for an example of a QFX5110 AC
power supply. The power supplies are fully redundant, load-sharing, and hot-removable and hot-
insertable FRUs when the second power supply is installed and running. You can install replacement
power supplies in the two slots next to the fan modules without powering off the switch or disrupting
the switching function.

The AC power supply in QFX5110 switches is available in different airflow configurations. Be sure to
use the correct power supply for your chassis product SKU (see Table 13 on page 47).

CAUTION: Do not mix power supplies with different airflow. The system raises an alarm
when a power supply having a different airflow or wattage is inserted into the chassis.
 46

Figure 26: AC Power Supply in QFX5110 Switches

1— Handle 3— AC appliance inlet

2— Power cord retainer 4— Security latch

The power supply provides FRU-to-port or port-to-FRU airflow depending on the product SKU you
purchase. On legacy switches, or switches with an LCD, this airflow is called back-to-front and front-to-
back. The power supplies either have labels on the handles that indicate the direction of airflow or they
have color-coded handles with a fan icon. See Figure 27 on page 46 for an example of the power
supply. Either a power supply has the label AFI or a blue handle, which denotes FRU-to-port airflow. A
power supply with the label AFO or a gold-colored handle denotes port-to-FRU airflow.

Figure 27: Power Supply Handle Detail

1— Fan icon on handle

 47

CAUTION: Verify that the airflow direction on the power supply handle matches the
direction of airflow in the chassis. Ensure that each power supply you install in the
chassis has the same airflow direction. If you install power supplies with two different
airflow directions, Junos OS raises an alarm. If you need to convert the airflow pattern
on a chassis, you must change out all the fans and power supplies at one time to use the
new direction.

The switch must be installed in a rack or cabinet. It must be housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and
temperature-controlled environment.

Follow these environmental guidelines:

• The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and filters, reducing
the efficiency of the switch cooling system.

• Maintain ambient airflow for normal switch operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
intake air is too warm, the switch might overheat, leading to the switch temperature monitor shutting
down the device to protect the hardware components.

QFX5110 Chassis Grounding Cable and Lug Specifications

To ground a QFX5110, connect a grounding cable to earth ground and attach it to the chassis grounding
points. See "Connect the QFX5110 to Earth Ground" on page 121. However if you are unable to access
the chassis grounding point on a DC system by using the two-holed grounding lug, you can ground the
chassis using the DC protective earthing terminal on the DC power supply, see "Alternate Method to
Ground QFX5110-48S-DC and QFX5110-32Q-DC Systems" on page 123.

WARNING: To comply with GR-1089 requirements, all intra-building copper cabling

used for SFP+ and QSFP+ ports must be shielded and grounded at both ends.

CAUTION: Before switch installation begins, a licensed electrician must attach a cable
lug to the grounding cables that you supply. See "Connect the QFX5110 to Earth
Ground" on page 121. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch.

Before connecting the switch to earth ground, review the following information:
 64

• The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD10-10A-L or equivalent (not provided). The
recommended grounding lug accommodates 14–10 AWG (2–5.3 mm²) stranded wire. If you are using
the alternate method of grounding the chassis on a QFX5110-48S or QFX5110-32Q DC system, the
recommended grounding cable is 12 AWG (2.5 mm²) standard wire, 90° C wire or heavier.

• The grounding cable must be 14 AWG (2 mm²), minimum 60° C wire, or as permitted by the local
code (not provided).

QFX5110 Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware

Maintenance

When planning the site for installing a QFX5110, you must allow sufficient clearance around the
installed chassis (see Figure 32 on page 64).

Figure 32: Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance for a QFX5110

• For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted. See
"QFX5110 Cooling System and Airflow Description" on page 38 for more information about the
airflow through the chassis.
 65

• If you are mounting a QFX5110 in a rack with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other
equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.

• Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the QFX5110. For service personnel to
remove and install hardware components, you must leave adequate space at the front and back of
the switch. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack or
cabinet and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the rack or cabinet.

QFX5110 Rack Requirements

QFX5110 switches are designed to be installed on four-post racks.

Rack requirements consist of:

• Rack type

• Mounting bracket hole spacing

• Rack size and strength

Table 24 on page 66 provides the rack requirements and specifications for the QFX5110.

Table 24: Rack Requirements for the QFX5110

Rack Requirement Guidelines

Rack type Use a four-post rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at
1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments and that meets the size and strength
requirements to support the weight.

A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and

Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the
Electronics Industry Association.

Mounting bracket hole spacing The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm),
so that the switch can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced
at that distance.
 67

Table 24: Rack Requirements for the QFX5110 (Continued)

Rack Requirement Guidelines

Rack size and strength • Ensure that the rack complies with the standards for a 19-in. or 23-in.
rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment
(document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry
Association.

• A 600-mm rack as defined in the four-part Equipment Engineering

(EE); European telecommunications standard for equipment practice
(document numbers ETS 300 119-1 through 119-4) published by the
European Telecommunications Standards Institute.

The horizontal spacing between the rails in a rack that complies with
this standard is usually wider than the device's mounting brackets,
which measure 19 in. (48.26 cm) from outer edge to outer edge. Use
approved wing devices to narrow the opening between the rails as
required.

• Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate
the switch chassis’ external dimensions. The outer edges of the front-
mounting brackets extend the width to 19 in. (48.26 cm).

• For four-post installations, the front and rear rack rails must be spaced
between 23.5 in. (59.7 cm) to 30.6 in. (77.7 cm) front-to-back.

• The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the switch.

• Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for proper
clearance around the switch and rack.

Rack connection to building • Secure the rack to the building structure.

structure
• If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the
rack to the floor.

• Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets
for maximum stability.

You can deploy QFX Series switches as members in three types of Virtual Chassis:

• QFX Virtual Chassis (QFX3500, QFX3600, QFX5100, and EX4300)

• QFX5110 Virtual Chassis (QFX5110 and QFX5100)

• QFX5200 Virtual Chassis (QFX5200-32C only)

 69

QFX Virtual Chassis and QFX5110 Virtual Chassis allow you to interconnect a mixture of up to ten
switches into one logical device and manage the device as a single chassis. QFX5200 Virtual Chassis is
limited to three QFX5200-32C members.

A Virtual Chassis configuration has two Routing Engines—the primary switch and the backup switch. All
other participating switches operate as line cards. You create a Virtual Chassis by cabling the switches in
a ring topology and configuring SFP+, QSFP+, or QSFP28 interfaces into Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs).
VCPs are responsible for passing all data and control traffic between member switches in the Virtual
Chassis. All non-channelized QSFP28 or QSFP+ uplink interfaces on the switches can be configured into
VCPs. All fixed SFP+ interfaces can also be configured into VCPs.

All members of the Virtual Chassis are required to run the same Junos OS Release. You can check the
version and release by issuing the show chassis version CLI command.

Virtual Chassis Fabric Hardware Overview

The Juniper Networks Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) spine-and-leaf architecture supports two types of
hardware configurations based on the switch model used as the spine in the VCF.

• QFX5110 VCF

• QFX5110-32Q (spine or leaf)

• QFX5110-48S (leaf)

• QFX5100-24Q (leaf)

• QFX5100-48S (leaf)

• QFX5100-48T (leaf)

NOTE: Available on Junos OS Release 17.3R2 and later.

• QFX5100-96S (leaf)

• QFX3600 (leaf)

• QFX3500 (leaf)

• EX4300 (leaf)

Homogeneous configurations are Installations with all members within the same line of switches (for
example, QFX5100-24Q, QFX5100-48S, QFX5100-48T, and QFX5100-96S in a QFX5100 VCF).
QFX5100 VCF installations with a mixture of models are called mixed mode. For example, a mixed mode
QFX5100 VCF might contain a EX4300 or QFX3600 as leaf devices. Mixed mode devices must be
configured before joining the VCF and are not eligible for the auto-provisioned configuration (plug and
play). Adding a device configured as mixed mode to a VCF can cause those devices to be marked
inactive if the other devices are not also configured as mixed mode. In both mixed mode and
homogeneous configurations, you must run the same Junos OS release on all devices. In a QFX5100
VCF, the optimum configuration comprises only QFX5100 models. When both the QFX5100-24Q and
the QFX5100-48S are available in a VCF, use the QFX5100-24Q as the spine.

In a QFX5110 VCF, the optimum configuration comprises only QFX5110 models. When multiple models
of QFX5110 are in a VCF, use the QFX5110-32Q as the spine. All QFX5110 VCF configurations are
considered homogeneous.

Virtual Chassis Fabric Installation Overview

Plan a Virtual Chassis Fabric Deployment

A Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) architecture supports up to 20 interconnected devices that are managed
as a logical single device. Supported platforms vary depending on the QFX Series switch chosen for the
spine. See Understanding Virtual Chassis Fabric Components and "Virtual Chassis Fabric Hardware
Overview" on page 75 for supported configurations. Although the architecture has a powerful auto-
provisioning option, which allows you to plug and play the devices, careful planning of the deployment
can avoid unexpected results.
 77

For example, if you perform any configuration level commands on one of the devices (including assigning
IP addresses or host names) you no longer can use auto-provisioning.

Determining Transceiver Support for the QFX5110

The port panel of the QFX5110-48S supports 48 logical 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. These data ports (0
through 47) support either 1-Gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or 10-Gigabit Ethernet Ethernet
small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceivers. You can also use SFP+ DAC cables and 10-Gigabit
active optical cables (AOC) in any access port.

The remaining 4 QSFP28 ports (48 through 51) support speeds of 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps. Each port can
be configured as an independent 100-Gigabit Ethernet port or as an independent 40-Gigabit Ethernet
port. These port are usually used as uplinks. In 40-Gigabit Ethernet mode, these ports can be
channelized using QSP+ to SFP+ DAC breakout (DACBO) cables.

You can find information about the optical transceivers supported on your Juniper device by using the
Hardware Compatibility Tool. In addition to transceiver and connection type, the optical and cable
characteristics–where applicable–are documented for each transceiver. The Hardware Compatibility
Tool enables you to search by product, displaying all the transceivers supported on that device, or
category, by interface speed or type. The list of supported transceivers for the QFX5110 is located at
https://pathfinder.juniper.net/hct/product/#prd=QFX5110.

CAUTION: The Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) provides complete
support for Juniper-supplied optical modules and cables. However, JTAC does not
provide support for third-party optical modules and cables that are not qualified or
supplied by Juniper Networks. If you face a problem running a Juniper device that uses
third-party optical modules or cables, JTAC may help you diagnose host-related issues if
the observed issue is not, in the opinion of JTAC, related to the use of the third-party
optical modules or cables. Your JTAC engineer will likely request that you check the
 81

third-party optical module or cable and, if required, replace it with an equivalent Juniper-
qualified component.
Use of third-party optical modules with high-power consumption (for example, coherent
ZR or ZR+) can potentially cause thermal damage to or reduce the lifespan of the host
equipment. Any damage to the host equipment due to the use of third-party optical
modules or cables is the users’ responsibility. Juniper Networks will accept no liability for
any damage caused due to such use.

Cable Specifications for QSFP+, QSFP28, and QSFP-DD Transceivers

The 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+, 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28, and 400G (QDD-400G-DR4 and
QDD-400G-SR4P2) transceivers that are used in QFX Series switches use 12-ribbon multimode fiber
crossover cables with socket MPO-12 (UPC/APC) connectors. The fiber can be either OM3 or OM4.
These cables are not sold by Juniper Networks.

CAUTION: To maintain agency approvals, use only a properly constructed, shielded

cable.

TIP: Ensure that you order cables with the correct polarity. Vendors refer to these
crossover cables as key up to key up, latch up to latch up, Type B, or Method B. If you
are using patch panels between two QSFP+ or QSFP28 transceivers, ensure that the
proper polarity is maintained through the cable plant.

Table 27 on page 81 describes the signals on each fiber. Table 28 on page 82 shows the pin-to-pin
connections for proper polarity.

Understanding QFX Series Fiber-Optic Cable Signal Loss, Attenuation,

and Dispersion

IN THIS SECTION

Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cables | 84

Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable | 84

To determine the power budget and power margin needed for fiber-optic connections, you need to
understand how signal loss, attenuation, and dispersion affect transmission. The QFX Series uses various
types of network cables, including multimode and single-mode fiber-optic cables.
 84

Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cables

Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally (bounce off the
walls of the fiber). Interfaces with multimode optics typically use LEDs as light sources. However, LEDs
are not coherent light sources. They spray varying wavelengths of light into the multimode fiber, which
reflect the light at different angles. Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing
signal dispersion. When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding (layers of lower
refractive index material in close contact with a core material of higher refractive index), higher-order
mode loss occurs. Together, these factors reduce the transmission distance of multimode fiber compared
to that of single-mode fiber.

Single-mode fiber is so small in diameter that rays of light reflect internally through one layer only.
Interfaces with single-mode optics use lasers as light sources. Lasers generate a single wavelength of
light, which travels in a straight line through the single-mode fiber. Compared to multimode fiber, single-
mode fiber has a higher bandwidth and can carry signals for longer distances. It is consequently more
expensive.

For information about the maximum transmission distance and supported wavelength range for the
types of single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cables that are connected to the QFX Series, see the
Hardware Compatibility Tool. Exceeding the maximum transmission distances can result in significant
signal loss, which causes unreliable transmission.

Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable

An optical data link functions correctly provided that modulated light reaching the receiver has enough
power to be demodulated correctly. Attenuation is the reduction in strength of the light signal during
transmission. Passive media components such as cables, cable splices, and connectors cause
attenuation. Although attenuation is significantly lower for optical fiber than for other media, it still
occurs in both multimode and single-mode transmission. An efficient optical data link must transmit
enough light to overcome attenuation.

Dispersion is the spreading of the signal over time. The following two types of dispersion can affect
signal transmission through an optical data link:

• Chromatic dispersion, which is the spreading of the signal over time caused by the different speeds
of light rays.

• Modal dispersion, which is the spreading of the signal over time caused by the different propagation
modes in the fiber.

For multimode transmission, modal dispersion, rather than chromatic dispersion or attenuation, usually
limits the maximum bit rate and link length. For single-mode transmission, modal dispersion is not a
factor. However, at higher bit rates and over longer distances, chromatic dispersion limits the maximum
link length.
 85

An efficient optical data link must have enough light to exceed the minimum power that the receiver
requires to operate within its specifications. In addition, the total dispersion must be within the limits
specified for the type of link in the Telcordia Technologies document GR-253-CORE (Section 4.3) and
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) document G.957.

When chromatic dispersion is at the maximum allowed, its effect can be considered as a power penalty
in the power budget. The optical power budget must allow for the sum of component attenuation,
power penalties (including those from dispersion), and a safety margin for unexpected losses.

Calculating Power Budget and Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables

IN THIS SECTION

Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cables | 85

How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables | 86

Use the information in this topic and the specifications for your optical interface to calculate the power
budget and power margin for fiber-optic cables.

TIP: You can use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to find information about the
pluggable transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device.

To calculate the power budget and power margin, perform the following tasks:

Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cables

To ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation, you need to calculate
the link's power budget (PB), which is the maximum amount of power it can transmit. When you
calculate the power budget, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though all
the parts of an actual system do not operate at the worst-case levels. To calculate the worst-case
estimate of PB, you assume minimum transmitter power (PT) and minimum receiver sensitivity (PR):

PB = PT – PR

The following hypothetical power budget equation uses values measured in decibels (dB) and decibels
referred to one milliwatt (dBm):

PB = PT – PR
 86

PB = –15 dBm – (–28 dBm)

PB = 13 dB

How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables

After calculating a link's PB, you can calculate the power margin (PM), which represents the amount of
power available after subtracting attenuation or link loss (LL) from the PB) A worst-case estimate of PM
assumes maximum LL:

PM = PB – LL

PM greater than zero indicates that the power budget is sufficient to operate the receiver.

Factors that can cause link loss include higher-order mode losses, modal and chromatic dispersion,
connectors, splices, and fiber attenuation. Table 29 on page 86 lists an estimated amount of loss for the
factors used in the following sample calculations. For information about the actual amount of signal loss
caused by equipment and other factors, refer to vendor documentation.

Table 29: Estimated Values for Factors Causing Link Loss

Link-Loss Factor Estimated Link-Loss Value

Higher-order mode losses Single mode—None

Multimode—0.5 dB

Modal and chromatic dispersion Single mode—None

Multimode—None, if product of bandwidth and distance is less than 500 MHz-

km

Faulty connector 0.5 dB

Splice 0.5 dB

Fiber attenuation Single mode—0.5 dB/km

Multimode—1 dB/km

The following sample calculation for a 2-km-long multimode link with a PB of 13 dB uses the estimated
values from Table 29 on page 86. This example calculates LL as the sum of fiber attenuation (2 km @
 87

1 dB/km, or 2 dB) and loss for five connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 2.5 dB) and two splices (0.5 dB
per splice, or 1 dB) as well as higher-order mode losses (0.5 dB). The PM is calculated as follows:

PM = PB – LL

PM = 13 dB – 2 km (1 dB/km) – 5 (0.5 dB) – 2 (0.5 dB) – 0.5 dB

PM = 13 dB – 2 dB – 2.5 dB – 1 dB – 0.5 dB

PM = 7 dB

The following sample calculation for an 8-km-long single-mode link with a PB of 13 dB uses the
estimated values from Table 29 on page 86. This example calculates LL as the sum of fiber attenuation
(8 km @ 0.5 dB/km, or 4 dB) and loss for seven connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 3.5 dB). The pPM is
calculated as follows:

PM = PB – LL

PM = 13 dB – 8 km (0.5 dB/km) – 7(0.5 dB)

PM = 13 dB – 4 dB – 3.5 dB

PM = 5.5 dB

In both the examples, the calculated PM is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient power
for transmission and does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.

Standalone Installation Overview

You can mount a QFX5110:

• Flush with the front of a 19-in. four-post rack. Use the standard mounting brackets provided with the
switch for this configuration.

• Recessed 2 in. (5 cm) from the front of a 19-in. four-post rack. Use the extension bracket provided in
the standard mounting kit for this configuration.

To install and connect a QFX5110:

1. Follow the instructions in "Unpacking a QFX5110" on page 103.

2. Determine how the switch is to be mounted.

Flush or recessed-mounted in a rack, see"Mounting a QFX5110 in a Rack" on page 105 .

3. Follow the instructions in:

a. "Connect the QFX5110 to Earth Ground" on page 121

b. "Connecting the QFX5110 to Power" on page 121

c. "Register Products—Mandatory to Validate SLAs" on page 105

4. Follow the instructions in "Configuring a QFX5110" on page 136.

 101

Virtual Chassis Fabric Installation Overview

For best results, ensure you review and understand the Virtual Chassis Fabric (VCF) configuration
options. These configuration options are explained in "Virtual Chassis Fabric Hardware Overview" on
page 75 and Understanding Virtual Chassis Fabric Configuration. Do not interconnect the switches with
cables until directed in the procedure.

1. Install the individual switches in a rack or cabinet following the guidelines in Plan a Virtual Chassis
Fabric Deployment.

BEST PRACTICE: Install spine devices at the top of the rack or cabinet in order of
primary routing engine (RE), backup RE, and then other leaf devices.

2. Make a list of all of the serial numbers of the devices.

3. Log into each device and configure into fabric mode and mixed mode, if needed. Mixed mode is only
necessary for QFX5100 VCF when QFX5100-96S, QFX5100-48T, QFX3500, QFX3600, or EX4300
devices are present as leaf devices in the configuration. If a spine device is not properly configured in
fabric and mixed mode for QFX5100 mixed VCF, the VCF devices reboot to commit the mixed mode
or fabric settings. When fabric and mixed mode are not set, you might need to manually correct any
issues that are related to the VCF not forming correctly because the device did not immediately join
the VCF.

WARNING: Only configure operational-level commands. If you commit any

configuration-level commands (including assigning IP address), the Virtual Chassis Fabric
cannot form and the switch must be zeroed.

4. Configure the VCF into mixed mode if it is a QFX5100 VCF and the switch models span different
lines of switches.
5. Configure each device for one of the provisioning modes: autoprovision, preprovision, or
nonprovision. See:

• Autoprovisioning a Virtual Chassis Fabric

• Preprovisioning a Virtual Chassis Fabric

• Configuring a Nonprovisioned Virtual Chassis Fabric

6. Connect and configure one of the management ports (C0) or (C1) to a management switch as the
Virtual Management Ethernet interface. Using this interface, you can configure and manage the
devices in the VCF. See "Connect a Device to a Network for Out-of-Band Management" on page 118.
7. Commit your changes.
8. Cable the ports that you will use as VCPs. For cabling examples, see "Connecting QFX5110 in a
QFX5110 Virtual Chassis Fabric" on page 134, Connecting a QFX5100 Device in a Virtual Chassis
 102

Fabric, Connecting a QFX3500 or QFX3600 Switch in a QFX5100 Virtual Chassis Fabric, and
Connecting EX Series Switches in a QFX5100 Virtual Chassis Fabric.
If you configured your devices as either autoprovisioned or preprovisioned, the Virtual Chassis ports
(VCP) are automatically configured. If you configure the devices as nonprovisioned, you must
manually configure the VCPs.

QFX5110 Installation Safety Guidelines

The weight of a QFX5110-48S with fans and power supplies is approximately 23 lbs (10.43 kg). Observe
the following guidelines for lifting and moving a QFX5110:

CAUTION: If you are installing the QFX5110 above 60 in. (152.4 cm) from the floor,
either remove the power supplies, fan modules, and any expansion modules before
attempting to install the switch, or ask someone to assist you during the installation.

• Before installing a QFX5110, read the guidelines in "QFX5110 Site Preparation Checklist" on page 58
to verify that the intended site meets the specified power, environmental, and clearance
requirements.

• Before lifting or moving the QFX5110, disconnect all external cables.

• As when lifting any heavy object, lift most of the weight with your legs rather than your back. Keep
your knees bent and your back relatively straight and avoid twisting your body as you lift. Balance
the load evenly and be sure that your footing is solid.

Connect the QFX5110 to Earth Ground

You must install the QFX5110 in a restricted-access location and ensure that the chassis is always
properly grounded. The QFX5110 has a two-hole protective grounding terminal provided on the chassis.
See Figure 57 on page 123. Under all circumstances, use this grounding connection to ground the
chassis. For AC-powered systems, you must also use the grounding wire in the AC power cord along
 122

with the two-hole grounding lug connection. This tested system meets or exceeds all applicable EMC
regulatory requirements with the two-hole protective grounding terminal.

CAUTION: If an external ground connection is required, ensure that a licensed

electrician has attached an appropriate grounding lug to the grounding cable that you
supply. Using a grounding cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch
(for example, by causing a short circuit).

NOTE: Mount your switch in the rack or cabinet before attaching the grounding lug to
the switch. See "Unpacking and Mounting the QFX5110" on page 103.

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

• Grounding cable for your QFX5110 device—The grounding cable must be 14 AWG (2 mm²),
minimum 90° C wire, or as permitted by the local code (not provided).

• Grounding lug for your grounding cable—The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD10-10A-L or
equivalent (not provided).

• Two 10-32 x 0.25 screws with #10 split-lock washers—Two screws and washers are used to secure
the grounding lug to the side of the chassis (not provided).

• Number 2 screwdriver.

An AC-powered QFX5110 switch chassis gains additional grounding when you plug the power supply in
the switch into a grounded AC power outlet by using an AC power cord appropriate for your
geographical location. See " QFX5110 AC Power Cord Specifications" on page 48.

To connect earth ground to a QFX5110:

1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the
switch is mounted.
2. Place the grounding lug that is attached to the grounding cable over the protective earthing terminal.
3. Secure the grounding lug to the protective earthing terminal with two screws and washers. See
Figure 57 on page 123
 123

Connecting AC Power to a QFX5110

Ensure that you have a power cord appropriate for your geographical location available to connect AC
power to the switch.

Before you begin connecting AC power to the switch:

• Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage).

• Ensure that you have connected the switch chassis to earth ground.

CAUTION: Before you connect power to the switch, a licensed electrician must attach a
cable lug to the grounding and power cables that you supply. A cable with an
incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch (for example, by causing a short circuit).
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure
proper operation, you must connect the chassis to earth ground before you connect it
to power. For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis,
use the protective earthing terminal on the switch chassis to connect to the earth
ground. For instructions on connecting earth ground, see "Connect the QFX5110 to
Earth Ground" on page 121.

On AC systems, the switch gains additional grounding when you plug the power supply
in the switch into a grounded AC power outlet by using the AC power cord appropriate
for your geographical location (see "QFX5110 AC Power Supply Description" on page
45).

CAUTION:

• Install the power supply in the chassis. For instructions on installing a power supply in a QFX5110,
see "Installing a Power Supply in a QFX5110" on page 146.

The QFX5110 is shipped with two 650 W power supplies pre-installed. 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 replacement power supplies in the two slots next to the fan modules without
powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.
 126

NOTE: Each power supply must be connected to a dedicated power source outlet.

To connect AC power to a QFX5110:

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. If only one
power supply is installed, ensure that a blank cover panel is installed over the second power supply
slot.
3. Locate the power cord or cords shipped with the switch; the cords have plugs appropriate for your
geographical location. See "QFX5110 AC Power Specifications" on page 47.

WARNING: Ensure that the power cord does not block access to device components or
drape where people can trip on it.

4. Connect each power supply to the power sources. Insert the coupler end of the power cord into the
AC power cord inlet on the AC power supply faceplate.
5. Push the power cord retainer onto the power cord (see Figure 59 on page 126).

Figure 59: Connecting an AC Power Cord to an AC Power Supply in a QFX5110

1— Power cord retainer

6. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the off (O) position.
 127

NOTE: The switch powers on as soon as power is provided to the power supply. There
is no power switch on the device.

7. Insert the power cord plug into an AC power source outlet.

8. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the on (|) position.
9. 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
"Removing a Fan Module from a QFX5110" on page 141). Do not remove the power supply until you
have a replacement power supply ready: the power supplies or a blank cover panel must be installed
in the switch to ensure proper airflow.

CAUTION: Replace a failed power supply with a blank panel or new power supply
within one minute of removal to prevent chassis overheating.

Connecting DC Power to a QFX5110

Before you begin connecting DC power to the switch:

• Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage).

• Ensure that you have connected the switch chassis to earth ground.

CAUTION: Before you connect power to the switch, a licensed electrician must attach a
cable lug to the grounding and power cables that you supply. A cable with an
incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch (for example, by causing a short circuit).
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure
proper operation, you must connect the chassis to earth ground before you connect it
to power. For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis,
use the protective earthing terminal on the switch chassis to connect to the earth
ground. For instructions on connecting earth ground, see "Connect the QFX5110 to
Earth Ground" on page 121.

On DC systems, you can also ground the chassis using the DC protective earthing
terminal on the DC power supply as an alternate method. This method is useful if you
are unable to access the chassis ground point by using the two-holed grounding lug, see
 128

"Alternate Method to Ground QFX5110-48S-DC and QFX5110-32Q-DC Systems" on

page 123.

• Install the power supply in the chassis. For instructions on installing a power supply in a QFX5110,
see "Installing a Power Supply in a QFX5110" on page 146.

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

• DC power source cables (14–16 AWG) with ring lug (Molex 190700069 or equivalent) (not provided)

• Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 (not provided)

• Multimeter (not provided)

The QFX5110 is shipped from the factory with two 650 W 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 replacement power supplies in the two slots next to the fan modules without
powering off the switch or disrupting the switching function.

WARNING: A DC-powered QFX5110 is intended for installation only in a restricted

access location.

NOTE: The battery returns of the DC power supply must be connected as an isolated DC
return (DC-I).

To connect DC power to a QFX5110:

1. Attach the grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
2. Verify that the DC power cables are correctly labeled before making connections to the power
supply. In a typical power distribution scheme where the return is connected to chassis ground at
the battery plant, you can use a multimeter to verify the resistance of the –48V and RTN DC cables
to chassis ground:

• The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground is positive (+)
and will be installed on the V+ (return) DC power input terminal.

• The cable with very high resistance (indicating an open circuit) to chassis ground is negative (–)
and will be installed on the V– (input) DC power input terminal.

CAUTION: You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper polarity.
The power source cables might be labeled (+) and (–) to indicate their polarity. There
is no standard color coding for DC power cables. The color coding used by the
 129

external DC power source at your site determines the color coding for the leads on
the power cables that attach to the DC power input terminals on each power supply.

3. Install heat-shrink tubing insulation around the power cables.

To install heat-shrink tubing:

a. Slide the tubing over the portion of the cable where it is attached to the lug barrel. Ensure that
tubing covers the end of the wire and the barrel of the lug attached to it.

b. Shrink the tubing with a heat gun. Ensure that you heat all sides of the tubing evenly so that it
shrinks around the cable tightly.

Figure 60 on page 129 shows the steps to install heat-shrink tubing.

NOTE: Do not overheat the tubing.

Figure 60: How to Install Heat-Shrink Tubing

4. Ensure that the input circuit breaker is open so that the voltage across the DC power source cable
leads is 0 V and that the cable leads do not become active while you are connecting DC power.
 130

NOTE: The V+ terminals are referred to as +RTN, and V– terminals are referred to as
–48 V in DC Power Wiring Sequence Warning and DC Power Electrical Safety
Guidelines.

5. Ensure that the power supplies are fully inserted in the chassis.
6. Remove the terminal block cover. The terminal block cover is a piece of clear plastic that snaps into
place over the terminal block (see Figure 61 on page 131).
7. Remove the screws on the terminals using the screwdriver. Save the screws.

WARNING: Ensure that the power cables do not block access to device components
or drape where people can trip on them.

8. Connect each power supply to the power sources. Secure power source cables to the power
supplies by screwing the ring lugs attached to the cables to the appropriate terminals by using the
screw from the terminals (see Figure 61 on page 131 and Figure 62 on page 132).
The QFX5110 is designed to operate with a DC power supply that has a single, non-redundant,
feed input. For source redundancy, two DC power supplies must be installed in the QFX5110;
connect source (A) to one power supply and connect source (B) to the second power supply. This
configuration provides the commonly deployed A/B feed redundancy for the system.

The terminal block of the power supply has four terminals labeled V+, V+, V–, and V– for
connecting DC power source cables labeled positive (+) and negative (–). The V+ terminals are
shunted internally together, as are the V- terminals.

CAUTION: The connection between each power source and power supply must
include a circuit breaker.
Do not connect two sources to a single power supply because doing so can
potentially cause circulating current in feed wires whenever there is any difference
in the voltage of the two sources.

a. Secure the ring lug of the positive (+) DC power source cable to the V+ terminal on the DC
power supply.

b. Secure the ring lug of the negative (–) DC power source cable to the V– terminal on the DC
power supply.

c. Tighten the screws on the power supply terminals until snug using the screwdriver. Do not
overtighten; apply between 5 in-lb (0.56 Nm) and 6 in-lb (0.68 Nm) of torque to the screws.

Removing a Fan Module from a QFX5110

Before you remove a fan module from a QFX5110, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge
Damage).

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to remove a fan module from a QFX5110:

• ESD grounding strap

• Antistatic bag or an antistatic mat

The fan modules in the QFX5110 are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs):
you can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.

CAUTION: Replace a failed fan module with a new fan module within 1 minute of
removal to prevent chassis overheating. Before removing the fan module, ensure you
have a replacement fan module at hand.

To remove a fan module from a QFX5110 (see Figure 67 on page 142):

1. Place the antistatic bag or the antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
2. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the
chassis.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the locking screw (three or four turns).
4. Grasp the handle on the fan module and squeeze the outside of the handle to release the module.

WARNING: To avoid injury, do not touch the fan with your hands or any tools as you
slide the fan module out of the chassis—the fan might still be running.
 142

5. Pull firmly to slide the fan module halfway out of the chassis.
6. When the fan stops spinning, slide the fan module completely out of the chassis.
7. Place the fan module in the antistatic bag or on the antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface.

Figure 67: Removing a Fan Module from a QFX5110

NOTE: When a fan module is removed, the CLI message “Fan/Blower is Absent” is
logged in the system log, and the system raises a minor alarm.

Installing a Fan Module in a QFX5110

Before you install a fan module in a QFX5110, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to
prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage).

The fan modules in a QFX5110 are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs): you
can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.

CAUTION: Replace a failed fan module with a new fan module within 1 minute of
removal to prevent chassis overheating. Before removing the fan module, ensure you
have a replacement fan module at hand.

NOTE: The fan module provides FRU-to-port or port-to-FRU airflow, depending on the
switch product SKU you purchase. In legacy switches, or switches with an LCD, this
airflow is called front to back and back to front.

To install a fan module in a QFX5110 (see Figure 68 on page 143):

 143

1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the
chassis.
2. Taking care not to touch the connectors, remove the fan module from its bag.
3. Align the module with the open slot on the management panel of the chassis and slide it in until it is
fully seated.

Figure 68: Installing a Fan Module in a QFX5110

CAUTION: Damage can occur if you attempt to install a fan module into a chassis with
a different airflow direction. Compare the switch product SKU with the airflow marking
on the handle to ensure that you are installing a fan module with the same airflow

Removing a Power Supply from a QFX5110

Before you remove a power supply from a QFX5110, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge
Damage).

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to remove a power supply from a QFX5110:

• ESD grounding strap

• Antistatic bag or an antistatic mat

• Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 (DC power supply)

All QFX5110 switches, except the QFX5110-32Q-CHAS are shipped from the factory with two 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 replacement power supplies in the two
slots next to the fan modules without powering off the switch or disrupting the switching function.

CAUTION: Replace the power supply with a new power supply within 1 minute of
removal to prevent chassis overheating.

To remove a power supply from a QFX5110 (see Figure 69 on page 145):

1. Place the antistatic bag or the antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
2. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the
chassis.
 145

NOTE: If only one power supply is installed in your QFX5110, you need to power off
the switch before removing the power supply. See "Powering Off a QFX5110" on page
156.

3. Disconnect power to the switch:

• AC power supply—If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the off (O) position.
If the AC power source outlet does not have a power switch, gently pull out the plug end of the
power cord connected to the power source outlet.

• DC power supply—Switch the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit to
the off position.
4. Remove the power source cable from the power supply faceplate:

• AC power supply—Remove the power cord from the power supply faceplate by detaching the
power cord retainer and gently pulling out the socket end of the power cord connected to the
power supply faceplate.

• DC power supply—Remove the screws securing the ring lugs attached to the power source cables
to the power supply using the screwdriver, and remove the power source cables from the power
supply. Replace the screws on the terminals and tighten them.
5. Slide the locking lever toward the handle until it stops.
6. Grasp the power supply handle and pull firmly to slide the power supply halfway out of the chassis.
7. Place one hand under the power supply to support it and slide it completely out of the chassis. Take
care not to touch power supply components, pins, leads, or solder connections.
8. Place the power supply in the antistatic bag or on the antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface.

Installing a Power Supply in a QFX5110

• Before you install a power supply in a QFX5110, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic
Discharge Damage).

• Ensure that the airflow direction of the power supply is the same as the chassis. Labels on the power
supply handle indicate the direction of airflow. See "QFX5110 Cooling System and Airflow
Description" on page 38 for more information.

All QFX5110 switches, except the QFX5110-32Q-CHAS are shipped from the factory with two 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 replacement power supplies in the two
slots next to the fan modules without powering off the switch or disrupting the switching function.

To install a power supply in a QFX5110 (see Figure 71 on page 147):

1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the
chassis.
2. Taking care not to touch power supply components, pins, leads, or solder connections, remove the
power supply from its bag.

CAUTION: Verify that the direction of the arrow on the power supply handle matches
the direction of airflow in the chassis. Ensure that each power supply you install in the
chassis has the same airflow direction. If you install power supplies with two different
airflow directions, Junos OS raises an alarm, and the status (ALM) LED blinks amber.

3. Using both hands, lift the power supply and place it over the EMI gasket (if present) in the power
supply slot and slide the power supply into place.
 147

Remove a Transceiver

Before you remove a transceiver from a device, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions
for the safe handling of lasers (see Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings).

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

• An antistatic bag or an antistatic mat

• Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector
 149

• A dust cover to cover the port or a replacement transceiver

The transceivers for Juniper Networks devices are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable
units (FRUs). You can remove and replace the transceivers without powering off the device or disrupting
device functions.

NOTE: After you remove a transceiver, or when you change the media-type
configuration, wait for 6 seconds for the interface to display the operational commands.

Figure 72 on page 150 shows how to remove a quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+)
transceiver. The procedure is the same for all types of transceivers except the QSFP28 and C form-
factor pluggable (CFP) transceivers.

To remove a transceiver from a device:

1. Place the antistatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.

2. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD wrist strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end
of the strap to the ESD point on the rack.
3. Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect it correctly.

LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to
transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

LASER WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when

inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and protects
your eyes from accidental exposure to laser light.

CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that
are difficult to diagnose.

4. Remove the cable connected to the transceiver (see Disconnect a Fiber-Optic Cable). Cover the
transceiver and the end of each fiber-optic cable connector with a rubber safety cap immediately
after disconnecting the fiber-optic cables.
5. If there is a cable management system, arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent
it from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it does not support its own
weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in the cable
management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.
 150

6. To remove an SFP56-DD, SFP, SFP+, XFP, a QSFP+, or QSFP56-DD transceiver:

a. Using your fingers, pull open the ejector lever on the transceiver to unlock the transceiver.
Note that QSFP-DD and SFP-DD transceivers don't have ejector levers, instead they have a pull
tab which can be used to unlock and remove the transceiver.

CAUTION: Before removing the transceiver, make sure that you open the ejector
lever completely until you hear it click. This precaution prevents damage to the
transceiver.

b. Grasp the transceiver ejector lever and gently slide the transceiver approximately 0.5 in. (1.3 cm)
straight out of the port.

CAUTION: To prevent ESD damage to the transceiver, do not touch the connector
pins at the end of the transceiver.

Figure 72: Remove a QSFP+ Transceiver

1— Ejector lever

To remove a CFP transceiver:

a. Using your fingers, loosen the screws on the transceiver.

b. Grasp the screws on the transceiver and gently slide the transceiver approximately 0.5 in. (1.3 cm)
straight out of the port.

CAUTION: To prevent ESD damage to the transceiver, do not touch the connector
pins at the end of the transceiver.

7. Using your fingers, grasp the body of the transceiver and pull it straight out of the port.
8. Place the transceiver in the antistatic bag or on the antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface.
 151

9. Place the dust cover over the empty port, or install the replacement transceiver.

Install a Transceiver

Before you install a transceiver in a device, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for
safe handling of lasers (see Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings).

Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.

The transceivers for Juniper Networks devices are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable
units (FRUs). You can remove and replace the transceivers without powering off the device or disrupting
the device functions.

NOTE: After you insert a transceiver or after you change the media-type configuration,
wait for 6 seconds for the interface to display operational commands.

NOTE: We recommend that you use only optical transceivers and optical connectors
purchased from Juniper Networks with your Juniper Networks device.

CAUTION: The Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) provides complete
support for Juniper-supplied optical modules and cables. However, JTAC does not
provide support for third-party optical modules and cables that are not qualified or
supplied by Juniper Networks. If you face a problem running a Juniper device that uses
third-party optical modules or cables, JTAC may help you diagnose host-related issues if
the observed issue is not, in the opinion of JTAC, related to the use of the third-party
optical modules or cables. Your JTAC engineer will likely request that you check the
third-party optical module or cable and, if required, replace it with an equivalent Juniper-
qualified component.
Use of third-party optical modules with high-power consumption (for example, coherent
ZR or ZR+) can potentially cause thermal damage to or reduce the lifespan of the host
equipment. Any damage to the host equipment due to the use of third-party optical
modules or cables is the users’ responsibility. Juniper Networks will accept no liability for
any damage caused due to such use.

Figure 73 on page 153 shows how to install a QSFP+ transceiver. The procedure is the same for all types
of transceivers except the QSFP28 and CFP transceivers.

To install a transceiver:
 152

CAUTION: To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the transceiver, do not

touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.

1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD wrist strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end
of the strap to a site ESD point or to the ESD point on the device.
2. Remove the transceiver from its bag.
3. Check to see whether the transceiver is covered with a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the
transceiver with a rubber safety cap.

LASER WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when

inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and protects
your eyes from accidental exposure to laser light.

4. If the port in which you want to install the transceiver is covered with a dust cover, remove the dust
cover and save it in case you need to cover the port later. If you are hot-swapping a transceiver, wait
for at least 10 seconds after removing the transceiver from the port before installing a new
transceiver.
5. Using both hands, carefully place the transceiver in the empty port. The connectors must face the
chassis.

CAUTION: Before you slide the transceiver into the port, ensure that the transceiver is
aligned correctly. Misalignment might cause the pins to bend, making the transceiver
unusable.

6. Slide the transceiver in gently until it is fully seated. If you are installing a CFP transceiver, use your
fingers to tighten the captive screws on the transceiver.
7. Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and the end of the cable, and insert the cable into
the transceiver.

LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or

removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and protects your eyes from
accidental exposure to laser light.
 153

8. If there is a cable management system, arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent
the cable from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it does not support its
own weight as it hangs toward the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in
the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.

CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.

CAUTION: Avoid bending the fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that
are difficult to diagnose.

NOTE: When you install SFP-DD transceivers, push it hard until you hear a click sound.
Use a long nose plier to pull the SFP-DD transceiver connected on the top and bottom
rows of the chassis where the pull tabs face each other.

NOTE: Make sure to use a dust cap to cover ports that are unused.

NOTE: While using Finisar AOC SFP+ optical module with the QFX5130-48C switch,
you may need to pull the module upwards to pull out the module smoothly from the
cage.

Disconnect a Fiber-Optic Cable

Before you disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver, ensure that you have taken the
necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers. See Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings.

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

• A rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver

• A rubber safety cap to cover the fiber-optic cable connector

Juniper Networks devices have optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber-optic cables.

To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in the device:

1. Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by issuing the following command:

[edit interfaces]
user@device# set interface-name disable

LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to
transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

2. Carefully unplug the fiber-optic cable connector from the transceiver.

3. Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.

LASER WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when

inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and protects
your eyes from accidental exposure to laser light.

4. Cover the fiber-optic cable connector with the rubber safety cap.

4. Secure the cables so that they do not support their own weight. Place excess cable out of the way in
a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain their shape.

CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that

Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened loops
of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the fastening point.

How to Handle Fiber-Optic Cables

Fiber-optic cables connect to optical transceivers that are installed in Juniper Networks devices.

Follow these guidelines when handling fiber-optic cables:

• When you unplug a fiber-optic cable from a transceiver, place rubber safety caps over the transceiver
and on the end of the cable.
 156

• Anchor fiber-optic cables to prevent stress on the connectors. When attaching a fiber-optic cable to
a transceiver, be sure to secure the fiber-optic cable so that it does not support its own weight as it
hangs to the floor. Never let a fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector.

• Avoid bending the fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending fiber-optic cables
into arcs smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that are
difficult to diagnose.

• Frequent plugging and unplugging of fiber-optic cables in and out of optical instruments can damage
the instruments, which are expensive to repair. To prevent damage from overuse, attach a short fiber
extension to the optical equipment. The short fiber extension absorbs wear and tear due to frequent
plugging and unplugging. Replacing the short fiber extension is easier and cost efficient compared
with replacing the instruments.

• Keep fiber-optic cable connections clean. Microdeposits of oil and dust in the canal of the transceiver
or cable connector can cause loss of light, reduction in signal power, and possibly intermittent
problems with the optical connection.

• To clean the transceiver canal, use an appropriate fiber-cleaning device such as RIFOCS Fiber
Optic Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the instructions in the cleaning kit you
use.

• After cleaning the transceiver, make sure that the connector tip of the fiber-optic cable is clean.
Use only an approved alcohol-free fiber-optic cable cleaning kit such as the Opptex Cletop-
S®Fiber Cleaner. Follow the instructions in the cleaning kit you use.

Powering Off a QFX5110

Before you remove the power cord to power off a QFX5110:

QFX5120 Troubleshooting Resources Overview

To troubleshoot a QFX5120, you use the Junos OS CLI, alarms, and LEDs on the network ports,
management panel, and components.

• LEDs—When the Routing Engine detects an alarm condition, it lights the red or yellow alarm LED on
the management panel as appropriate. In addition, you can also use component LEDs and network
port LEDs to troubleshoot the QFX5210. For more information, see the following topics:

• "QFX5110 Chassis Status LEDs" on page 33

• "QFX5110 Management Port LEDs" on page 32

• "QFX5110 Network Port LEDs" on page 28

• "QFX5110 Fan Module LED" on page 43

Fire Safety Requirements

IN THIS SECTION

Fire Suppression | 181

Fire Suppression Equipment | 181

In the event of a fire emergency, the safety of people is the primary concern. You should establish
procedures for protecting people in the event of a fire emergency, provide safety training, and properly
provision fire-control equipment and fire extinguishers.

In addition, you should establish procedures to protect your equipment in the event of a fire emergency.
Juniper Networks products should be installed in an environment suitable for electronic equipment. We
recommend that fire suppression equipment be available in the event of a fire in the vicinity of the
equipment and that all local fire, safety, and electrical codes and ordinances be observed when you
install and operate your equipment.

Fire Suppression

In the event of an electrical hazard or an electrical fire, you should first turn power off to the equipment
at the source. Then use a Type C fire extinguisher, which uses noncorrosive fire retardants, to extinguish
the fire.

Fire Suppression Equipment

Type C fire extinguishers, which use noncorrosive fire retardants such as carbon dioxide and Halotron™,
are most effective for suppressing electrical fires. Type C fire extinguishers displace oxygen from the
point of combustion to eliminate the fire. For extinguishing fire on or around equipment that draws air
from the environment for cooling, you should use this type of inert oxygen displacement extinguisher
instead of an extinguisher that leaves residues on equipment.

Do not use multipurpose Type ABC chemical fire extinguishers (dry chemical fire extinguishers). The
primary ingredient in these fire extinguishers is monoammonium phosphate, which is very sticky and
 182

difficult to clean. In addition, in the presence of minute amounts of moisture, monoammonium

phosphate can become highly corrosive and corrodes most metals.

Any equipment in a room in which a chemical fire extinguisher has been discharged is subject to
premature failure and unreliable operation. The equipment is considered to be irreparably damaged.

NOTE: To keep warranties effective, do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to
control a fire at or near a Juniper Networks device. If a dry chemical fire extinguisher is
used, the unit is no longer eligible for coverage under a service agreement.

We recommend that you dispose of any irreparably damaged equipment in an environmentally

responsible manner.

Installation Instructions Warning

WARNING: Read the installation instructions before you connect the device to a power
source.
Waarschuwing Raadpleeg de installatie-aanwijzingen voordat u het systeem met de
voeding verbindt.

General Electrical Safety Guidelines and Warnings

WARNING: Certain ports on the device are designed for use as intrabuilding (within-the-
building) interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and
require isolation from the exposed outside plant (OSP) cabling. To comply with NEBS
(Network Equipment-Building System) requirements and protect against lightning surges
and commercial power disturbances, the intrabuilding ports must not be metallically
connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. The intrabuilding ports on
 200

the device are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling
only. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection for connecting these
interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Avertissement Certains ports de l’appareil sont destinés à un usage en intérieur
uniquement (ports Type 2 ou Type 4 tels que décrits dans le document GR-1089-CORE)
et doivent être isolés du câblage de l’installation extérieure exposée. Pour respecter les
exigences NEBS et assurer une protection contre la foudre et les perturbations de
tension secteur, les ports pour intérieur ne doivent pas être raccordés physiquement aux
interfaces prévues pour la connexion à l’installation extérieure ou à son câblage. Les
ports pour intérieur de l’appareil sont réservés au raccordement de câbles pour intérieur
ou non exposés uniquement. L’ajout de protections ne constitue pas une précaution
suffisante pour raccorder physiquement ces interfaces au câblage de l’installation
extérieure.

CAUTION: Before removing or installing components of a device, connect an

electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to an ESD point and wrap and fasten the
other end of the strap around your bare wrist. Failure to use an ESD grounding strap
could result in damage to the device.
Attention Avant de retirer ou d’installer des composants d’un appareil, raccordez un
bracelet antistatique à un point de décharge électrostatique et fixez le bracelet à votre
poignet nu. L’absence de port d’un bracelet antistatique pourrait provoquer des dégâts
sur l’appareil.

• Install the device in compliance with the following local, national, and international electrical codes:

• United States—National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 70), United States National Electrical
Code.

• Evaluated to the TN power system.

• Canada—Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.

• Suitable for installation in Information Technology Rooms in accordance with Article 645 of the
National Electrical Code and NFPA 75.

Peut être installé dans des salles de matériel de traitement de l’information conformément à
l’article 645 du National Electrical Code et à la NFPA 75.

• Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working so that if an electrical
accident occurs, you can quickly turn off the power.
 201

• Make sure that you clean grounding surface and give them a bright finish before making grounding
connections.

• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist anywhere in your workspace.

• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check the circuit before starting to
work.

• Carefully look for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cords, and missing safety grounds.

• Operate the device within marked electrical ratings and product usage instructions.

• To ensure that the device and peripheral equipment function safely and correctly, use the cables and
connectors specified for the attached peripheral equipment, and make certain they are in good
condition.

You can remove and replace many device components without powering off or disconnecting power to
the device, as detailed elsewhere in the hardware documentation for this device. Never install
equipment that appears to be damaged.

Action to Take After an Electrical Accident

If an electrical accident results in an injury, take the following actions in this order:

1. Use caution. Be aware of potentially hazardous conditions that could cause further injury.

2. Disconnect power from the device.

3. If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim, and
then call for help.

Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Device components that are shipped in antistatic bags are sensitive to damage from static electricity.
Some components can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You can easily generate potentially
damaging static voltages whenever you handle plastic or foam packing material or if you move
components across plastic or carpets. Observe the following guidelines to minimize the potential for
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can cause intermittent or complete component failures:
 202

• Always use an ESD wrist strap when you are handling components that are subject to ESD damage,
and make sure that it is in direct contact with your skin.

If a grounding strap is not available, hold the component in its antistatic bag (see Figure 77 on page
203) in one hand and touch the exposed, bare metal of the device with the other hand immediately
before inserting the component into the device.

WARNING: For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD grounding
strap. The measurement must be in the range 1 through 10 Mohms.
Avertissement Par mesure de sécurité, vérifiez régulièrement la résistance du bracelet
antistatique. Cette valeur doit être comprise entre 1 et 10 mégohms (Mohms).

• When handling any component that is subject to ESD damage and that is removed from the device,
make sure the equipment end of your ESD wrist strap is attached to the ESD point on the chassis.

If no grounding strap is available, touch the exposed, bare metal of the device to ground yourself
before handling the component.

• Avoid contact between the component that is subject to ESD damage and your clothing. ESD
voltages emitted from clothing can damage components.

• When removing or installing a component that is subject to ESD damage, always place it component-
side up on an antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in an antistatic bag (see Figure 77 on
page 203). If you are returning a component, place it in an antistatic bag before packing it.

AC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines

The following electrical safety guidelines apply to AC-powered devices:

• Note the following warnings printed on the device:

“CAUTION: THIS UNIT HAS MORE THAN ONE POWER SUPPLY CORD. DISCONNECT ALL
POWER SUPPLY CORDS BEFORE SERVICING TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK.”

“ATTENTION: CET APPAREIL COMPORTE PLUS D'UN CORDON D'ALIMENTATION. AFIN DE

PRÉVENIR LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES, DÉBRANCHER TOUT CORDON D'ALIMENTATION AVANT
DE FAIRE LE DÉPANNAGE.”
 204

• AC-powered devices are shipped with a three-wire electrical cord with a grounding-type plug that
fits only a grounding-type power outlet. Do not circumvent this safety feature. Equipment grounding
must comply with local and national electrical codes.

• You must provide an external certified circuit breaker (2-pole circuit breaker or 4-pole circuit breaker
based on your device) rated minimum 20 A in the building installation.

• The power cord serves as the main disconnecting device for the AC-powered device. The socket
outlet must be near the AC-powered device and be easily accessible.

• For devices that have more than one power supply connection, you must ensure that all power
connections are fully disconnected so that power to the device is completely removed to prevent
electric shock. To disconnect power, unplug all power cords (one for each power supply).

DC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines

• A DC-powered device is equipped with a DC terminal block that is rated for the power requirements
of a maximally configured device.

• For permanently connected equipment, a readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated
external to the equipment.

• For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

• Be sure to connect the ground wire or conduit to a solid central office earth ground.

• A closed loop ring is recommended for terminating the ground conductor at the ground stud.

• Run two wires from the circuit breaker box to a source of 48 VDC.

• A DC-powered device that is equipped with a DC terminal block is intended only for installation in a
restricted-access location. In the United States, a restricted-access area is one in accordance with
Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.
 206

NOTE: Primary overcurrent protection is provided by the building circuit breaker. This
breaker must protect against excess currents, short circuits, and earth grounding faults
in accordance with NEC ANSI/NFPA 70.

• Ensure that the polarity of the DC input wiring is correct. Under certain conditions, connections with
reversed polarity might trip the primary circuit breaker or damage the equipment.

• The marked input voltage of –48 VDC for a DC-powered device is the nominal voltage associated
with the battery circuit, and any higher voltages are only to be associated with float voltages for the
charging function.

• Because the device is a positive ground system, you must connect the positive lead to the terminal
labeled RTN, the negative lead to the terminal labeled –48 VDC, and the earth ground to the device
grounding points.

DC Power Disconnection Warning

WARNING: Before performing any of the DC power procedures, ensure that power is
removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is off, locate the circuit breaker on
the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF
position, and tape the device handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position.
