Table 1: Rack Requirements for the QFX3500 Device
Rack Requirement | Guidelines |
|---|---|
Rack type | Use a four-post rack. You can mount the device on 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 device can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance. |
