Figure 6: QFX-EM-4Q Expansion Module
EX4600-EM-8F, which provides eight additional 10-Gigabit Ethernet Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) or four 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports. See Figure 7.
CAUTION:Use only the top four ports or the bottom four ports for SFP transceivers. Because SFP transceivers are larger than SFP+ transceivers, attempting to stack SFP transceivers can cause internal damage to the module.
Figure 7: EX4600-EM-8F Expansion Module
Note:The EX4600-EM-8F is not supported on the QFX5100-24Q running in QFabric systems.
The QFX5100-24Q is configured for the QFX-EM-4Q by default, but any combination of the two modules is supported. Expansion modules can be hot-inserted or hot-removed. However, when an EX4600-EM-8F is inserted instead of the default QFX-EM-4Q, the new configuration causes the interfaces to temporarily go down. Likewise, when an EX4600-EM-8F is running on the QFX5100-24Q and it is swapped with a QFX-EM-4Q, the interfaces temporarily go down, which can cause a short disruption in traffic.
QFX5100-24Q-AA
As shown in Figure 8, the QFX5100-24Q-AA is a 1 U, top-of-rack, 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ switch with 24 high-density QSFP+ ports. Each QSFP+ port can be configured to support 40-Gigabit Ethernet or as a set of 4 independent 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. The QFX5100-24Q-AA can also be configured to support twenty-four 40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces or ninety-six 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using breakout cables (channelization mode) with 1280 Gbps output. The switch can be ordered with either ports-to-FRUs or FRUs-to-ports airflow and with AC or DC power supplies. The QFX5100-24Q switch provides full duplex throughput of 2.56 Tbps.
The QFX5100-24Q-AA module bay can accommodate a single Packet Flow Accelerator (PFA) double-wide expansion module (QFX-PFA-4Q) or two single-wide optional expansion modules (two or one each of QFX-EM-4Q and EX4600-EM-8F). The QFX-PFA-4Q, which features a high-performance field-programmable gate array (FPGA), provides four additional QSFP+ ports to the chassis. Each QFX-EM-4Q adds four QSFP+ ports to the chassis and each EX4600-EM-8F adds eight 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports to the chassis. The QFX-EM-4Q ports can also be configured as either access ports or uplink ports, but only ports 0 and 2 can be channelized using port mode. For full details on the different port channelization modes, see Port Panel of a QFX5100-24Q Device. All ports on the QFX5100-24Q and QFX-EM-4Q can be configured as either access ports or uplink ports.
This switch provides the hardware support to enable PTP boundary clocks by using the QFX-PFA-4Q module. The QFX5100-24Q-AA also supports GPS in and out signals when QFX-PFA-4Q is installed.

The QFX5100-24Q-AA supports the following expansion modules to increase port density:
QFX-PFA-4Q (double-wide), which provides four additional QSFP+ ports. See Figure 9.
Figure 9: QFX-PFA-4Q Expansion Module
QFX-EM-4Q (single-wide), which provides 4 additional 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports. See Figure 6.
EX4600-EM-8F (single-wide), which provides 8 additional 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports. See Figure 7.
The QFX5100-24Q switch supports the QFX-PFA-4Q and you must take the switch offline before replacing the expansion module. Any combination of EX4600-EM-8F and QFX-EM-4Q is also supported. These two expansion modules can be hot-inserted or hot-removed. However, when an EX4600-EM-8F is inserted instead of a QFX-EM-4Q, the new configuration causes the interfaces to temporarily go down. Likewise, when an EX4600-EM-8F is running on the QFX5100-24Q and is swapped with a QFX-EM-4Q, the interfaces temporarily go down, which can cause a short disruption in traffic.

Understanding Hardware Redundancy of QFX5100 Device Components and Functionality
The following hardware components provide redundancy on a QFX5100 switch:
Power supplies—The QFX5100 switch has one or two power supplies. 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 balances 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—The 1 U models of QFX5100 line of switches have five fan modules; the 2 U QFX5100-96S has three fan modules. If a fan module fails and is unable to keep the QFX5100 switch within the desired temperature thresholds, chassis alarms occur and the QFX5100 switch can shut down.

Field-Replaceable Units in a QFX5100 Device
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are components that you can replace at your site. The QFX5100 device 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.
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 2 lists the FRUs for the QFX5100 device and actions to take before removing them.

If you have a Juniper Care service contract, register any addition, change, or upgrade of hardware components at https://www.juniper.net/customers/support/tools/updateinstallbase/ . Failure to do so can result in significant delays if you need replacement parts. This note does not apply if you replace existing components with the same type of component.
