How to Install a ORv3-Compliant Switch with Tray Assembly (2OU) in Your ORv3 Rack

Use the information in this topic to install the Open Rack V3-compliant switch with tray assembly in an ORv3 rack.

The Open Rack V3 (ORv3)-compliant switch with tray assembly (henceforth written as switch-tray assembly in this topic) features a switch that comes pre-assembled in the tray, making the installation process quick and straightforward.

Warning:

Use this ORv3-compliant tray only with the listed or certified Juniper product. Failure to comply might result in damage.

Unpack the Switch-Tray Assembly

We ship the switch-tray assembly in a cardboard carton, secured with foam packing material.

CAUTION:

The switch-tray assembly has maximum protection inside the shipping carton. Do not unpack the switch until you are ready to begin installation.

To unpack the switch-tray assembly:

  1. Move the shipping carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible. Make sure that you have enough room to remove the system components.
  2. Position the carton so that the arrows are pointing up.
  3. Open the top flaps on the shipping carton.
  4. Remove the accessory box and verify the contents in it against the parts inventory on the label attached to the carton.
  5. Pull out the packing material holding the assembly in place.
  6. Verify the chassis components received against the packing list included with the switch-tray assembly.
  7. Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the switch-tray assembly later.

Parts Inventory (Packing List)

The shipment includes a packing list. Check the parts you receive in the shipping carton against the items on the packing list. We ship the parts as per the configuration that you order.

If any part on the packing list is missing, contact your customer service representative or contact Juniper customer care from within the U.S. or Canada by telephone at 1-888-314-5822.

Install Switch-Tray Assembly in an ORv3 Rack

Before installing the switch-tray assembly in an ORv3 rack:

To install the switch-tray assembly in an ORv3 rack:

  1. Remove the tray assembly from shipping carton.
    Figure 1: Switch-Tray Assembly Switch-Tray Assembly
  2. Place the switch-tray assembly on a flat, stable surface.
  3. Align the rails and secure it in place on your ORv3 rack.
    Note: Rails are not provided with the switch-tray assembly.
  4. Carefully align the switch-tray assembly with the rails in the rack.

  5. Slide the switch-tray assembly into the rack until the IT Gear Input Connector at the rear of the switch-tray assembly fully engages with the bus bar.

    Bus bar

    Note:

    The bus bar delivers power to the switch.

    When the switch-tray assembly is fully inserted in the rack, the latch locking tabs behind the rack's rail secure the switch-tray assembly in place.

    Note: For the switch-tray assembly installed in an ORv3 rack, you do not require an additional grounding or power configuration. The ORv3 rack infrastructure provides integrated power delivery and grounding. Ensure you install and ground the rack properly according to site standards.

Uninstall the Switch-Tray Assembly from the ORv3 rack

To uninstall the switch-tray assembly from the ORv3 rack:
  1. Locate the latch locking tabs on both sides of the switch-tray assembly.
    Figure 5: Locate the Latch Locking Tabs Locate the Latch Locking Tabs
  2. Push the latch locking tabs inward on both sides to release the switch-tray assembly from the rack post and gently slide the switch-tray assembly out of the ORv3 rack at same time.
    Note: Do not release the latch locking tabs before pulling the switch-tray assembly out. Both actions must be done simultaneously.

Ground the Switch-Tray Assembly

Note:

To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, you must connect the ORv3 rack to the earth ground.

You don't need to make any external connections to ground the switch-tray assembly. The switch-tray assembly is connected to earth ground when you slide in the tray.

The switch-tray assembly gets earth ground protection by virtue of these features:

  1. In the switch-tray assembly, the protective earthing terminal of the switch is connected to the tray using a grounding cable terminated with two–hole protective grounding lugs.
  2. When the switch-tray assembly is completely inserted into the ORv3 rack, the ground contacts of the IT Gear Input Connector provide an electrically conductive path to the busbar and the rack frame.
  3. The rack frame has dedicated grounding points typically located at the top of the rack. These grounding points help ground a loaded ORv3 rack.
    Note:

    You do not need separate grounding for your switch-tray assembly. The ORv3 rack infrastructure includes built-in grounding. Ensure the rack grounding is implemented according to site requirements. You do not need to take additional action for the switch.
