Connecting the QFX5130-32CD Switch to Power
How to Connect AC Power to a QFX5130-32CD Switch
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 Ground the QFX5130-32CD and Connect Power. 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 AC Power Cord with Type C15 Coupler Specifications.
Install the power supplies in the chassis. For instructions on installing a power supply in a QFX5130-32CD, see How to Install an AC Power Supply in a QFX5130-32CD.
The QFX5130-32CD ships from the factory with two power supplies. Each power supply is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU). You can install a replacement power supply in the slots next to the fan modules without powering off the switch or disrupting the switching function.
Each power supply must be connected to a dedicated power source outlet.
