Return a QFX5130 Chassis or Components

Locate the Serial Number on a QFX5130 Device or Component

If you are need to return a switch or component to Juniper Networks for repair or replacement, you must locate the serial number of the switch or component. You must provide this serial number to the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) when you contact them to obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA).

If the switch is operational and you can access the CLI), you can list serial numbers for the switch and for some components with a CLI command. If you do not have access to the CLI or if the serial number for the component does not appear in the command output, you can locate the serial number ID label on the switch or component.

Note:

If you want to find the serial number ID label on a component, you need to remove the component from the switch chassis, for which you must have the required parts and tools available.

List the Chassis and Component Details Using the CLI

To list the switch and components and their serial numbers, use the show chassis hardware CLI operational mode command. The following outputs list the switch components and serial numbers for QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD and QFX5130-48C switches.

Locate the Chassis Serial Number ID Label on a QFX5130 Switch

You can find the chassis serial number in either the show chassis hardware command output or physically on a pull-out tab located on the right side of the QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD port panel. See Figure 1 for the QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD. The chassis serial number for QFX5130-48C is located on the top panel. See Figure 2.

Locate the Serial Number ID Labels on FRUs in a QFX5130 Switch

The power supplies and fan modules installed in a QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD are field-replaceable units (FRUs). For each FRU, you must remove the FRU from the switch chassis to see the FRU serial number ID label.

Note:

You must remove the fan module to read the fan serial number from the serial number ID label. The fan module serial number cannot be viewed through the CLI. Fan Tray 2 refers to the third module from the left, counting from 0.

  • AC Power supply—The serial number ID label is on the top of the AC power supply. Figure 3 shows the location of the serial number ID label on the AC power supply for QFX5130 switches.

    Figure 3: Serial Number ID Label on a QFX5130 AC Power SupplySerial Number ID Label on a QFX5130 AC Power Supply
  • Fan module—The serial number ID label is on the bottom of the fan module for QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD switches. Figure 4 shows the location of serial number on QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD switches. The serial number ID label is on the side of the fan module for QFX5130-48C switches. Figure 5 shows the location of serial number on QFX5130-48C switches.

Remove the Solid-State Drives for RMA on QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD Switches

The QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD switches have two solid-state drives (SSDs) that store the software images, system logs, and the configuration files. Before returning a chassis to Juniper Networks as part of a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA), you have the option of removing the SSDs and disposing them according to your own company’s security procedures. Before you begin this procedure, ensure you have the following tools:

  • ESD grounding strip (not provided)

  • Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

Use this optional procedure to remove the drives from the QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD switches after the device has shutdown and you’ve removed it from the rack or cabinet. The SSD doors are located on the top of the QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD switch.

  1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
  2. Place the device on a firm surface such as a workbench or a table with the SSD doors facing up.
  3. Use the number 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the three flat-head screws from each door on the top of the device. See Figure 6.
