Unpack and Mount the QFX5130 Switch
Unpack a QFX5130 Switch
The QFX5130 chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware components. A QFX5130 switch is shipped in a cardboard carton, secured with foam packing material.
The QFX5130 switch is maximally protected inside the shipping carton. Do not unpack the switch until you are ready to begin installation.
To unpack a QFX5130 switch:
- Move the shipping carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible, but where you have enough room to remove the system components.
- Position the carton so that the arrows are pointing up.
- Open the top flaps on the shipping carton.
- Pull out the packing material holding the switch in place.
- Verify the contents against the inventory included in the box. Table 1 lists the inventory of components supplied with a QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD.
- Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the switch later.

Mount the QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD Switch in a Rack by Using the QFX5220-32CD-4PRMK Rack Mount Kit
You can mount QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD switches only on a four-post 19-in. rack by using the QFX5220-32CD-4PRMK rack mount kit (RMK) provided with the switch. The RMK can be adapted for a four-post rack-only installation. A four-post installation evenly supports the switch by all four corners.
For four-post rack installations, the RMK contains two front-mounting rail assemblies and two rear-mounting blades that match the front-mounting rails. This configuration allows either end of the switch to be mounted flush with the rack and still be adjustable for racks with different depths.
The front and rear rack rails must be spaced between 28 in. (71.1 cm) and 32 in. (81.2 cm) front to back.

Before You Begin Rack Mounting
Before you begin mounting a QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD switch in the rack or cabinet:
A QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD switch requires two people for installation, one person to lift the device into place and another person to attach the device to the rack. If you are installing the QFX5130-32CD/QFX5130E-32CD above 60 in. (152.4 cm) from the floor, we recommend that you remove the power supplies and fan modules to minimize the weight before attempting to install the device.
If you are mounting multiple devices on a rack, mount the device in the lowest position of the rack first. Proceed to mount the rest of the devices from the bottom to the top of the rack to minimize the risk of the rack toppling.
