Mounting a QFX5110 in a Rack
You can mount a QFX5110 on a four-post 19-in. rack using the mounting kit provided with the switch. This kit contains two front-mounting rails with two matching rear-mounting blades. This configuration allows either end of the switch to be mounted flush with the rack and still be adjustable for racks with different depths.
Space the front and rear rack rails between 23.5 in. (59.7 cm) to 30.6 in. (77.7 cm) front-to-back.

Before You Begin Rack Installation
Before you begin mounting a QFX5110 switch in the rack:
Optional equipment: grounding cable kit with bracket, lug, and two screws and washers.
All QFX5110 switches require two people for installation, one person to lift the switch into place and another person to attach the switch to the rack. If you are installing the QFX5110 above 60 in. (152.4 cm) from the floor, you can remove the power supplies and fan modules to minimize the weight before attempting to install the switch.
If you are mounting multiple switches on a rack, mount the switch in the lowest position of the rack first. Proceed to mount the rest of the switches from the bottom to the top of the rack to minimize the risk of the rack toppling.
