Installing a Power Supply in a QFX5110

Before you install a power supply in a QFX5110, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage).
Ensure that the airflow direction of the power supply is the same as the chassis. Labels on the power supply handle indicate the direction of airflow. See QFX5110 Cooling System and Airflow Description for more information.

All QFX5110 switches, except the QFX5110-32Q-CHAS are shipped from the factory with two power supplies. Each power supply is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU) when the second power supply is installed and running. You can install replacement power supplies in the two slots next to the fan modules without powering off the switch or disrupting the switching function.

To install a power supply in a QFX5110 (see Figure 2):

Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
Taking care not to touch power supply components, pins, leads, or solder connections, remove the power supply from its bag.
CAUTION:
Verify that the direction of the arrow on the power supply handle matches the direction of airflow in the chassis. Ensure that each power supply you install in the chassis has the same airflow direction. If you install power supplies with two different airflow directions, Junos OS raises an alarm, and the status (ALM) LED blinks amber.
Using both hands, lift the power supply and place it over the EMI gasket (if present) in the power supply slot and slide the power supply into place.

Note:
The EMI gasket is not present in QFX5110-48S switch.
Ensure the power supply is fully seated and the locking lever is in place.

Note:

Each power supply must be connected to a dedicated power source outlet.

Note:

If you have a Juniper Care service contract, register any addition, change, or upgrade of hardware components at https://www.juniper.net/customers/support/tools/updateinstallbase/. Failure to do so can result in significant delays if you need replacement parts. This note does not apply if you replace existing components with the same type of component.
