In this guide, we provide a simple, three-step path, to quickly get you up and running with the Juniper Networks®
QFX10016 switch. You'll learn how to install, power on, and congure basic sengs for both AC-powered and DC-
powered QFX10016 switches.
Meet the QFX10016
The QFX10016 is a rigid sheet-metal switch-chassis that houses eld -replaceable units (FRUs) such as control boards,
Switch Interface Boards (SIBs), power supplies, fan trays, and line cards. The switch chassis ships in a cardboard box that
has a two-layer wooden pallet base. The switch chassis is bolted to the pallet base. You can install a QFX10016 switch
in a standard 19 in. (48.26 cm) equipment rack by using the supplied rack-mounng kit and the front-mounng bracket
that is aached to the chassis.
Before you install the QFX10016, make sure the site meets all the power, cooling, and clearance requirements. See the
site preparaon guidelines and power requirements in the QFX10016 Switch Hardware Guide.

Rack-Mounng Requirements
The QFX10016 switch chassis is designed to be installed in standard 19-in. wide four-post racks that are spaced at 1 U
(1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments.
You can stack two QFX10016 chassis in a four-post rack if:
• The rack is 42 U or greater.
• The rack meets the strength requirements to support the weight.
• The facility can provide adequate power and cooling.
Before installing the chassis, ensure that:
• The rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the switch chassis’ external dimensions. The outer edges of
the front-mounng brackets extend the chassis width to 19 in. (48.26 cm).
• The rack is strong enough to support the weight of the switch and cabling.
• The spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for proper clearance around the switch and rack.
2
Clearance Requirements
For the cooling system to funcon properly, the airow around the chassis must be unrestricted. You must allow
sucient clearance around the installed chassis for cooling and maintenance.
If you are mounng a QFX10016 in a rack with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does
not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
Cooling and Airow Requirements
The cooling system in a QFX10016 chassis consists of dual fan trays and dual fan tray controllers. There is no air lter in
a QFX10016.
The air intake to cool the chassis is located on the port (line card) side of the chassis. Air ows into the chassis from the
ports in the control boards and line cards, through the Switch Interface Boards (SIBs), and exits from the fan trays and
the power supplies. This airow is called port-to-FRU cooling or airow out (AFO).
Follow these guidelines:
• For the cooling system to funcon properly, the airow around the chassis must be unrestricted.
• If you are mounng a QFX10016 in a rack with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment
does not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
• Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the QFX10016 for service personnel to remove and install
hardware components. To be NEBS GR-63 compliant, allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack and 24 in. (61
cm) behind the rack.

Unpack the QFX10016
Here’s how to unpack the chassis for QFX10016:
1. Move the shipping box to a staging area as close to the installaon site as possible. While the chassis is bolted to
the pallet, you can use a forkli or pallet jack to move it. Make sure there is enough space to remove components
from the chassis.
2. Posion the shipping box with the arrows poinng up.
3. Slice the nylon straps with the box cuer that hold the shipping boxes to the pallet.

Install the mounng hardware on the rack before installing the switch. The QFX10016 comes with a four-piece set of
mounng brackets that support the chassis in the rack.
NOTE: Two-post installaon racks are not supported.
When you install the mounng brackets, the adjustable poron of the brackets overlap. Use the overlap area to adjust
the total bracket length to t any of the four standard rack sizes: 19 in. (483 mm), 23.62 in. (600 mm), 30 in. (762 mm),
or 31.5 in. (800 mm).
To install the mounng brackets in a four-post rack:
1. Remove the mounng brackets from the accessory box.
2. Decide where to place the chassis in the rack. If the rack is empty, mount the switch in the lowest possible locaon.
See "Rack-Mounng Requirements" on page 2.
3. Posion the le front adjustable mounng bracket at the desired posion in the le side of the rack and line up its
front screw holes with the holes in the rack. Use four mounng screws appropriate for your rack to aach the le
front bracket to the rack.
4. Posion one of the rear brackets at the le rear of the rack on the same level as the le front bracket, so that the
rear bracket overlaps with the le front bracket. The screw holes for connecng the front and rear brackets should
