System Overview
The Juniper Networks QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L are compact 1 U standalone Ethernet switches that provides
a line rate configuration packet performance, very low latency, and a rich set of Layer 3 features. The routing engine and
control plane are driven by the 1.8 Ghz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB of memory and two 32 GB solid-state drives
(SSD) for storage.
The QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L comes standard with redundant fans and redundant power supplies. Switches
can be ordered with either ports-to-FRUs or FRUs-to-ports airflow. The QFX5200-32C is available with AC or DC power
supplies; the QFX5200-32C-L is available only with AC power supplies.
The QFX5200-32C models run standard Junos Operating System (OS) and is supported as a standalone switch, (Junos
OS Release 15.1X53-D30 and later), a member in a QFX5200-32C Virtual Chassis (Junos OS Release 17.3R2 and later,
or as a; satellite device in a Junos Fusion Provider Edge system (Junos OS Release 18.1R1and later). The QFX5200-32C-L

Part 1, Mounting the Switch into a 4 Post Rack
The QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L can only be mounted in a four-post rack configuration. To mount the device in
a 19-inch rack:
1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point
WARNING: Ensure that you understand how to prevent ESD damage by proper use of an ESD
grounding strap.
2. Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance, and secure it to the
building structure.
WARNING: If you are mounting multiple units in the rack, mount the heaviest unit at the bottom
and mount the others from bottom to top in order of decreasing weight. The switch weighs
approximately 23.5 lb (10.66 kg). Installing the QFX5200-32C in a rack or cabinet requires two people
to lift the switch and secure it to the rack.

3. Align the holes in the side mounting-rail with the holes on the side of the chassis as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Align Side Mounting-Rail with Chassis Holes
4. Attach the side mounting-rail to the switch using six mounting screws.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the opposite side of the chassis.
6. Have one person grasp both sides of the switch, lift it, and position it in the rack so that the front bracket is aligned
with the rack holes.
7. Have a second person secure the front of the switch to the rack using four mounting screws (and cage nuts and washers
if your rack requires them.) Tighten the screws
