• The SFP28 ports are grouped in quads (groups of four) and you can configure the speed of
the ports only in quads; you cannot configure the speed for a single SFP28 port.
• The SFP28 ports can operate at 25-Gbps, 10-Gbps, or 1-Gbps speed, based on the
configuration set at the quad level. The ports are configured to operate at 10-Gbps speed by
default. If you need the ports to support the other speeds, you must configure those speeds.
CAUTION: When you use the latest OEM part number FCLF8521P2BTL (printed on
the transceiver label), you can install 1GbE transceivers (such as QFX-SFP-1GE-T) in any
port with no restrictions. The same applies for devices that support 10GbE copper
transceivers. However, if you are using the older OEM part number SP7041-M1-JN (not
shipped in last 3+ years) instead, do not install 1GbE copper transceivers (such as QFX-
SFP-1GE-T) directly above or below another 1GbE copper transceiver. Use only the top
row or bottom row to avoid damage to the device caused when the transceivers are
installed above or below each other.

Virtual Chassis
All QFX5120 switch models support Virtual Chassis technology. You can connect a QX5120 switch only
with another QFX5120 switch of the same model in a Virtual Chassis configuration. QFX5120 switches
do not have dedicated or default Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs). However, you can configure any of the
QSFP28 ports as VCPs when those ports are not channelized. Table 3 on page 16 lists the Junos OS
release in which Virtual Chassis support is introduced and the QSFP28 ports that you can configure as
VCPs.

QFX5120 Cooling System
The cooling system in QFX5120 switches consists of fan modules and built-in fans in the power
supplies. The airflow direction depends on the fan modules and power supplies installed in the switch.
You can order a QFX5120 switch that supports front-to-back airflow (air enters through the front of the
switch) or back-to-front airflow (air enters through the back of the switch).
17
The fan modules are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs) installed in the rear
panel of the switch: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting
switch functions.
QFX5120 Power System
QFX5120-32C, QFX5120-48T, and QFX5120-48Y switches support two 650-W AC or DC power

supplies with front-to-back or back-to-front airflow. Additionally, QFX5120-48T switches support two
850-W high-voltage power supplies with AC or DC input and front-to-back or back-to-front airflow.
QFX5120-48YM switches support two 850-W AC or DC power supplies with front-to-back or back-to-
front airflow. Power supplies for the QFX5120 switch are fully redundant, load-sharing, and hot-
removable and hot-insertable FRUs when the second power supply is installed and running. You can
remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions. Each power
supply is cooled by its own internal cooling system. We ship QFX5120 switches with two AC or DC
power supplies preinstalled in the rear panel of the chassis.
CAUTION: Do not mix:
• AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis.
• 650-W and 850-W power supplies in the same QFX5120-48T chassis.
• Power supplies with different airflow directions in the same chassis.
• Fan modules with different airflow directions in the same chassis.
• Power supplies and fan modules with different airflow directions in the same chassis.
If you install power supplies or fan modules with different airflow directions, Junos OS
raises an alarm.

QFX5120 Fan Module Status | 57
The cooling system in QFX5120 switches consists of fan modules and built-in fans in the power
supplies. The airflow direction depends on the fan modules and power supplies installed in the switch.
You can order a QFX5120 switch that supports front-to-back airflow (air enters through the front of the
switch) or back-to-front airflow (air enters through the back of the switch).
The fan modules are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs) installed in the rear
panel of the switch: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting
switch functions.
Fan Modules for QFX5120 Switches
We ship QFX5120-32C switches with six fan modules (5+1 redundancy) preinstalled in the rear panel.
We ship QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, and QFX5120-48YM switches with five fan modules (4+1
redundancy) preinstalled in the rear panel.
The fan modules are available in two models that have different airflow directions:
• Front-to-back (cold air enters through the front of the switch and hot air exhausts through the back
of the switch), indicated by the label F2B and red handle in QFX5120-32C switches and by the label
AIR OUT and Juniper Gold handle in QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, and QFX5120-48YM switches.
• Back-to-front (cold air enters through the back of the switch and hot air exhausts through the front),
indicated by the label B2F and blue handle in QFX5120-32C switches and by the label AIR IN and
Juniper Azure Blue handle in QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, and QFX5120-48YM switches.
Figure 39 on page 46 shows the fan module for QFX5120-32C switches.

Mixing components with different airflow directions in the same chassis hampers the
performance of the cooling system of the switch and leads to overheating of the
chassis.
If you install power supplies or fan modules with different airflow directions, Junos OS
raises an alarm.
Under normal operating conditions, the fan modules operate at a moderate speed.
Temperature sensors in the chassis monitor the temperature within the chassis.
If a fan module fails or if the ambient temperature inside the chassis rises above the
acceptable range, Junos OS raises an alarm. If the temperature inside the chassis rises
above the threshold temperature, the system shuts down automatically.
51
QFX5120 Models with Front-to-Back Airflow
In the QFX5120 switch models that have front-to-back airflow, the cold air intake to cool the chassis is

AC Power Supply Airflow
Each power supply is cooled by its own internal cooling system.
CAUTION: Verify that the airflow direction in the power supplies matches the airflow
direction in the fan modules. Ensure that each power supply that 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. If you need to convert the airflow direction
in a chassis, you must replace all the fan modules and power supplies with the other
airflow direction and update the installation base (see Register Products—Mandatory to
Validate SLAs).
Table 22 on page 62 lists the AC power supplies used in QFX5120 switches and the direction of

Environmental Requirements and Specifications for QFX5120 Switches
You must install the switch in a rack or cabinet. It must be housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and
temperature-controlled environment.
Follow these environmental guidelines:
• The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and filters, reducing
the efficiency of the switch cooling system.
• Maintain ambient airflow for normal switch operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
intake air is too warm, the switch might overheat, leading to the switch temperature monitor shutting
down the device to protect the hardware components.
Table 45 on page 97 provides the required environmental conditions for normal switch operation for
QFX5120.

and equipment closets, in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
General Site Guidelines
Efficient device operation requires proper site planning and maintenance. It also requires proper layout
of the equipment, rack or cabinet, and wiring closet.
To plan and create an acceptable operating environment for your device and prevent environmentally
caused equipment failures:
• Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and conductive material, such as metal flakes.
• Follow the prescribed airflow guidelines to ensure that the cooling system functions properly. Ensure
that exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the device.
• Follow the prescribed electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention procedures to prevent damaging the
equipment. Static discharge can cause components to fail completely or intermittently over time.

• When you mount the switch in a cabinet, ensure that ventilation through the cabinet is
sufficient to prevent overheating.
• Ensure that the cold air supply you provide through the cabinet adequately dissipates the
thermal output of the switch (or switches).
• Ensure that the cabinet allows the hot exhaust air from the switch to exit the cabinet
without recirculating into the chassis. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs
hot air exhaust extraction from the top allows the best airflow through the chassis. If the
cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations in these elements assist with removing the hot
air exhaust.
• The QFX5120 fans exhaust hot air either through the vents on the front panel or through
the fan modules and power supplies. Install the switch in the cabinet in a way that
maximizes the open space in front of or behind the chassis depending on the airflow
direction inside the chassis. This maximizes the clearance for critical airflow.
• Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from the chassis.
• Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent cabinets allows for the proper clearance around
the switch and cabinet.

Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance for

QFX5120 Switches
When planning the site for installing a QFX5120 switch, you must ensure sufficient clearance around
the switch.
• See Figure 67 on page 104 for clearance requirements for QFX5120-32C switches.
• See Figure 68 on page 104 for clearance requirements for QFX5120-48T switches.
• See Figure 69 on page 105 for clearance requirements for QFX5120-48Y switches.
• See Figure 70 on page 105 for clearance requirements for QFX5120-48YM switches.
Follow these clearance requirements:
• For the cooling system to function properly, ensure that the airflow around the chassis is
unrestricted.
• If you are mounting the switch on a rack or cabinet along with other equipment, ensure that the hot
air exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the cold air intake vents of the chassis.
• Leave at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) clearance in front of and behind the chassis for airflow.
• Leave at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) clearance on the left of the chassis for installing the grounding lug.
• NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack or cabinet and
24 in. (61 cm) behind the rack or cabinet.
• Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) clearance in front of and behind the switch for service personnel to
remove and install hardware components.

• QFX5120-48Y—Hardware Compatibility Tool page for QFX5120-48Y
• QFX5120-48YM—Hardware Compatibility Tool page for QFX5120-48YM
NOTE: We recommend that you use only optical transceivers and optical connectors purchased
from Juniper Networks with your Juniper Networks device.
CAUTION: The Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) provides

complete support for Juniper-supplied optical modules and cables. However, JTAC does
not provide support for third-party optical modules and cables that are not qualified or
supplied by Juniper Networks. If you face a problem running a Juniper device that uses
third-party optical modules or cables, JTAC may help you diagnose host-related issues if
the observed issue is not, in the opinion of JTAC, related to the use of the third-party
107
optical modules or cables. Your JTAC engineer will likely request that you check the
third-party optical module or cable and, if required, replace it with an equivalent
Juniper-qualified component.
Use of third-party optical modules with high-power consumption (for example,
coherent ZR or ZR+) can potentially cause thermal damage to or reduce the lifespan of
the host equipment. Any damage to the host equipment due to the use of third-party
optical modules or cables is the users’ responsibility. Juniper Networks will accept no
liability for any damage caused due to such use.
The Gigabit Ethernet transceivers installed in QFX5120 switches support digital optical monitoring
(DOM): You can view the diagnostic details for these transceivers by issuing the operational mode CLI
command show interfaces diagnostics.
Cable Specifications for QSFP+ and QSFP28 Transceivers on QFX5120

Switches
The 40GbE QSFP+ and 100GbE QSFP28 transceivers used in QFX5120 switches use 12-ribbon
multimode fiber crossover cables with MPO/UP, MPO/UPC, or MPO/APC socket connectors. The fiber
can be either OM3 or OM4. We do not sell these cables.
CAUTION: To maintain agency approvals, use only a properly constructed, shielded

cable.
TIP: Ensure that you order cables with the correct polarity. Vendors refer to these crossover
cables as key up to key up, latch up to latch up, Type B, or Method B. If you are using patch
panels between two QSFP+ ports, ensure that the proper polarity is maintained through the
cable plant.
Table 49 on page 108 describes the signals on each fiber. Table 50 on page 108 shows the pin-to-pin
connections for proper polarity.

How to Calculate the Fiber-Optic Cable Power Budget for QFX Series
Switches
Calculate the fiber-optic data link's power budget when planning fiber-optic cable layout and distances
to ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation. The power budget is
the maximum amount of power the link can transmit. When you calculate the power budget, you use a
worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though all the parts of an actual system do not
operate at the worst-case levels.
To calculate the worst-case estimate for the fiber-optic cable power budget (PB) for the link:
110
1. Determine values for the link's minimum transmitter power (PT) and minimum receiver sensitivity
(PR). For example, here, (PT) and (PR) are measured in decibels, and decibels are referenced to
1 milliwatt (dBm):
PT = –15 dBm
PR = –28 dBm
NOTE: See the specifications for your transmitter and receiver to find the minimum
transmitter power and minimum receiver sensitivity.
2. Calculate the power budget (PB) by subtracting (PR) from (PT):

–15 dBm – (–28 dBm) = 13 dBm
How to Calculate the Fiber-Optic Cable Power Margin for QFX Series
Switches
Before you calculate the power margin, calculate the power budget. See "How to Calculate the Fiber-
Optic Cable Power Budget for QFX Series Switches" on page 109.
Calculate the fiber-optic data link's power margin when planning fiber-optic cable layout and distances
to ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient signal power to overcome system losses and still
satisfy the minimum input requirements of the receiver for the required performance level. The power
margin (PM ) is the amount of power available after attenuation or link loss (LL) is subtracted from the
power budget (PB).
When you calculate the power margin, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even
though all the parts of an actual system do not operate at worst-case levels. A power margin (PM )
greater than zero indicates that the power budget is sufficient to operate the receiver and that it does
not exceed the maximum receiver input power. This means the link will work. A power margin (PM) that
is zero or negative indicates insufficient power to operate the receiver. See the specification for your
receiver to find the maximum receiver input power.
To calculate the worst-case estimate for the power margin (PM) for the link:
1. Determine the maximum value for link loss (LL) by adding estimated values for applicable link-loss
factors; for example, use the sample values for various factors as provided in Table 51 on page 111
(here, the link is 2 km long and multimode, and the power margin (PM) is 13 dBm).
111
Table 51: Estimated Values for Factors Causing Link Loss
Link-Loss Factor Estimated Link Loss Value Sample Link Loss Calculation Values
Higher-order mode Multimode—0.5 dBm 0.5 dBm

losses
Single-mode—None 0 dBm
Modal and chromatic Multimode—None, if the sum 0 dBm

dispersion of bandwidth and distance is
less than 500 MHz/km
Single-mode—None 0 dBm
Connector 0.5 dBm This example assumes five connectors. Loss for
five connectors: 5 (0.5 dBm) = 2.5 dBm.
Splice 0.5 dBm This example assumes two splices. Loss for two
splices: 2 (0.5 dBm) = 1 dBm.
Fiber attenuation Multimode—1 dBm/km This example assumes the link is 2 km long. Fiber
attenuation for 2 km: 2 km (1 dBm/km) = 2 dBm.
Single-mode—0.5 dBm/km This example assumes the link is 2 km long. Fiber

attenuation for 2 km: 2 km (0.5 dBm/km) = 1 dBm.
Clock Recovery Module 1 dBm 1 dBm

(CRM)
NOTE: For information about the actual amount of signal loss caused by equipment and other
factors, see your vendor documentation for that equipment.
2. Calculate the (PM) by subtracting (LL) from (PB):

PB– LL = PM
13 dBm – 0.5 dBm [HOL] – 5 x (0.5 dBm) – 2 (0.5 dBm) – 2 km (1.0 dBm/km) – 1 dB [CRM] = PM
112
13 dB m – 0.5 dBm – 2.5 dBm – 1 dBm – 2 dBm – 1 dBm = PM
PM = 6 dBm
The calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient power for
transmission. Also, the power margin value does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.
Refer to the specifications for your receiver to find the maximum receiver input power.

To ensure proper operation and to meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements,
you must connect the switch to earth ground before you connect power to the switch. You must install
the switch in a restricted-access location and ensure that the chassis is properly grounded at all times.
QFX5120-32C switches have two 1-hole protective earthing terminals on the rear panel. The required
method to ground the QFX5120-32C chassis is to use one of the protective earthing terminals on the
switch chassis. Under all circumstances, use this grounding connection to ground the chassis. For AC-
powered systems, you must also use the grounding wire in the AC power cord along with the two-hole
166
grounding lug connection. This tested system meets or exceeds all applicable EMC regulatory
requirements with the two-hole protective grounding terminal.
QFX5120-48T and QFX5120-48Y switches have one 2-hole protective earthing terminal on the left
panel. The required method to ground the QFX5120-48T and QFX5120-48Y chassis is to use the
protective earthing terminal on the switch chassis. Under all circumstances, use this grounding
connection to ground the chassis. For AC-powered systems, you must also use the grounding wire in the

Connect Power to an AC-Powered QFX5120 Switch
Before you connect AC power to the switch:
• Ensure that you have a power cord appropriate for your geographical location available.
• Ensure that you have the power cord retainer shipped with the switch.
• Ensure that you have connected the switch chassis to earth ground.
CAUTION: Before you connect power to the switch, a licensed electrician must attach
a cable lug to the grounding and power cables that you supply. A cable with an
incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch (for example, by causing a short
circuit).
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure
proper operation, you must connect the chassis to earth ground before you connect it
to power (see "Connect the QFX5120 Switch to Earth Ground" on page 165). For
installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the
protective earthing terminal on the switch chassis to connect to earth ground. The
switch gains additional grounding when you plug the power supply in the switch into a
grounded AC power outlet by using the AC power cord appropriate for your
geographical location.
We ship the QFX5120 switches with two power supplies preinstalled. 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 remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch
functions.

We ship the QFX5120 switches with two power supplies preinstalled. 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 power supplies in the slots next to the fan modules without powering off the
switch or disrupting switch functions.
NOTE: The battery returns of the DC power supply must be connected as an isolated DC return
(DC-I).
To connect power to a DC-powered QFX5120-32C switch:
2. Ensure that the input circuit breaker is open so that the voltage across the DC power source cable
leads is 0 V and that the cable leads do not become active while you are connecting DC power.
4. Connect each power supply to the power source by inserting the DC connector of the power cable
provided into the power supply (see Figure 133 on page 174).
Figure 133: Connect Power to a DC-Powered QFX5120-32C Switch
5. Connect each power cable to the power sources. Secure power source cables to the power supplies
by screwing the ring lugs attached to the cables to the appropriate terminals.
• Connect the ring lug of the green-yellow cable to earth ground.
• Connect the ring lug of the black cable to the negative (–) DC power source.
175
• Connect the ring lug of the red cable to the positive (+) DC power source.
We’ve designed the QFX5120-32C switch to operate with a DC power supply that has a single,
nonredundant feed input. For source redundancy, you must install two DC power supplies in the
QFX5120-32C; connect source (A) to one power supply and connect source (B) to the second power
supply. This configuration provides the commonly deployed A/B feed redundancy for the system.
CAUTION: The connection between each power source and power supply must
include a circuit breaker. Do not connect two sources to a single power supply because
doing so can potentially cause circulating current in feed wires whenever there is any
difference in the voltage of the two sources.
6. Close the input circuit breaker.
7. Verify that the LED on the power supply is lit green. If the LED is lit or blinking red, disconnect the
power supply from the power source, and replace the power supply (see "Remove a Power Supply
from a QFX5120 Switch" on page 205).
supply ready: you must install the replacement power supply within one minute after
removing the failed power supply to ensure proper airflow and prevent chassis
overheating.
To connect power to a DC-powered QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, or QFX5120-48YM switch:
2. Verify that the DC power cables are correctly labeled before making connections to the power
supply. In a typical power distribution scheme where the return is connected to chassis ground at
the battery plant, you can use a multimeter to verify the resistance of the –48V and RTN DC cables
to chassis ground:
• The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground is positive (+)
and will be installed on the V+ (return) DC power input terminal.
• The cable with very high resistance (indicating an open circuit) to chassis ground is negative (–)
and will be installed on the V– (input) DC power input terminal.
176
CAUTION: You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper polarity.
The power source cables might be labeled (+) and (–) to indicate their polarity.
There is no standard coding for DC power cables. The coding used by the external
DC power source at your site determines the coding for the leads on the power
cables that attach to the DC power input terminals on each power supply.
3. Install heat-shrink tubing insulation around the power cables.
To install heat-shrink tubing:
a. Slide the tubing over the portion of the cable where it is attached to the lug barrel. Ensure that
tubing covers the end of the wire and the barrel of the lug attached to it.
b. Shrink the tubing with a heat gun. Ensure that you heat all sides of the tubing evenly so that it
shrinks around the cable tightly.
Figure 134 on page 176 shows the steps to install heat-shrink tubing.
NOTE: Do not overheat the tubing.
Figure 134: How to Install Heat-Shrink Tubing

177
4. Ensure that the input circuit breaker is open so that the voltage across the DC power source cable
leads is 0 V and that the cable leads do not become active while you are connecting DC power.
NOTE: The V+ terminals are referred to as +RTN, and the V– terminals are referred to as –
48 V in DC Power Wiring Sequence Warning and DC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines.
6. Remove the terminal block cover. The terminal block cover is a piece of clear plastic that snaps into
place over the terminal block.
7. Remove the screws on the terminals using the screwdriver. Save the screws.
WARNING: Ensure that the power cables do not block access to device
components or drape where people can trip on them.
8. Connect each power supply to the power sources. Secure power source cables to the power
supplies by screwing the ring lugs attached to the cables to the appropriate terminals by using the
screw from the terminals (see Figure 135 on page 178).
We’ve designed the QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, and QFX5120-48YM switches to operate with
a DC power supply that has a single, nonredundant, feed input. For source redundancy, you must
install two DC power supplies in the QFX5120-48T, QFX5120-48Y, and QFX5120-48YM switches;
and then connect source (A) to one power supply and connect source (B) to the second power
supply. This configuration provides the commonly deployed A/B feed redundancy for the system.
The terminal block of the power supply has four terminals labeled V+, V+, V–, and V– for
connecting DC power source cables labeled positive (+) and negative (–). The V+ terminals are
shunted internally together, as are the V– terminals.
CAUTION: The connection between each power source and power supply must
include a circuit breaker.
Do not connect two sources to a single power supply because doing so can
potentially cause circulating current in feed wires whenever there is any difference
in the voltage of the two sources.
a. Secure the ring lug of the positive (+) DC power source cable to the V+ terminal on the DC
power supply.
178
b. Secure the ring lug of the negative (–) DC power source cable to the V– terminal on the DC
power supply.
c. Tighten the screws on the power supply terminals until snug using the screwdriver. Do not
overtighten; apply between 5 lb-in. (0.56 Nm) and 6 lb-in. (0.68 Nm) of torque on the screws.
CAUTION: The V+ terminals are shunted internally together, as are the V-

terminals. The same polarity terminal can be wired together from the same source
to provide an additional current path in a higher power chassis. Do not connect the
terminals to different sources.

of the strap to the ESD point on the switch.
2. Remove the transceiver from its bag.
3. Check to see whether the transceiver is covered with a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the
transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
LASER WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when

inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and protects
your eyes from accidental exposure to laser light.
4. If the port in which you want to install the transceiver is covered with a dust cover, remove the dust
cover and save it in case you need to cover the port later. If you are hot-swapping a transceiver, wait
for at least 10 seconds after removing the transceiver from the port before installing a new
transceiver.
5. Using both hands, carefully place the transceiver in the empty port. The connectors must face the
chassis.
183
CAUTION: Before you slide the transceiver into the port, ensure that the transceiver is
aligned correctly. Misalignment might cause the pins to bend, making the transceiver
unusable.
6. Slide the transceiver in gently until it is fully seated. If you are installing a CFP transceiver, use your
fingers to tighten the captive screws on the transceiver.
7. Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and the end of the cable, and insert the cable into
the transceiver.
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or

removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and protects your eyes from
accidental exposure to laser light.
8. If there is a cable management system, arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent
the cable from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it does not support its
own weight as it hangs toward the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in
the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.
CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.
CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that
are difficult to diagnose.
NOTE: When you install SFP-DD transceivers, push it hard until you hear a click sound. Use a
long nose plier to pull the SFP-DD transceiver connected on the top and bottom rows of the
chassis where the pull tabs face each other.

Connect a Fiber-Optic Cable
Before you connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a device, ensure that you
have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see Laser and LED Safety Guidelines
and Warnings).
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a device:
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to
1. If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered with a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
2. Remove the rubber safety cap from the optical transceiver. Save the cap.
3. Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver (see Figure 165 on page 222).

4. Secure the cables so that they do not support their own weight. Place excess cable out of the way in
a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain their shape.
Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened
loops of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the fastening point.

Before you disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver, ensure that you have taken the
necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers. See Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings.
• A rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver
• A rubber safety cap to cover the fiber-optic cable connector
Juniper Networks devices have optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber-optic cables.
To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in the device:
1. Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by issuing the following command:
[edit interfaces]
user@device# set interface-name disable
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to
2. Carefully unplug the fiber-optic cable connector from the transceiver.

3. Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.

4. Cover the fiber-optic cable connector with the rubber safety cap.
How to Handle Fiber-Optic Cables
Fiber-optic cables connect to optical transceivers that are installed in Juniper Networks devices.
Follow these guidelines when handling fiber-optic cables:

224
• When you unplug a fiber-optic cable from a transceiver, place rubber safety caps over the transceiver
and on the end of the cable.
• Anchor fiber-optic cables to prevent stress on the connectors. When attaching a fiber-optic cable to
a transceiver, be sure to secure the fiber-optic cable so that it does not support its own weight as it
hangs to the floor. Never let a fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector.
• Avoid bending fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending fiber-optic cables into
arcs smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that are
difficult to diagnose.
• Frequent plugging and unplugging of fiber-optic cables in and out of optical instruments can damage
the instruments, which are expensive to repair. To prevent damage from overuse, attach a short fiber
extension to the optical equipment. The short fiber extension absorbs wear and tear due to frequent
plugging and unplugging, which is easier and less expensive to replace than the instruments.
• Keep fiber-optic cable connections clean. Microdeposits of oil and dust in the canal of the transceiver
or cable connector can cause loss of light, reduction in signal power, and possibly intermittent
problems with the optical connection.
• To clean the transceiver canal, use an appropriate fiber-cleaning device such as RIFOCS Fiber
Optic Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the instructions in the cleaning kit you
use.
• After cleaning the transceiver, make sure that the connector tip of the fiber-optic cable is clean.
Use only an approved alcohol-free fiber-optic cable cleaning kit such as the Opptex Cletop-
S®Fiber Cleaner. Follow the instructions in the cleaning kit you use.

227
Table 61: Alarm Terms and Definitions (Continued)
Term Definition
Alarm severity levels Seriousness of the alarm. The level of severity can be either major (red) or
minor (yellow).
• Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the device that has

resulted from one of the following conditions. A red alarm condition
requires immediate action.
• One or more hardware components have failed.
• One or more hardware components have exceeded temperature

thresholds.
• An alarm condition configured on an interface has triggered a

critical warning.
• Minor (yellow or amber)—Indicates a noncritical condition on the

device that, if left unchecked, might cause an interruption in service or
a degradation in performance. A yellow alarm condition requires
monitoring or maintenance. For example, a missing rescue
configuration generates a yellow system alarm.
Alarm types Alarms include the following types:
• Chassis alarm—Predefined alarm triggered by a physical condition on

the device such as a power supply failure or excessive component
temperature.
• Interface alarm—Alarm that you configure to alert you when an

interface link is down. Applies to ethernet, fibre-channel, and
management-ethernet interfaces. You can configure a red (major) or
yellow (minor) alarm for the link-down condition, or have the
condition ignored.
• System alarm—Predefined alarm that might be triggered by a missing

rescue configuration, failure to install a license for a licensed software
feature, or high disk usage.

1-408-745-9500 (from outside the
United States).
Creating an Emergency Boot Device for QFX Series Switches
Before you begin, you need to download the installation media image for your device and Junos OS
release from https://www.juniper.net/customers/support/ .
If Junos OS on the device is damaged in some way that prevents the software from loading properly, you
can use an emergency boot device to repartition the primary disk and load a fresh installation of
Junos OS. Use the following procedure to create an emergency boot device.
NOTE: You can create the emergency boot device on another Juniper Networks device, or any
laptop or desktop PC that supports Linux. The steps you take to create the emergency boot
device vary, depending on the device.
To create an emergency boot device:

233
1. Use FTP to copy the installation media image into the /var/tmp directory on the device.
2. Insert a USB storage device into the USB port.
3. From the CLI, start the shell:
user@device> start shell

%
4. Use the gunzip command to unzip the image file.

5. Switch to the root account using the su command:
% su
Password: password
NOTE: The password is the root password for the device. If you logged in to the device as the
root user, you do not need to perform this step.
6. Enter the following command on the device:
root@device% dd if=/var/tmp/filename of=/dev/da0 bs=1m
The device writes the installation media image to the USB storage device:
root@device% dd if=install-media-qfx-5e-15.1X53-D30.5-domestic.img of=/dev/da0 bs=1m

234
Recovering the Installation Using an Emergency Boot Device on QFX

Series Switches
If Junos OS on your device is damaged in some way that prevents the software from loading correctly,
you may need to perform a recovery installation using an emergency boot device (for example, a USB
flash drive) to restore the default factory installation. Once you have recovered the software, you need
to restore the device configuration. You can either create a new configuration as you did when the
device was shipped from the factory, or if you saved the previous configuration, you can simply restore
that file to the device.
If at all possible, you should try to perform the following steps before you perform the recovery
installation:
1. Ensure that you have an emergency boot device to use during the installation. See Creating an
Emergency Boot Device for QFX Series Switches for information on how to create an emergency
boot device.
2. Copy the existing configuration in the file /config/juniper.conf.gz from the device to a remote
system, such as a server, or to an emergency boot device. For extra safety, you can also copy the
backup configurations (the files named /config/juniper.conf.n, where n is a number from 0 through 9)
to a remote system or to an emergency boot device.
You can use the system snapshot feature to complete this step. The system snapshot feature takes a
“snapshot” of the files currently used to run the QFX Series switch—the complete contents of the /
config and /var directories, which include the running Junos OS, the active configuration, and the
rescue configuration—and copies all of these files into a memory source. See Creating a Snapshot and
Using It to Boot a QFX Series Switch.
NOTE: System snapshot is not supported on QFX10000 and QFX5200 switches.
CAUTION: The recovery installation process completely overwrites the entire contents
of the internal flash storage.
3. Copy any other stored files to a remote system as desired.
To reinstall Junos OS:
1. Connect to the device's console port (either directly or through a console server).
2. Insert the emergency boot device into the QFX Series switch.
235
3. Reboot or power cycle the device.
4. As soon as the device reboots, keep pressing Esc until the boot options menu opens.

The Juniper Linux Installer or GNU GRUB menu opens. The menu and options may differ slightly
depending on the platform and release.
7. If you have Junos OS software from the factory installed on the emergency boot device, the
software prompts you with the following options:
Juniper Linux Installer - (c) Juniper Networks 2014

Reboot
Install Juniper Linux Platform
Boot to host shell [debug]
Select Install Juniper Linux Platform to install the Junos OS software from the emergency boot
device.
NOTE: Depending on the platform and release, you may see different entries such as Install
Juniper Linux, Install Juniper Linux Platform, or Install Juniper Linux with secure boot
support.
8. The device copies the software from the emergency boot device, occasionally displaying status
messages. Copying the software can take up to 12 minutes.
9. After the software is copied to the device, the device reboots from the internal flash storage on
which the software was just installed.
NOTE: If the Boot Manager menu includes both SSD drive and EFI HDD Device entries,
manually select the EFI HDD Device option.
When the reboot is complete, the device displays the Junos OS login prompt:
root@switch#
10. Create a new configuration as you did when the device was shipped from the factory, or restore the
previously saved configuration file to the device.
11. Remove the emergency boot device.

Fire Safety Requirements
IN THIS SECTION
Fire Suppression | 259
Fire Suppression Equipment | 259
In the event of a fire emergency, the safety of people is the primary concern. You should establish
procedures for protecting people in the event of a fire emergency, provide safety training, and properly
provision fire-control equipment and fire extinguishers.
In addition, you should establish procedures to protect your equipment in the event of a fire emergency.
Juniper Networks products should be installed in an environment suitable for electronic equipment. We
recommend that fire suppression equipment be available in the event of a fire in the vicinity of the
equipment and that all local fire, safety, and electrical codes and ordinances be observed when you
install and operate your equipment.
Fire Suppression
In the event of an electrical hazard or an electrical fire, you should first turn power off to the equipment
at the source. Then use a Type C fire extinguisher, which uses noncorrosive fire retardants, to extinguish
the fire.
Fire Suppression Equipment
Type C fire extinguishers, which use noncorrosive fire retardants such as carbon dioxide and Halotron™,
are most effective for suppressing electrical fires. Type C fire extinguishers displace oxygen from the
point of combustion to eliminate the fire. For extinguishing fire on or around equipment that draws air
from the environment for cooling, you should use this type of inert oxygen displacement extinguisher
instead of an extinguisher that leaves residues on equipment.
Do not use multipurpose Type ABC chemical fire extinguishers (dry chemical fire extinguishers). The
primary ingredient in these fire extinguishers is monoammonium phosphate, which is very sticky and
260
difficult to clean. In addition, in the presence of minute amounts of moisture, monoammonium

phosphate can become highly corrosive and corrodes most metals.
Any equipment in a room in which a chemical fire extinguisher has been discharged is subject to
premature failure and unreliable operation. The equipment is considered to be irreparably damaged.
NOTE: To keep warranties effective, do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to control a fire
at or near a Juniper Networks device. If a dry chemical fire extinguisher is used, the unit is no
longer eligible for coverage under a service agreement.
We recommend that you dispose of any irreparably damaged equipment in an environmentally

responsible manner.
Installation Instructions Warning
WARNING: Read the installation instructions before you connect the device to a power
source.
Waarschuwing Raadpleeg de installatie-aanwijzingen voordat u het systeem met de
voeding verbindt.

General Laser Safety Guidelines
When working around ports that support optical transceivers, observe the following safety guidelines to
prevent eye injury:
• Do not look into unterminated ports or at fibers that connect to unknown sources.
• Do not examine unterminated optical ports with optical instruments.
• Avoid direct exposure to the beam.
LASER WARNING: Unterminated optical connectors can emit invisible laser radiation.
The lens in the human eye focuses all the laser power on the retina, so focusing the
eye directly on a laser source—even a low-power laser—could permanently damage the
eye.
Avertissement Les connecteurs à fibre optique sans terminaison peuvent émettre un
rayonnement laser invisible. Le cristallin de l’œil humain faisant converger toute la
puissance du laser sur la rétine, toute focalisation directe de l’œil sur une source laser,
—même de faible puissance—, peut entraîner des lésions oculaires irréversibles.

Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Device components that are shipped in antistatic bags are sensitive to damage from static electricity.
Some components can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You can easily generate potentially
damaging static voltages whenever you handle plastic or foam packing material or if you move
components across plastic or carpets. Observe the following guidelines to minimize the potential for
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can cause intermittent or complete component failures:
• Always use an ESD wrist strap when you are handling components that are subject to ESD damage,
and make sure that it is in direct contact with your skin.
If a grounding strap is not available, hold the component in its antistatic bag (see Figure 183 on page
281) in one hand and touch the exposed, bare metal of the device with the other hand immediately
before inserting the component into the device.
WARNING: For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD grounding
strap. The measurement must be in the range 1 through 10 Mohms.
Avertissement Par mesure de sécurité, vérifiez régulièrement la résistance du bracelet
antistatique. Cette valeur doit être comprise entre 1 et 10 mégohms (Mohms).
• When handling any component that is subject to ESD damage and that is removed from the device,
make sure the equipment end of your ESD wrist strap is attached to the ESD point on the chassis.
If no grounding strap is available, touch the exposed, bare metal of the device to ground yourself
before handling the component.
• Avoid contact between the component that is subject to ESD damage and your clothing. ESD
voltages emitted from clothing can damage components.
• When removing or installing a component that is subject to ESD damage, always place it component-
side up on an antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in an antistatic bag (see Figure 183 on
page 281). If you are returning a component, place it in an antistatic bag before packing it.

DC Power Wiring Terminations Warning
WARNING: When stranded wiring is required, use approved wiring terminations, such
as closed-loop or spade-type with upturned lugs. These terminations must be the
appropriate size for the wires and must clamp both the insulation and conductor.
Waarschuwing Wanneer geslagen bedrading vereist is, dient u bedrading te gebruiken
die voorzien is van goedgekeurde aansluitingspunten, zoals het gesloten-lus type of het
grijperschop type waarbij de aansluitpunten omhoog wijzen. Deze aansluitpunten
dienen de juiste maat voor de draden te hebben en dienen zowel de isolatie als de
geleider vast te klemmen.
Varoitus Jos säikeellinen johdin on tarpeen, käytä hyväksyttyä johdinliitäntää,

esimerkiksi suljettua silmukkaa tai kourumaista liitäntää, jossa on ylöspäin käännetyt
kiinnityskorvat. Tällaisten liitäntöjen tulee olla kooltaan johtimiin sopivia ja niiden tulee
puristaa yhteen sekä eristeen että johdinosan.
Avertissement Quand des fils torsadés sont nécessaires, utiliser des douilles terminales
homologuées telles que celles à circuit fermé ou du type à plage ouverte avec cosses
rebroussées. Ces douilles terminales doivent être de la taille qui convient aux fils et
doivent être refermées sur la gaine isolante et sur le conducteur.
Warnung Wenn Litzenverdrahtung erforderlich ist, sind zugelassene
