Install the EX4000 Switch
This topic guides you through the steps to install EX4000 switches.
Unpack the EX4000 Switch
Juniper Networks ships EX4000 switches in a cardboard carton, secured with foam packing material. The carton has an accessory compartment.
The shipping carton completely protects EX4000 switches. Leave the switches safely in the carton until you are ready to begin installation.
To unpack the switch:
- Move the shipping carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible, but where you have enough room to remove the system components.
- Position the carton so that the arrows are pointing up.
- Open the top flaps on the shipping carton.
- Pull out the packing material holding the switch in place.
- Verify the parts received against the inventory on the label attached to the carton (see Packing List for an EX4000 Switch).
- Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the switch later.
Packing List for an EX4000 Switch
The switch shipment includes a packing list. Check the parts you receive with the switch against the items on the packing list. The packing list specifies the part number and provides a description of each part in your order. The parts shipped match the switch model you ordered (see EX4000 Models and Specifications).
If any part on the packing list is missing, contact your customer service representative or contact Juniper customer care from within the U.S. or Canada by telephone at 1-888-314-5822. For international-dial or direct-dial options in countries without toll-free numbers, see https://www.juniper.net/support/requesting-support.html.
See:

Update Base Installation Data
Update the installation base data if any addition or change to the installation base occurs or if the installation base is moved. Juniper Networks is not responsible for not meeting the hardware replacement SLA for products that do not have accurate installation base data.

Mount an EX4000 Switch on Two Posts in a Rack or Cabinet (all 12-port, 24-port and 48-port EX4000 Switches)
Before mounting the switch on two posts in a rack:
Verify that the site meets the requirements described in Environmental Requirements and Specifications for EX4000 Switches.
Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance, and secure it to the building structure.
Read General Safety Guidelines and Warnings, with particular attention to Chassis and Component Lifting Guidelines.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 (not provided).
Screws to secure the chassis to the rack (not provided).
Do not block the vents on the top cover of the 12 port switches in any of the mounting conditions to prevent overheating of the switch chassis.
Ensure 2 rack unit clearance on the top side for airflow/cooling.
You can mount an EX4000-12MP, EX4000-24MP, or EX4000-48MP switch on two posts of a 19-in. rack or cabinet by using the front mounting brackets provided with the switch. (The remainder of this topic uses rack to mean rack or cabinet.) Two-post rack mounting is the default mounting option for the EX4000-24MP and EX4000-48MP switches.
One person must be available to lift the switch while another secures the switch to the rack.
If you are mounting multiple units on a rack, mount the heaviest unit at the bottom of the rack and mount the other units from the bottom of the rack to the top in decreasing order of the weight of the units.
To mount the switch on two posts in a rack:
- Attach the mounting brackets using the four M4 screws. Use Phillips(+)
screwdriver, number 2. Apply 9.11 lb-In (pounds per inch) of torque to the
screws. Figure 1: Attach the mounting brackets to 12-port switches
Figure 2: Attach the mounting brackets to the 24-port or 48-port EX4000 switches
- Lift the switch and position it in the rack. Because the fans are inbuilt
with AFO (Air Flow Out) front-to-back direction, position the switch so that
the rear of the switch is facing the hot aisle and the front of the switch
is facing the cold aisle. Line up the bottom hole in each mounting bracket
with a hole in each rack post, ensuring that the switch is level. Figure 3: Position the switch in the rack - 12-port switches
Figure 4: Position the switch in the rack - 24-port and 48-port switches
- While you’re holding the switch in place, have a second person insert and
tighten the rack mount screws to secure the mounting brackets to the rack
posts. Tighten the screws in the two bottom holes first, and then tighten
the screws in the two top holes. Check that the mounting brackets on each
side of the rack are lined up with each other. Figure 5: Attach the switch to the rack - 12-port switches
Figure 6: Attach the switch to the rack - 24-port or 48-port switches
Mounting an EX4000 Switch on a Desk (all 12-port Switches)
You can mount an EX4000 switch on a desk or other level surface. The surface should be flat or level and shall not be an inclined surface or area.
Allow sufficient space of 6 inches all around the switch for cooling. Insufficient space can lead to overheating of the switch chassis.
Do not block the vents on top of the switch to prevent the switch chassis from overheating.
Ensure that the desktop or any other level surface is stable and securely supported.
To mount a switch on a desk or other level surface:
- Place the switch on the desk or the level surface.
- Ensure that the switch rests firmly on the desk or level surface.
Attaching the Cable Guard to Protect Cable Connections
You can optionally attach cable guard to the chassis to protect cable connections.
