date_range
09-Mar-21
The front panel is required on the QFX10008 and QFX10016 to protect fiber optic cabling and to provide additional protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI). The front panel can be installed with or without the optional cable management system.
Ensure you have the following tools and parts before you begin:
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
Front panel (provided with the switch chassis)
Right base bracket (provided)
Left base bracket (provided)
2 interchangeable latch brackets (provided)
8 Phillips flat-head mounting screws (provided)
To install the front panel:
- Use the Phillips screwdriver to attach two mounting screws
to the left base bracket at the bottom left side of the chassis frame.
The base brackets are larger than the latch brackets.Note:
The right and left base bracket cannot be interchanged (see Figure 1).
