Maintaining QFX10000 Routing and Control Boards
Removing a QFX10000 Routing and Control Board
The QFX10000 line of modular chassis can have one or two Routing and Control Boards (RCBs), depending on the configuration. RCBs can be installed in either of the two top slots on the front of the chassis.
In redundant configurations, a QFX10000 RCB is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU). In base configurations, you need to install a second RCB before removing a failing RCB in order to prevent the switch from shutting down. We recommend that you take base systems offline before replacing the RCB.
Before you remove an RCB, ensure that you have an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap.
In base configurations, removal of the RCB causes the system to shut down. In redundant configurations, removal of the RCB causes the system to reboot and start the election process for a new primary.
To remove an RCB:
- Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and
connect the strap to the ESD point on the chassis (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).Figure 1: ESD Point on QFX10008 Chassis Front

Figure 2: ESD Point on QFX10016 Chassis Front
- Grasp the handles and slide the RCB about halfway out
of the chassis (see Figure 3).Figure 3: Removing an RCB

Figure 5: ESD Point for QFX10016 Chassis Front - Either remove the cover from the available RCB slot (see Figure 6) or remove the failing RCB (see Removing a QFX10000
Routing and Control Board).Figure 6: Removing a RCB Cover Panel
- Grasp both handles and rotate them simultaneously clockwise
until the RCB is fully seated and the handles are vertical (see Figure 7). Figure 7: RCB Installation
The RCB begins the power-on sequence when fully seated.
