Powering Off a QFX5200

date_range 21-Apr-21

Before you remove the power cord to power off a QFX5200:

Note:

Use the following procedure to turn off power on a QFX5200 standalone switch.

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to power off the switch:

  • An ESD grounding strap

  • An external management device such as a PC

  • An RJ-45 to DB-9 rollover cable to connect the external management device to the console port

To power off a QFX5200 switch:

  1. Connect to the switch using one of the following methods:
  2. Shut down Junos OS from the external management device.

    For Junos OS Evolved systems:

    1. Issue the request system shutdown power-off operational mode CLI command. This command shuts down the switch gracefully and preserves system state information. A message appears on the console, confirming that the operating system has halted.

      On Junos OS Evolved systems, you see the following output:

      content_copy zoom_out_map
      user@host>request system shutdown power-off
      Power off the system ? [yes,no] (n) yes
      
      poweroff the system at Tue Sep 18 11:15:27 2018

    For standard Junos OS systems:

    1. Issue the request system halt operational mode CLI command. This command shuts down the switch gracefully and preserves system state information. A message appears on the console, confirming that the operating system has halted.

      You see the following output (or something similar, depending on the hardware being shut down) after entering the command:

      content_copy zoom_out_map

    CAUTION:

    Wait at least 60 seconds after first seeing the final message before following the instructions in Step 4 and Step 5 to power off the switch.

  3. Attach the grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
  4. Disconnect power to the switch by performing one of the following tasks:
    • AC power supply—If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the OFF (O) position. If the AC power source outlet does not have a power switch, gently pull out the plug end of the power cord connected to the power source outlet.

    • DC power supply—Switch the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit to the OFF position.

  5. Remove the power source cable from the power supply faceplate:
    • AC power supply—Remove the power cord from the power supply faceplate by detaching the power cord retainer and gently pulling out the socket end of the power cord connected to the power supply faceplate.

    • DC power supply—Remove the screws securing the ring lugs attached to the power source cables to the power supply using the screwdriver, and remove the power source cables from the power supply. Replace the screws on the terminals and tighten them.

  6. Uncable the switch before removing it from the rack or cabinet.
