QFX5200 Installation Safety Guidelines
The weight of a fully -loaded QFX5200-32C and QFX5200-32C-L switch chassis is approximately 23.5 lb (10.66 kg); and a QFX5200-48Y weighs between 20.78 lbs (9.43 kg) to 21.16 (9.6 kg) with power supplies and fans installed. Observe the following guidelines for lifting and moving a QFX5200:
If you are installing the QFX5200 above 60 in. (152.4 cm) from the floor, either remove the power supplies, fan modules, and any expansion modules before attempting to install the switch, or ask someone to assist you during the installation.
Before installing a QFX5200, read the guidelines in QFX5200 Site Preparation Checklist to verify that the intended site meets the specified power, environmental, and clearance requirements.
Before lifting or moving the QFX5200, disconnect all external cables.
As when lifting any heavy object, lift most of the weight with your legs rather than your back. Keep your knees bent and your back relatively straight and avoid twisting your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure that your footing is solid.
