Re: [j-nsp] Mounting a QFX5100 or ACX5048 on 2 Post Rack
For my EX4600s i used: https://www.racksolutions.com/2post-center-mount-brackets.html Which I found to be very sturdy and good for multiple RUs of equipment.

Yes, I have these kits in production, without the back cable mgmt rail. Work just fine. They are beefier than the pictures depict.

Re: [j-nsp] Mounting a QFX5100 or ACX5048 on 2 Post Rack
I'm using just the front part, center mounted. Works fine and is much stronger than the flimsy back part.

Re: [j-nsp] Mounting a QFX5100 or ACX5048 on 2 Post Rack
Tim, Have you used this 2 post rack rails with the QFX5100? It looks like this rail kit has a back plate, does the power cables fit through those holes? This QFX5100 is long.

Re: [j-nsp] Mounting a QFX5100 or ACX5048 on 2 Post Rack
Chuck, We put them in the center, and even cut them, but overall the 4 post rack brackets that come with the QFX5100 are flimsy as hell.

Chris, So the EX4200 rack ears fit on the QFX5100? On Wed, Aug 1, 2018 at 8:19 PM, Chris Wopat wrote: > We still use EX4200 rack ears and center mount them. Holes line up, works > fine.

Re: [j-nsp] Mounting a QFX5100 or ACX5048 on 2 Post Rack
We still use EX4200 rack ears and center mount them. Holes line up, works fine. I believe it's "EX-RMK". It's more problematic to flush mount it as one always needs some support on the rear- usually a small shelf on the back side, like the small shelf used to mount an MX480. ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
Re: [j-nsp] Mounting a QFX5100 or ACX5048 on 2 Post Rack
Just put the rack brackets back towards the middle of the sides so the switch is hangs further forward. The weight is more balanced and it works fine.

[j-nsp] Mounting a QFX5100 or ACX5048 on 2 Post Rack
We are constantly having to mount these larger switches to two post racks. To my knowledge Juniper does not make 2 post mounting brackets for these switches. Does anyone have any recommendations on a shelf or something to hold these up? We are dealing with 19 and 23 inch racks. ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
