JUNIPER EX4600-40F-DC-AFI EX4600 Series Ethernet Switches

EX4600-40F-DC-AFI Hardware Identity

EX4600-40F-DC-AFI is a Juniper EX4600 fixed-configuration Ethernet switch. Its verified hardware profile is 24 fixed SFP/SFP+ ports and four fixed QSFP+ ports; no copper PoE access ports. The complete code carries DC-powered order form, airflow-in order form. Preserve every suffix on the quote, carton and asset record.

Port and power boundary

two power supplies and five fans shipped by default for non-S model. The uplink configuration is two expansion bays for supported modules. Optics, optional uplink modules, cables and any separately ordered power or mounting items must be reconciled in the final bill of materials.

EX4600 architecture control

EX4600 acceptance should reflect a compact distribution or low-density data-center platform. Reconcile the 24 fixed SFP/SFP+ ports, four fixed QSFP+ ports, two expansion bays, both power supplies and all five fan modules. Decide whether the unit is standalone, an all-EX4600 Virtual Chassis member or part of a supported mixed design, and record the Junos-dependent role. Breakout and expansion counts are design results, not ports included automatically with the base chassis.

Order-form control 1

DC power acceptance requires two documented feed paths where redundancy is designed, correct protective devices, conductor sizing, polarity, grounding and terminal hardware. Measure input before connecting the switch, label each feed and test loss of the approved source. Do not install an AC supply or assume an AC cord is part of this order. Preserve the facility drawing and supply labels with the serial record.

Order-form control 2

AFI acceptance means air enters from the FRU side and exhausts through the port panel, also described as back-to-front airflow. Every installed fan and power supply must carry the matching AIR IN or AFI identity. Verify rack orientation and neighboring equipment before energizing, then record inlet temperature and photograph FRU labels. An AFO component is a blocked receiving exception.

SKU-specific acceptance

For the DC airflow-in variant, pair each power feed and fan label with the intended rack orientation in the commissioning record. Label positive and return conductors, protective device and feed ownership before connection. Verify AFI fan and supply labels, then measure inlet temperature on the FRU side under load. Simulate loss of the approved DC feed and confirm the switch remains within the intended redundancy design without reversing airflow.

Virtual Chassis

Document member role, Junos release, VCP media, topology and rollback. A VC order qualifier or physical VCP does not remove software and compatibility checks.

TAA control

Keep the complete TAA-qualified order code on the quote, invoice, carton and asset record. Validate procurement eligibility with the contracting authority rather than a shortened base model.

PoE firmware

For multigigabit PoE platforms, verify Junos and PoE controller firmware before enabling higher-power modes. Test representative endpoints and record negotiated class.

Install base

Register additions and FRU changes under the correct support record. Keep serial, site, power, airflow and module inventory synchronized with the operational asset system.

Optics bill

List each optic, cable type, reach, connector and peer interface. Chassis port count does not include the transceivers needed for an operational link.

Power design

Confirm AC or DC input, feed count, connector or cord, supply wattage and redundancy target. The exact chassis suffix must agree with the facility design.
