[RANT] Juniper QFX5100 Switches

Hey these are nice switches to use, the os is cool, lots of ports lots of speed

BUT HOLY SMOKE did they go super super super cheap on the fixings (rails/screws/etc)

start with the screws, the smallest things in the world they could possible get away with.
16 screw holes on the switch its self to attach the rail on with, but you only get 8 screws in total
6 (with even smaller screws) screw holes to attach the backet to the rail, but 3 of the 4 switches only came with 4 screws not 6, 2 of the screws shredded them selves as soon as i tightened them slightly

next the rails, these are the softest flimsiest things ive ever seen in my life, bent 2 of them just sliding the switch into the rack (was a slightly awkward position at the top of a 42u rack, but still) even though I was doing it slowly.

grrr shakes fist
