Installing a Transceiverin an EX Series Switch
Thetransceivers for EX Series switches are hot-removableand hot-insertable
field-replaceableunits (FRUs): Youcan remove and replace them without powering off
theswitch or disrupting switch functions.
Useonly optical transceivers and optical connectors purchasedfrom Juniper Networks
foryour EX Series switch.
NOTE: Onan EX3200 switch, if you install a transceiver in a 1-gigabit uplink
moduleport, a corresponding network port from the last four built-in ports
isdisabled. For example, if you install a transceiver in the 1-gigabituplink
moduleport 2 (ge-0/1/3), then built-in port 23 (ge-0/0/23) is disabled. The
disabledport is not listed in the output of show interface commands.
Beforeyou begin installing a transceiver in an EX Series switch, ensure thatyou have
takenthe necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers(see “Laser and LED Safety
Guidelinesand Warnings for EX Series Switches” on page 121).
Ensurethat you have a rubber safety cap availableto cover the transceiver.
Figure24 on page 66 shows how to installan SFP transceiver. The procedureis the same
forall transceiver types.
Toinstall a transceiver in an EX Series switch:
CAUTION: Toavoidelectrostaticdischarge (ESD) damage to the transceiver,
donot touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.
1. Removethe transceiver from its bag.
2. Checkto see whether the transceiver is covered by a rubber safetycap. If it is not,
coverthe transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
