Juniper Networks EX2200 manual Installing a Transceiver in an EX Series Switch

Complete Hardware Guide for EX2200 Ethernet Switches

WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.

3.If the port in which you want to install the transceiver is covered with a dust cover, remove the dust cover and save it in case you need to cover the port later. If you are hot-swapping a transceiver, wait for at least 10 seconds after removing the transceiver from the port before installing a transceiver.

4.Using both hands, carefully place the transceiver in the empty port. The connectors must face the switch chassis.

CAUTION: Before you slide the transceiver into the port, ensure the transceiver is aligned correctly. Misalignment might cause the pins to bend, making the transceiver unusable.

5.Slide the transceiver in gently until it is fully seated.

6.Remove the rubber safety cap when you are ready to connect the cable to the transceiver.

WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
