Complete Hardware Guide for EX3200 and EX4200 Ethernet Switches
Before you begin removing a transceiver from an EX Series switch, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for EX Series Switches” on page 213).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
■An antistatic bag or an antistatic mat
■Needlenose pliers
■Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and
■A dust cover to cover the port
Figure 72 on page 179 shows how to remove an SFP transceiver. The procedure is the same for all transceiver types.

2.Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect it correctly.
WARNING: Do not look directly into a
WARNING: Do not leave a

3.Remove the cable connected to the transceiver (see “Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic Cable from an EX Series Switch” on page 179). Cover the transceiver and the end of each fiber-optic cable connector with a rubber safety cap immediately after disconnecting the fiber-optic cables.
4.Using your fingers, pull the ejector lever on the transceiver to unlock the transceiver.
CAUTION: Before removing the transceiver, make sure you open the ejector lever completely until you hear it click. This prevents damage to the transceiver.
