Installing a Line Card in an EX8200 Switch

EX8200 switches have field-replaceable unit (FRU) line cards that can be installed in the line card slots on the front of the switch chassis. The line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.

Before you begin installing a line card in the switch:

•Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage (see “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on EX Series Switches” on page 292).

•If there are any transceivers installed in the line card, remove them before you install the line card. For instructions on removing transceivers, see “Removing a Transceiver from an EX Series Switch” on page 222.
