WARNING: Donot leave a fiber-optic transceiveruncovered except when inserting or
removinga cable. The rubber safetycap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposureto laser light.
4. Coverthe fiber-optic cable connectorwith the rubber safety cap.

Removinga Transceiver from an EX Series Switch
Thetransceivers for EX Series switchesare hot-removable and hot-insertable
field-replaceableunits (FRUs): Youcan remove and replace them without poweringoff
theswitch or disrupting switch functions.
Beforeyou begin removing a transceiverfrom an EX Series switch, ensure that you have
takenthe necessary precautions for safehandling of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety
Guidelinesand Warnings for EX Series Switches”on page 269).
Ensurethat you have the following partsand tools available:
•Anantistatic bag or an antistatic mat
•Needlenosepliers
•Rubbersafety caps to coverthe transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector
•Adust cover to cover the port
Figure91 on page223 shows how to remove an SFP transceiver.The procedureis the same
forall transceiver types.
Toremovea transceiver from an EX Series switch:
1. Placethe antistatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat,stable surface.
2. Labelthe cable connected to the transceiverso that you can reconnect it correctly.
WARNING: Donot look directly into a fiber-optic transceiveror into the ends of
fiber-opticcables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cablesconnected to
transceiversemit laser light that can damageyour eyes.
