Juniper Networks EX8208 manual Removing a Transceiver from an EX Series Switch

Chapter 13: Removing Switch Components

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.

CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.

3.Remove the cable connected to the transceiver (see “Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic Cable from an EX Series Switch” on page 221). 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.

5.Using the needlenose pliers, pull the ejector lever out from the transceiver.

6.Grasp the transceiver ejector lever and gently slide the transceiver approximately 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) straight out of the port.

CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the transceiver, do not touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.

7.Using your fingers, grasp the body of the transceiver and pull it straight out of the port.

8.Place the transceiver in the antistatic bag or on the antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface.

9.Place the dust cover over the empty port.
