Installing an SRE Module in a J-EX8208 Switch
You can install either one or two Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) modules in a
J-EX8208 switch. The SRE modules install horizontally in the front of the chassis in the
slots labeled SRE0 and SRE1.
NOTE:
We recommend that you install two SRE modules for redundancy. If
you install only one SRE module, we recommend that you install it in the slot
SRE0.
CAUTION:
Do not lift the SRE module by holding the ejector levers. The levers
cannot support the weight of the module. Lifting the modules by the levers
might bend the levers, and the bent levers will prevent the SRE module from
being properly seated in the chassis.
Before you begin installing an SRE module in a J-EX8208 switch:
•
Ensure you understand how to prevent ESD damage. See “Prevention of Electrostatic
Discharge Damage on J-EX Series Switches” on page 236.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install an SRE module:
•
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
•
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
To install an SRE module in a J-EX8208 switch (see Figure 56 on page 119):
1.
Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and
connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2.
Taking care not to touch the leads, pins, or solder connections, pull the SRE module
out from the bag.
3.
Pull both the ejector levers outward, away from the faceplate of the SRE module,
until they go no further.
4.
If the slot has a cover panel on it, unscrew the two screws on either side of the cover
panel counterclockwise using the Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2. Remove the
cover panel. Save the cover panel for later use.
5.
Carefully align the sides of the SRE module with the guides inside the chassis.
6.
Ensuring that the SRE module is correctly aligned, carefully slide it into the chassis
until you feel resistance.
7.
Push both the ejector levers towards the faceplate of the SRE module until the levers
are flush against the faceplate and are fully engaged.
