Installing a Transceiver in a J-EX Series Switch
The transceivers for J-EX Series switches are hot-removable and hot-insertable
field-replaceable units (FRUs): You can remove and replace them without powering off
the switch or disrupting switch functions.
Use only optical transceivers and optical connectors purchased from Dell for your J-EX
Series switch.
Before you begin installing a transceiver in a J-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 J-EX Series Switches” on page 207).
Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.
Figure 55 on page 127 shows how to install an SFP transceiver. The procedure is the same
for all transceiver types.
To install a transceiver in a J-EX Series switch:
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the transceiver,
do not touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.
1.
Remove the transceiver from its bag.
2.
Check to see whether the transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not,
cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
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.
3.
If the port in which you want to install the transceiver is covered with a dust cover,
remove the dust cover and save it in case you need to cover the port later. If you are
hot-swapping a transceiver, wait for at least 10 seconds after removing the transceiver
from the port before installing a transceiver.
4.
Using both hands, carefully place the transceiver in the empty port. The connectors
must face the switch chassis.
