Installing a Transceiver in a QFX Series Device
The transceivers for the QFX Series are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs).
You can remove and replace them without powering off the device or disrupting device functions.
Before you begin installing a transceiver in a QFX Series device, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions for safe handling of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for the QFX
Series” on page 212 ).
Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.
To install a transceiver in the QFX Series:
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.
4. Using both hands, carefully place the transceiver in the empty port. The connectors must face the
device chassis.
