Install a Transceiver
Before you install a transceiver in a device, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for
safe handling of lasers (see
Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings
).
Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.
The transceivers for Juniper Networks devices are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable
units (FRUs). You can remove and replace them without powering off the device or disrupting the device
functions.
NOTE: After you insert a transceiver or after you change the media-type configuration, wait for
6 seconds for the interface to display operational commands.
NOTE: We recommend that you use only optical transceivers and optical connectors purchased
from Juniper Networks with your Juniper Networks device.
CAUTION: The Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) provides
complete support for Juniper-supplied optical modules and cables. However, JTAC does
not provide support for third-party optical modules and cables that are not qualified or
supplied by Juniper Networks. If you face a problem running a Juniper device that uses
third-party optical modules or cables, JTAC may help you diagnose host-related issues if
the observed issue is not, in the opinion of JTAC, related to the use of the third-party
optical modules or cables. Your JTAC engineer will likely request that you check the
third-party optical module or cable and, if required, replace it with an equivalent
Juniper-qualified component.
Use of third-party optical modules with high-power consumption (for example,
coherent ZR or ZR+) can potentially cause thermal damage to or reduce the lifespan of
the host equipment. Any damage to the host equipment due to the use of third-party
optical modules or cables is the users’ responsibility. Juniper Networks will accept no
liability for any damage caused due to such use.
shows how to install a QSFP+ transceiver. The procedure is the same for all types
of transceivers except the QSFP28 and CFP transceivers. Note that this procedure is the same for SFP+
and SFP28 transceivers which will be used in EX4100.
