Remove a Transceiver
Before you remove a transceiver from a device, ensure that you have taken the necessary precauons
for the safe handling of lasers (see
Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings
).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• An anstac bag or an anstac mat
• Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and ber-opc cable connector
• A dust cover to cover the port or a replacement transceiver
The transceivers for Juniper Networks devices are hot-removable and hot-insertable eld-replaceable
units (FRUs). You can remove and replace the transceivers without powering o the device or disrupng
device funcons.
NOTE: Aer you remove a transceiver, or when you change the media-type conguraon, wait
for 6 seconds for the interface to display the operaonal commands.
Figure 123 on page 214 shows how to remove a QSFP+ transceiver. The procedure is the same for all
types of transceivers except the QSFP28 and CFP transceivers.
To remove a transceiver from a device:
1. Place the anstac bag or anstac mat on a at, stable surface.
2. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD wrist strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end
of the strap to the ESD point on the switch.
3. Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect it correctly.
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a ber-opc transceiver or into the ends
of ber-opc cables. Fiber-opc transceivers and ber-opc cables connected to
transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
LASER WARNING: Do not leave a ber-opc transceiver uncovered except when
inserng or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and protects
your eyes from accidental exposure to laser light.
