NOTE: If you have a Juniper Care service contract, register any addion, change, or upgrade of
hardware components at hps://www.juniper.net/customers/support/tools/updateinstallbase/ .
Failure to do so can result in signicant delays if you need replacement parts. This note does not
apply if you replace exisng components with the same type of component.

Port Panel of an EX4600 Switch
The xed poron of the port panel of the EX4600-40F switch supports up to a maximum of 40 logical
10 GbE ports. Twenty-four physical ports (0 through 23) support 10 Gbps small form-factor pluggable
plus (SFP+) transceivers. These ports can be congured as access ports. See The Hardware Compability
Tool for a list of supported transceivers. All 24 of these ports can be used for SFP+ transceivers or SFP+
direct aach copper (DAC) cables. You can use 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ transceivers, 10-
Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ transceivers, and SFP+ direct aach copper cables in any access port.
The remaining 16 logical ports are available for four 40 GbE ports (24 through 27) that support up to
four quad small-form factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) transceivers. Each QSFP+ port can operate either as
a single 40 Gbps port or as a set of 4 independent 10 Gbps ports using QSFP+ breakout cables. The 40
GbE ports can be congured as either access ports or as uplinks. .
CAUTION: When you use the latest OEM part number FCLF8521P2BTL (printed on
the transceiver label), you can install 1GbE transceivers (such as QFX-SFP-1GE-T) in any
port with no restricons. The same applies for devices that support 10GbE copper
transceivers. However, if you are using the older OEM part number SP7041-M1-JN (not
shipped in last 3+ years) instead, do not install 1GbE copper transceivers (such as QFX-
SFP-1GE-T) directly above or below another 1GbE copper transceiver. Use only the top
row or boom row to avoid damage to the device caused when the transceivers are
installed above or below each other.
