Remove a Transceiver
Before you remove a transceiver from a device, ensure that you have taken the necessary precauons
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 anstac bag or an anstac mat
• Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and ber-opc 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 them without powering o the device or disrupng device
funcons.
NOTE: Aer you remove a transceiver, or when you change the media-type conguraon, wait
for 6 seconds for the interface to display the operaonal commands.
Figure 86 on page 268 shows how to remove 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.
To remove a transceiver from a device:
1. Place the anstac bag or anstac 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.
