Juniper MX10004 - Install a Transceiver in an MX10004 Line Card

The transceivers for the Juniper Networks MX10004 router 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.
To understand how to install or remove a transceiver of an MX10004 router, read the following secons.
Install a Transceiver in an MX10004 Line Card
Before you begin to install a transceiver in a Juniper Networks MX10004 line card, ensure that you have
taken the necessary precauons for safe handling of lasers (see "Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and
Warnings" on page 253).
Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.
To install a transceiver in an MX10004 line card:
CAUTION: To avoid electrostac 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.
LASER WARNING: Do not leave a ber-opc transceiver uncovered except when
inserng 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.
CAUTION: Before you slide the transceiver into the port, ensure that the transceiver is
aligned correctly. Misalignment might cause the pins to bend, making the transceiver
unusable. On MX10004 line cards, the ports are designed belly to belly, which requires
you to turn the transceiver over on the boom port row. See Figure 101 on page 207
and Figure 102 on page 207 for the correct orientaon for your device.
