Removing a Transceiver from a QFX Series Device
The transceivers for the QFX Series are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs).
You can remove and replace them without powering off the device or disrupting device functions.
Before you begin removing a transceiver from the QFX Series, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions for safe handling of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for the QFX
Series” on page 212).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
Electrostatic bag or an antistatic mat
•
Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector
•
Dust cover to cover the port
To remove a transceiver from the QFX Series:
1. Place the antistatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
2. Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect it correctly.
