Use only optical transceivers and optical connectors purchased from Dell for your J-EX Series switch. Before you begin installing a transceiver in a J-EX Series switch, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see "Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for J-EX Series Switches" on page 213). Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver. Figure 61 on page 126 shows how to install an SFP transceiver. The procedure is the same for all transceiver types. To install a transceiver in a J-EX Series switch: CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic 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. 125
