See "Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on J-EX Series Switches" on page 236. • Ensure that you do not need to forward traffic through the switch. Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to power off the switch: • An electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap • An external management device such as a PC • A cable to connect the external management device to the console port (CON) or management port (MGMT) on the master Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) module in a J-EX8208 switch. To power off a switch: 1. Connect a management device to the master SRE module in a J-EX8208 switch. For connecting a management device to the console (CON) port, see "Connecting a J-EX Series Switch to a Management Console" on page 135. For connecting a management device to the management (MGMT) port, see "Connecting a J-EX Series Switch to a Network for Out-of-Band Management" on page 140. 2. If the switch has two SRE modules, shut down the backup SRE module first. (If your switch has only one SRE module, skip to Step 2.) From the external management PC connected to the master SRE module, issue the request system halt other-routing-engine operational mode CLI command. This command shuts down the backup SRE module gracefully. A message displays on the console confirming that the backup SRE module has halted. 151
