Dell PowerConnect J-Series J-EX8216 Ethernet Switch Hardware Guide Related • Removing a Line Card from a J-EX8200 Switch on page 166 Documentation • 8-port SFP+ Line Card in a J-EX8200 Switch on page 32 • 48-port SFP Line Card in a J-EX8200 Switch on page 33 • 48-port RJ-45 Line Card in a J-EX8200 Switch on page 34 Installing a Transceiver in a J-EX Series Switch The transceivers for J-EX Series switches are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs): You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions. 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 207). Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver. Figure 55 on page 127 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. WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting 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. If you are hot-swapping a transceiver, wait for at least 10 seconds after removing the transceiver from the port before installing a transceiver. 4. Using both hands, carefully place the transceiver in the empty port. The connectors must face the switch chassis. 126
