CHAPTER 12 Removing the Switch • Powering Off a J-EX8200 Switch on page 151 • Removing a J-EX8216 Switch from a Rack or Cabinet on page 152 Powering Off a J-EX8200 Switch Before you power off the switch: • Ensure that you understand how to prevent electrostatic discharge damage. See "Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on J-EX Series Switches" on page 230. • 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 Routing Engine (RE) module in a J-EX8216 switch. To power off a switch: 1. Connect a management device to the master RE module in a J-EX8216 switch. For connecting a management device to the console (CON) port, see "Connecting a J-EX Series Switch to a Management Console" on page 136. 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 135. 2. If the switch has two RE modules, shut down the backup RE module first. (If your switch has only one RE module, skip to Step 2.) From the external management PC connected to the master RE module, issue the request system halt other-routing-engine operational mode CLI command. This command shuts down the backup RE module gracefully. A message displays on the console confirming that the backup RE module has halted. 3. Shut down the master RE module from the external management device by issuing the request system halt operational mode CLI command. This command shuts down 151
