Chapter 13: Removing Switch Components Before you begin removing a transceiver from 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 the following parts and tools available: • An antistatic bag or an antistatic mat • Needlenose pliers • Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector • A dust cover to cover the port Figure 77 on page 170 shows how to remove an SFP transceiver. The procedure is the same for all transceiver types. To remove a transceiver from a J-EX Series switch: 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. WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes. 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. CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose. 3. Remove the cable connected to the transceiver (see "Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic Cable from a J-EX Series Switch" on page 170). Cover the transceiver and the end of each fiber-optic cable connector with a rubber safety cap immediately after disconnecting the fiber-optic cables. 4. Using your fingers, pull the ejector lever on the transceiver to unlock the transceiver. CAUTION: Before removing the transceiver, make sure you open the ejector lever completely until you hear it click. This prevents damage to the transceiver. 5. Using the needlenose pliers, pull the ejector lever out from the transceiver. 169

Before you begin removing a transceiver from 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 the following parts and tools available:

•

An antistatic bag or an antistatic mat

•

Needlenose pliers

•

Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector

•

A dust cover to cover the port

Figure 77 on page 170 shows how to remove an SFP transceiver. The procedure is the same

for all transceiver types.

To remove a transceiver from a J-EX Series switch:

Place the antistatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.

Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect it correctly.

WARNING:

Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the

ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables

connected to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

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.

CAUTION:

Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend

radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables

and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.

Remove the cable connected to the transceiver (see “Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic

Cable from a J-EX Series Switch” on page 170). Cover the transceiver and the end of

each fiber-optic cable connector with a rubber safety cap immediately after

disconnecting the fiber-optic cables.

Using your fingers, pull the ejector lever on the transceiver to unlock the transceiver.

CAUTION:

Before removing the transceiver, make sure you open the ejector

lever completely until you hear it click. This prevents damage to the

transceiver.

Using the needlenose pliers, pull the ejector lever out from the transceiver.
