The transceivers for Juniper Networks devices are hot-removable and hot-insertable
field-replaceable units (FRUs): You can remove and replace them without powering off
the device or disrupting the device functions.
NOTE:
After you insert a transceiver or after you change the media-type
configuration, wait for 6 seconds for the interface to display operational
commands.
NOTE:
We recommend that you use only optical transceivers and optical
connectors purchased from Juniper Networks with your Juniper Networks
device.
CAUTION:
If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses
a third-party optic or cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center
(JTAC) can help you diagnose the source of the problem. Your JTAC engineer
might recommend that you check the third-party optic or cable and potentially
replace it with an equivalent Juniper Networks optic or cable that is qualified
for the device.
