You can install an uplink module in the front panel of an EX4300 switch. The uplink
module in EX4300 switches is a hot-removable and hot-insertable unit (FRU): You can
remove and replace it without powering off the switch.
NOTE: If you have set an uplink module port as a Virtual Chassis port (VCP),
removing the uplink module breaks the setting. You must reset the port as a
VCP after you replace the module. See Setting an Uplink Port on an EX Series
Switch as a Virtual Chassis Port (CLI Procedure).
Before you begin installing an uplink module in the switch:
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage (see
"Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage" on page
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap (If a grounding strap is not available,
follow the alternative grounding method described in Step 1 of the following procedure.)
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
313).
