line card to support it. Taking care not to touch line card components, pins, leads, or
solder connections, gently slide the line card completely out of the chassis and place
it in an antistatic bag or on its own antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface.
CAUTION: After removing a line card, wait for at least 30 seconds before
installing a line card or removing another line card.

If you are not installing a line card or an SRE module in the emptied slot within a short
time, install the Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) module cover panel (SRE
module filler panel and line card cover panel) over the slot and secure each panel
with captive screws by using the screwdriver.
Do this to protect the interior of the chassis from dust or other foreign substances and
to ensure that the airflow inside the chassis is not disrupted.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the screws. Applying excessive force might
damage the screws.

EX Series switches have field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical transceivers to which you
can connect fiber-optic cables.
Before you begin disconnecting a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed
in an 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 EX Series
Switches" on page 265.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
A rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver
A rubber safety cap to cover the fiber-optic cable connector
