Installing an SF Module in an EX8208 Switch

You can install either zero Switch Fabric (SF) modules or one SF module in an EX8208 switch depending
on the switch configuration you want to have. One SF module is included in the base configuration. See
"EX8208 Switch Configurations" on page
The SF module can be installed only in the slot labeled SF. The SF module is keyed so that it does not fit
in any other slot in the chassis.
NOTE: Do not lift the SF module by holding the ejector levers. The levers cannot support the
weight of the module. Lifting the module by the levers might bend the levers. Bent levers prevent
the SF module from being properly seated in the chassis.
Before you begin installing an SF module in an EX8208 switch:
Ensure you understand how to prevent ESD damage. See
on page 381.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install an SF module:
