The transceivers for EX Series switches and OCX1100 switches are hot-removable and
hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs): You can remove and replace them without
powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.
NOTE: After you remove a transceiver or when you change the media-type
configuration, wait for 6 seconds for the interface to display the operational
commands.
Before you begin removing a transceiver from a switch, ensure that you have taken the
necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see
and Warnings for Switches" on page
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
An antistatic bag or an antistatic mat
Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector
A dust cover to cover the port
Figure 46 on page 131 shows how to remove a QSFP+ transceiver. The procedure is the
same for all types of transceivers except the CFP transceivers.
To remove a transceiver from a switch:
Place the antistatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
1.
Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect it correctly.
2.
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.
