Field-Replaceable Units in an EX4600 Switch
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are components that you can replace at your site. The EX4600 switch
FRUs are hot-insertable and hot-removable: you can remove and replace one of them without powering
off the switch or disrupting the switching function. FRU types are:
• Power supplies
• Fan modules
• Optical transceivers
• Expansion modules
CAUTION: Replace a failed power supply with a blank panel or a new power supply
within one minute of removal to prevent chassis overheating. The switch continues to
operate with only one power supply running. Replace a failed fan module with a new
fan module within one minute of removal to prevent chassis overheating. Do not
operate the switch for more than one minute after a fan module or power supply fails.
Table 3 on page 8
lists the FRUs for the EX4600 switch and actions to take before removing them.
