You can install either one or two Routing Engine (RE) modules in a J-EX8216 switch. The
RE modules install horizontally in the front of the chassis in the slots labeled RE0 and
RE1. See "Slot Numbering for a J-EX8216 Switch" on page 14.
NOTE: We recommend that you install two RE modules for redundancy. If
you install only one RE module, we recommend that you install it in the slot
RE0.
CAUTION: Do not lift the RE module by holding the ejector levers. The levers
cannot support the weight of the module. Lifting the modules by the levers
might bend the levers, and the bent levers will prevent the RE module from
being properly seated in the chassis.
Before you begin installing an RE module in a J-EX8216 switch:
Ensure you understand how to prevent ESD damage. See "Prevention of Electrostatic
Discharge Damage on J-EX Series Switches" on page 230.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install an RE module:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
To install an RE module in a J-EX8216 switch (see Figure 50 on page 119):
