Juniper EX Series Complete Hardware Guide

To install an SFP or XFP transceiver in an uplink module installed in an EX-series
switch (see Figure 59 on page 105):
1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and
connect the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
2. Remove the SFP or XFP transceiver from its bag.
3. Ensure that the transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover
the transceiver with a safety cap.
4. Remove the dust cover covering the port in the uplink module. Save the dust
cover in case you need to cover the port later.
5. Using both hands, carefully place the transceiver in the empty port in the uplink
module. The connectors should face the uplink module.
CAUTION: Ensure the transceiver is aligned correctly when you slide it into the port;
misalignment might bend the pins and make the transceiver unusable.
6. Slide the transceiver in gently until it is fully seated.
7. Remove the rubber safety cap when you are ready to connect the cable to the
transceiver.
