can result in significant delays if you need replacement parts. This note applies if
you change the type of power supply or add a new type of uplink module. It does
not apply if you replace these components with the same type of component.

Installing an Intraconnect Module in an EX4500 Switch
If you removed the intraconnect module from an EX4500 switch, use the procedure
described in this topic to install the intraconnect module.
The intraconnect module is installed horizontally on the rear of the switch. See “Rear
Panel of an EX4500 Switch” on page 8.
NOTE: Operating an EX4500 switch without the intraconnect module is not supported.
Before you begin installing the intraconnect module in an EX4500 switch:
■ Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage
(see “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on EX Series Switches” on
page 174).
■ Have instructions and tools available for removing and installing the fan tray. If
the fan tray is installed, you must remove it as part of the procedure for installing
the intraconnect module. After you install the module, you must install the fan
tray. See “Removing a Fan Tray from an EX4500 Switch” on page 119 and
“Installing a Fan Tray in an EX4500 Switch” on page 75.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
■ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
■ Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
■ A replacement intraconnect module
NOTE: You must remove the fan tray from the EX4500 switch before installing the
intraconnect module. See “Removing a Fan Tray from an EX4500 Switch” on page 119.
