Installing and Removing EX4500 Switch Hardware Components
The EX4500 switch chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware
components. The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in EX4500 switches are:
■ Power supply
■ Fan tray
■ Uplink module
■ Intraconnect module
■ SFP transceiver
■ SFP+ transceiver
The power supply, fan tray, uplink module, and transceivers are hot-removable and
hot-insertable: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch
or disrupting switch functions.
