NOTE: On an EX3200 switch,if you install a transceiver in a 1-gigabit uplink module
port, a corresponding network port from the last four built-in ports is disabled. For
example, if you install a transceiver in the 1-gigabit uplink module port 2 (ge-0/1/3),
thenbuilt-inport23(ge-0/0/23)isdisabled.Thedisabledportisnotlistedintheoutput
of show interface commands.
Before you begin installing a transceiver in an EX Series switch, ensure that you have
taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety
Guidelines and Warnings for EX Series Switches” on page 269).
Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.

To install a transceiver in an EX Series switch:
CAUTION: To avoid electrostaticdischarge (ESD)damage to the transceiver,do not
touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.
1. Remove the transceiver from its bag.
2. Check to see whether the transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not,
cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or
removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
3. Ifthe port in which you want to install the transceiver is covered with a dust cover,
remove the dust cover and save it in case you need to cover the port later. If you are
hot-swappingatransceiver,waitforatleast10secondsafterremovingthetransceiver
from the port before installing a transceiver.
4. Using both hands, carefully place the transceiver in the empty port. The connectors
must face the switch chassis.

5. Slide the transceiver in gently until it is fully seated.
6. Remove the rubber safety cap when you are ready to connect the cable to the
transceiver.
