Installing a Line Card in an EX8200 Switch
EX8200 switches have field-replaceable unit (FRU) line cards that can be installed in
the line card slots on the front of the switch chassis. The line cards are hot-insertable
and hot-removable: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch
or disrupting switch functions.
Before you begin installing a line card in the switch:
• Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent Electrostatic discharge
(ESD) damage (see “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on EX Series
Switches” on page 292).
• If there are any transceivers installed in the line card, remove them before you install
the line card. For instructions on removing transceivers, see “Removing a Transceiver
from an EX Series Switch” on page 222.
