Installing and Removing EX-series Switch Hardware Components
The EX-series switch chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the other hardware components. The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in EX-series switches are:
- Power supply
- Fan tray
- Uplink module
- SFP transceiver
- XFP transceiver
The power supply, fan tray, SFP transceiver, and XFP transceiver in EX-series switches are hot-removable and hot-insertable FRUs: you can remove and replace them while the switch is functioning without turning off power to the switch or disrupting switch functions. The uplink module is not hot-removable and hot-insertable: you must turn off power to the switch before removing or installing it.
