END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT  
READ THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) BEFORE DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE.  
BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE EXPRESSING YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS  
CONTAINED HEREIN, YOU (AS CUSTOMER OR IF YOU ARE NOT THE CUSTOMER, AS A REPRESENTATIVE/AGENT AUTHORIZED TO  
BIND THE CUSTOMER) CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT OR CANNOT AGREE TO THE TERMS CONTAINED  
HEREIN, THEN (A) DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR USE THE SOFTWARE, AND (B) YOU MAY CONTACT JUNIPER NETWORKS  
REGARDING LICENSE TERMS.  
1. The Parties. The parties to this Agreement are (i) Juniper Networks, Inc. (if the Customer’s principal office is located in the Americas) or  
Juniper Networks (Cayman) Limited (if the Customer’s principal office is located outside the Americas) (such applicable entity being referred  
to herein as “Juniper”), and (ii) the person or organization that originally purchased from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller the applicable  
license(s) for use of the Software (“Customer”) (collectively, the “Parties”).  
2. The Software. In this Agreement, “Software” means the program modules and features of the Juniper or Juniper-supplied software, for  
which Customer has paid the applicable license or support fees to Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller, or which was embedded by  
Juniper in equipment which Customer purchased from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller. “Software” also includes updates, upgrades  
and new releases of such software. “Embedded Software” means Software which Juniper has embedded in or loaded onto the Juniper  
equipment and any updates, upgrades, additions or replacements which are subsequently embedded in or loaded onto the equipment.  
3. License Grant. Subject to payment of the applicable fees and the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, Juniper grants to Customer  
a non-exclusive and non-transferable license, without right to sublicense, to use the Software, in executable form only, subject to the  
following use restrictions:  
a. Customer shall use Embedded Software solely as embedded in, and for execution on, Juniper equipment originally purchased by  
Customer from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller.  
b. Customer shall use the Software on a single hardware chassis having a single processing unit, or as many chassis or processing units  
for which Customer has paid the applicable license fees; provided, however, with respect to the Steel-Belted Radius or Odyssey Access  
Client software only, Customer shall use such Software on a single computer containing a single physical random access memory space  
and containing any number of processors. Use of the Steel-Belted Radius or IMS AAA software on multiple computers or virtual machines  
(e.g., Solaris zones) requires multiple licenses, regardless of whether such computers or virtualizations are physically contained on a single  
chassis.  
c. Product purchase documents, paper or electronic user documentation, and/or the particular licenses purchased by Customer may  
specify limits to Customer’s use of the Software. Such limits may restrict use to a maximum number of seats, registered endpoints, concurrent  
users, sessions, calls, connections, subscribers, clusters, nodes, realms, devices, links, ports or transactions, or require the purchase of  
separate licenses to use particular features, functionalities, services, applications, operations, or capabilities, or provide throughput,  
performance, configuration, bandwidth, interface, processing, temporal, or geographical limits. In addition, such limits may restrict the use  
of the Software to managing certain kinds of networks or require the Software to be used only in conjunction with other specific Software.  
Customer’s use of the Software shall be subject to all such limitations and purchase of all applicable licenses.  
d. For any trial copy of the Software, Customer’s right to use the Software expires 30 days after download, installation or use of the  
Software. Customer may operate the Software after the 30-day trial period only if Customer pays for a license to do so. Customer may not  
extend or create an additional trial period by re-installing the Software after the 30-day trial period.  
e. The Global Enterprise Edition of the Steel-Belted Radius software may be used by Customer only to manage access to Customer’s  
enterprise network. Specifically, service provider customers are expressly prohibited from using the Global Enterprise Edition of the  
Steel-Belted Radius software to support any commercial network access services.  
The foregoing license is not transferable or assignable by Customer. No license is granted herein to any user who did not originally purchase  
the applicable license(s) for the Software from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller.  
4. Use Prohibitions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the license provided herein does not permit the Customer to, and Customer agrees  
not to and shall not: (a) modify, unbundle, reverse engineer, or create derivative works based on the Software; (b) make unauthorized  
copies of the Software (except as necessary for backup purposes); (c) rent, sell, transfer, or grant any rights in and to any copy of the  
Software, in any form, to any third party; (d) remove any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on or in any copy of the Software or any product  
in which the Software is embedded; (e) distribute any copy of the Software to any third party, including as may be embedded in Juniper  
equipment sold in the secondhand market; (f) use any ‘locked’ or key-restricted feature, function, service, application, operation, or capability  
without first purchasing the applicable license(s) and obtaining a valid key from Juniper, even if such feature, function, service, application,  
operation, or capability is enabled without a key; (g) distribute any key for the Software provided by Juniper to any third party; (h) use the  
iv

Software in any manner that extends or is broader than the uses purchased by Customer from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller; (i)  
use Embedded Software on non-Juniper equipment; (j) use Embedded Software (or make it available for use) on Juniper equipment that  
the Customer did not originally purchase from Juniper or an authorized Juniper reseller; (k) disclose the results of testing or benchmarking  
of the Software to any third party without the prior written consent of Juniper; or (l) use the Software in any manner other than as expressly  
provided herein.  
5. Audit. Customer shall maintain accurate records as necessary to verify compliance with this Agreement. Upon request by Juniper,  
Customer shall furnish such records to Juniper and certify its compliance with this Agreement.  
6. Confidentiality. The Parties agree that aspects of the Software and associated documentation are the confidential property of Juniper.  
As such, Customer shall exercise all reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the Software and associated documentation in confidence,  
which at a minimum includes restricting access to the Software to Customer employees and contractors having a need to use the Software  
for Customer’s internal business purposes.  
7. Ownership. Juniper and Juniper’s licensors, respectively, retain ownership of all right, title, and interest (including copyright) in and to  
the Software, associated documentation, and all copies of the Software. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a transfer or conveyance  
of any right, title, or interest in the Software or associated documentation, or a sale of the Software, associated documentation, or copies  
of the Software.  
8. Warranty, Limitation of Liability, Disclaimer of Warranty. The warranty applicable to the Software shall be as set forth in the warranty  
statement that accompanies the Software (the “Warranty Statement”). Nothing in this Agreement shall give rise to any obligation to support  
the Software. Support services may be purchased separately. Any such support shall be governed by a separate, written support services  
agreement. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JUNIPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA,  
ORCOSTSORPROCUREMENTOFSUBSTITUTEGOODSORSERVICES, ORFORANYSPECIAL, INDIRECT, ORCONSEQUENTIALDAMAGES  
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY JUNIPER OR JUNIPER-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE. IN NO EVENT SHALL JUNIPER  
BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM UNAUTHORIZED OR IMPROPER USE OF ANY JUNIPER OR JUNIPER-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE.  
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE WARRANTY STATEMENT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JUNIPER DISCLAIMS ANY  
AND ALL WARRANTIES IN AND TO THE SOFTWARE (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING ANY  
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT DOES  
JUNIPER WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY EQUIPMENT OR NETWORK RUNNING THE SOFTWARE, WILL OPERATE WITHOUT  
ERROR OR INTERRUPTION, OR WILL BE FREE OF VULNERABILITY TO INTRUSION OR ATTACK. In no event shall Juniper’s or its suppliers’  
or licensors’ liability to Customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of warranty, or otherwise, exceed the price paid  
by Customer for the Software that gave rise to the claim, or if the Software is embedded in another Juniper product, the price paid by  
Customer for such other product. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Juniper has set its prices and entered into this Agreement in  
reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between  
the Parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same  
form an essential basis of the bargain between the Parties.  
9. Termination. Any breach of this Agreement or failure by Customer to pay any applicable fees due shall result in automatic termination  
of the license granted herein. Upon such termination, Customer shall destroy or return to Juniper all copies of the Software and related  
documentation in Customer’s possession or control.  
10. Taxes. All license fees payable under this agreement are exclusive of tax. Customer shall be responsible for paying Taxes arising from  
the purchase of the license, or importation or use of the Software. If applicable, valid exemption documentation for each taxing jurisdiction  
shall be provided to Juniper prior to invoicing, and Customer shall promptly notify Juniper if their exemption is revoked or modified. All  
payments made by Customer shall be net of any applicable withholding tax. Customer will provide reasonable assistance to Juniper in  
connection with such withholding taxes by promptly: providing Juniper with valid tax receipts and other required documentation showing  
Customer’s payment of any withholding taxes; completing appropriate applications that would reduce the amount of withholding tax to  
be paid; and notifying and assisting Juniper in any audit or tax proceeding related to transactions hereunder. Customer shall comply with  
all applicable tax laws and regulations, and Customer will promptly pay or reimburse Juniper for all costs and damages related to any  
liability incurred by Juniper as a result of Customer’s non-compliance or delay with its responsibilities herein. Customer’s obligations under  
this Section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.  
11. Export. Customer agrees to comply with all applicable export laws and restrictions and regulations of any United States and any  
applicable foreign agency or authority, and not to export or re-export the Software or any direct product thereof in violation of any such  
restrictions, laws or regulations, or without all necessary approvals. Customer shall be liable for any such violations. The version of the  
Software supplied to Customer may contain encryption or other capabilities restricting Customer’s ability to export the Software without  
an export license.

12. Commercial Computer Software. The Software is “commercial computer software” and is provided with restricted rights. Use,  
duplication, or disclosure by the United States government is subject to restrictions set forth in this Agreement and as provided in DFARS  
227.7201 through 227.7202-4, FAR 12.212, FAR 27.405(b)(2), FAR 52.227-19, or FAR 52.227-14(ALT III) as applicable.  
13. Interface Information. To the extent required by applicable law, and at Customer's written request, Juniper shall provide Customer  
with the interface information needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another independently created program, on  
payment of applicable fee, if any. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information and shall use  
such information in compliance with any applicable terms and conditions upon which Juniper makes such information available.  
14. Third Party Software. Any licensor of Juniper whose software is embedded in the Software and any supplier of Juniper whose products  
or technology are embedded in (or services are accessed by) the Software shall be a third party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement,  
and such licensor or vendor shall have the right to enforce this Agreement in its own name as if it were Juniper. In addition, certain third party  
software may be provided with the Software and is subject to the accompanying license(s), if any, of its respective owner(s). To the extent  
portions of the Software are distributed under and subject to open source licenses obligating Juniper to make the source code for such  
portions publicly available (such as the GNU General Public License (“GPL) or the GNU Library General Public License (“LGPL)), Juniper  
will make such source code portions (including Juniper modifications, as appropriate) available upon request for a period of up to three  
years from the date of distribution. Such request can be made in writing to Juniper Networks, Inc., 1194 N. Mathilda Ave., Sunnyvale, CA  
94089, ATTN: General Counsel. You may obtain a copy of the GPL at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html, and a copy of the LGPL  
15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to its conflicts of laws  
principles. The provisions of the U.N. Convention for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. For any disputes  
arising under this Agreement, the Parties hereby consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal  
courts within Santa Clara County, California. This Agreement constitutes the entire and sole agreement between Juniper and the Customer  
with respect to the Software, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements relating to the Software, whether oral or written  
(including any inconsistent terms contained in a purchase order), except that the terms of a separate written agreement executed by an  
authorized Juniper representative and Customer shall govern to the extent such terms are inconsistent or conflict with terms contained  
herein. No modification to this Agreement nor any waiver of any rights hereunder shall be effective unless expressly assented to in writing  
by the party to be charged. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid, the Parties agree that such invalidity shall not affect the validity  
of the remainder of this Agreement. This Agreement and associated documentation has been written in the English language, and the  
Parties agree that the English version will govern. (For Canada: Les parties aux présentés confirment leur volonté que cette convention de  
même que tous les documents y compris tout avis qui s'y rattaché, soient redigés en langue anglaise. (Translation: The parties confirm that  
this Agreement and all related documentation is and will be in the English language)).

CHAPTER 1  
EX8208 Switch Overview  
EX8208 Switch Hardware Overview  
Juniper Networks EX8208 Ethernet Switches provide high performance, scalable  
connectivity, and carrier-class reliability for high-density environments such as  
campus-aggregation and data-center networks. The EX8208 switch is a modular system  
that provides high availability and redundancy for all major hardware components,  
including Routing Engines, switch fabric, fan tray, and power supplies.  
You can manage EX8208 switches using the same interfaces that you use for managing  
other devices running the Juniper Networks Junos operating system (Junos OS)—the  
command-line interface (CLI), the J-Web graphical interface, and the Network and  
Security Manager (NSM).  
Software  
The Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches run under the Juniper Networks Junos  
OS, which provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, routing, and security services. The  
same Junos OS code base that runs on EX Series switches also runs on all Juniper  
Networks J Series, M Series, MX Series, and T Series routers.

Chassis Physical Specifications  
The EX8208 switch is 14 rack units (14 U) in size (1/3 rack); three EX8208 switches can  
fit in a standard 42 U rack. Each EX8208 switch is designed to optimize rack space and  
cabling. See Figure 1 on page 4.  
Figure 1: EX8208 Switch  
The EX8208 switch has a chassis-level LCD panel that displays Routing Engine and  
switch fabric status as well as chassis components’ alarm information for rapid problem  
identification. The LCD panel provides a user-friendly interface for performing initial  
switch configuration, rolling back a configuration, or restoring the switch to its default  
The EX8208 chassis backplane distributes the data, control, and management signals  
to various system components along with distributing power throughout the system.

Chapter 1: EX8208 Switch Overview  
Routing Engines and Switch Fabric  
Switching functionality, system management, and system control functions of an EX8208  
switch are performed by a Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) module. See “Switch  
module contains a Routing Engine and switch fabric. The SRE modules are installed in  
the front of the chassis in the slots labeled SRE0 and SRE1. See “Slot Numbering for an  
EX8208 Switch” on page 13. A base configuration EX8208 switch has one SRE module.  
A redundant configuration EX8208 switch has a second SRE module. See “EX8208  
The Switch Fabric (SF) module, working with the SRE module, provides the necessary  
switching functionality to a base configuration EX8208 switch. The SF module is installed  
in the front of the chassis in the slot labeled SF. In a redundant configuration the SF  
module provides a redundant switch fabric. The additional switch fabric provides full 2+1  
switch fabric redundancy to the switch. See “Switch Fabric (SF) Module in an EX8208  
Line Cards  
The EX8208 switch features eight horizontal line card slots and supports the line rate  
for each line card. The line cards in EX8200 switches combine a Packet Forwarding  
Engine and Ethernet interfaces on a single assembly. Line cards are field-replaceable  
units (FRUs) that can be installed in the line card slots labeled 0 through 7 on the front  
of the switch chassis. See “Slot Numbering for an EX8208 Switch” on page 13. All line  
cards are hot-removable and hot-insertable.  
The following line cards are available for EX8208 switches:  
8-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ line card: This line card has eight 10-gigabit SFP+  
ports on its faceplate in which you can install SFP+ transceivers. See “8-port SFP+  
40-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ line card: This line card has 40 10-gigabit SFP+ ports  
on its faceplate in which you can install either SFP+ or SFP transceivers. See “40-port  
48-port 100/1000 SFP line card: This line card has 48 1-gigabit SFP ports on its  
faceplate in which you can install SFP transceivers. See “48-port SFP Line Card in an  
48-port 10/100/1000 RJ-45 line card: This line card had 48 10/100/1000 Gigabit  
Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connectors on its faceplate. See “48-port RJ-45 Line Card  
Cooling System  
The cooling system in an EX8208 switch consists of a hot-removable and hot-insertable  
fan tray. The fan tray contains 12 fans. The fan tray installs vertically on the left front of  
the chassis and provides side-to-side chassis cooling. See “Cooling System and Airflow

Power Supplies  
Power supplies for the EX8208 switch are fully redundant, load-sharing, and  
hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs). Each EX8208 switch  
chassis can hold up to six 2000 W AC, six 3000 W AC, or six 2000 W DC power supplies.  
The 2000 W AC power supplies support both low-voltage line (100–120 VAC) and  
high-voltage line (200–240 VAC) AC power configurations on an EX8208 switch. Each  
2000 W AC power supply delivers 2000 W of power at high-voltage line (200–240 VAC)  
or 1200 W at low-voltage line (100–120 VAC) to the EX8208 chassis.  
Each 3000 W AC power supply delivers 3000 W of power at high-voltage line (200–240  
VAC) input to the EX8208 chassis. Low-voltage line input is not supported for the 3000  
W AC power supplies on the EX8208 switch.  
Each DC power supply delivers 2000 W of power to the chassis when the input voltage  
is in the range –40 VDC through –72 VDC.  
Only two AC power supplies are required for the base AC configuration and switch  
powerup. The redundant AC configuration ships with six AC power supplies to provide  
the capacity to power the system using N+1 or N+N power redundancy. See “AC Power  
The redundant DC configuration ships with four DC power supplies. The dual inputs of  
the DC supplies provide direct support for N+N power redundancy. The redundant  
configuration also provides sufficient capacity for N+1 redundancy in most configurations;  
if necessary, up to two additional DC supplies can be added to the system. See “DC Power  
CAUTION: Mixing different types of power supplies in the same chassis is not supported.

Chapter 1: EX8208 Switch Overview  
Understanding EX8208 Switch Component and Functionality Redundancy  
The Juniper Networks EX8208 Ethernet Switch is available as a fully redundant system.  
A redundant EX8208 switch configuration is designed so that no single point of failure  
can cause the entire switch to fail. See “EX8208 Switch Configurations” on page 6.  
This topic describes:  
Hardware Components That Provide Redundancy  
The following hardware components provide redundancy to an EX8208 switch:  
SRE modules—An EX8208 switch can have either one Switch Fabric and Routing  
Engine (SRE) module or two SRE modules. If two SRE modules are installed, one SRE  
module functions as the master and the other functions as the backup. If the master  
SRE module fails or is removed the backup module takes over as the master SRE  
module.  
When the SRE modules are configured for graceful switchover, the backup SRE module  
automatically synchronizes its configuration and state with those of the master SRE  
module. Any update to the master SRE module is replicated on the backup SRE module.  
If the backup module assumes mastership, packet forwarding continues through the  
switch.  
Power supplies—You can install up to six AC or six DC power supplies in an EX8208  
switch. Each power supply connects to the backplane of the chassis, which distributes  
the output power produced by the power supplies to different switch components.  
(See “Backplane in an EX8208 Switch” on page 55.) Each power supply provides power  
to all the components in the switch.  
An N+1 power configuration is required for Juniper Networks EX8200 Ethernet Switches.  
In an N+1 power configuration, if one power supply fails or is removed, the remaining  
power supplies continue to supply power for the entire system without interruption. If  
dual power feed redundancy is required, the required power configuration is N+N. The  
DC power supplies provide independent A and B power feeds so that dual power  
redundancy is available even in an N+1 power configuration. See “AC Power Supply in  
Cooling system—The cooling system in an EX8200 switch consists of a single fan tray.  
The fan tray contains 12 fans. Under normal operating conditions, the fans in the fan  
tray run at less than full speed.  
The fans are controlled by two fan tray controllers. The fans are numbered 1 through  
12. Fans 1 through 6 are controlled by the first fan tray controller. Fans 7 through 12 are  
controlled by the second fan tray controller. If one fan tray controller fails, the other

Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches  
fan tray controller keeps half the fans working. This allows the switch to continue to  
operate normally as long as the remaining fans cool the chassis sufficiently.  
The fan tray continues to operate indefinitely and provides sufficient cooling even when  
a single fan fails provided the room temperature is within the operating range. See  
Routing Engine and Control Redundancy  
Each SRE module contains switch fabric circuitry, Routing Engine circuitry, and switch  
control and management circuitry. An EX8208 switch can have one SRE module or two  
SRE modules. If a switch has two SRE modules, one functions as the master while the  
other functions as a backup and is in standby mode. This provides the switch with full  
redundancy (1+1) for Routing Engine and switch control functionality.  
Table 3 on page 12 shows the available slots in the EX8208 chassis and the Routing  
Engine and control redundancy associated with different SRE module and Switch Fabric  
(SF) module combinations.

Switch Fabric Redundancy  
The switch fabric circuitry in an EX8208 switch is distributed across three modules—two  
SRE modules and one SF module. Any two of these three modules must be installed and  
functional to provide a working switch fabric with no redundancy. The third module, when  
present, provides partial redundancy (2+1) for the switching functionality, such that if  
any one of the two functional modules becomes nonoperational, the third module takes  
over.  
Table 4 on page 12 shows the available slots in an EX8208 chassis and the switch fabric  
redundancy associated with different SRE module and SF module combinations.

Chapter 2: Component Descriptions  
In the base configuration, an SF module is used with a single Switch Fabric and Routing  
Engine (SRE) module to build a nonredundant system that provides full bandwidth.  
However, a base configuration EX8208 switch has no Routing Engine and switch control  
redundancy or switch fabric redundancy. In a base configuration, the main function of  
the SF module is to switch data between line cards. See “Understanding EX8208 Switch  
In a redundant configuration, an SF module is used with two SRE modules to achieve  
full bandwidth along with Routing Engine and switch control redundancy and switch  
fabric redundancy. In a redundant configuration, the main function of the SF module is  
to provide a redundant switching plane for the switch. See “Understanding EX8208  
In a redundant configuration, the SF module is hot-pluggable. However, in the base  
configuration, you must take the SF module offline before removing it.  
The SF module contains logic that determines which SRE module is the master. The  
master SRE module controls many internal functions of the SF module.  
The SF module provides these functions:  
Provide redundant data path connectivity for the switch in the redundant configuration  
Provide nonredundant data path connectivity for the switch in the base configuration  
The SF module has these components:  
SF module LEDs—Indicate system status. See “SF Module LEDs in an EX8208 Switch”  
Ejector levers—Used for installing and removing the SF module.  
Captive screws—Secure the SF module in place.

The port groups can have different oversubscription ratios depending on the number of  
active ports in each port group. If only one port in a port group is active, the  
oversubscription ratio is 1:1. If two ports are active, the ratio is 2:1; if all ports are active,  
the ratio is 5:1.  
If you transmit 10 gigabits of traffic through a port group, the line card does not drop  
packets. However, if you transmit more than 10 gigabits of traffic through a port group,  
the line card allows only a fair share of traffic to transit. For example, if you transmit 10  
gigabits of traffic though each of the five ports in a port group, the line card allows only  
a fifth of the traffic from each port to transit. If you transmit 10 gigabits of traffic though  
two ports in a port group, the line card allows only half the traffic from each port to transit.  
Because the port groups share bandwidth, class-of-service (CoS) ingress and egress  
queues are handled differently on the 40-port SFP+ line card than on other line cards  
for EX8200 switches (see Understanding CoS Queues on the 40-port SFP+ Line Card  
on EX8200 Switches). As a result, the ports in a port group must use the same scheduler  
map. By default, they use the default scheduler map. To configure a different scheduler  
map on the ports in a port group, see Defining CoS Schedulers (CLI Procedure).

AC Power Supply in an EX8200 Switch  
EX8200 switches can use either AC or DC power supplies. This topic describes the AC  
power supplies in EX8200 switches:  
AC Power Supply Description  
The AC power supplies in EX8200 switches are hot-insertable and hot-removable  
field-replaceable units (FRUs).  
You can install up to six AC power supplies in an EX8200 switch. Power supplies are  
installed at the bottom of the chassis in slots PSU 0 through PSU 5 (left to right). All  
power supplies are accessible from the front of the chassis.  
WARNING: The switch is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access  
location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal provided on the chassis in addition  
to the grounding pin of the power supply cord. This separate protective earthing terminal  
must be permanently connected to earth ground.  
NOTE: All base configuration EX8200 switches are shipped with two power supplies.  
Cover panels are installed over the remaining four power supply slots. Additional power  
supplies can be added to base configuration switches as necessary.  
For details about different switch configurations, see “EX8208 Switch Configurations”  
on page 6 or EX8216 Switch Configurations.  
Each AC power supply weighs approximately 7 lb (3.2 kg) and has an independent 16 A  
rated AC inlet on its front. Each inlet requires a dedicated AC power feed. Each AC power  
supply has an Enable switch, a fan, and three LEDs on the faceplate that indicate the  
status of the power supply. See Figure 25 on page 41.

Chapter 2: Component Descriptions  
Figure 25: AC Power Supply  
Each AC power supply comes with a power retainer that holds the power cord in place.  
See Figure 26 on page 41. The power retainer has a clip and an adjustment nut. The  
L-shaped ends of the clip hook into the bracket holes on each side of the AC appliance  
inlet on the faceplate. The adjustment nut holds the power cord in the correct position.  
For instructions for installing the power retainer, see “Connecting AC Power to an EX8200  
Figure 26: Power Retainer for an AC Power Supply  
Each power supply connects to the backplane in an EX8208 switch and to the midplane  
in an EX8216 switch. The backplane and the midplane distribute the output power  
produced by the power supplies to different switch components. Each AC power supply  
provides power to all the components in the switch.  
Each power supply has its own fan and is cooled by its own internal cooling system. The  
airflow is from the front of the power supply to the back. Hot air exhausts from the rear  
of the chassis.  
EX8200 switches support both 2000 W AC power supplies and 3000 W AC power  
supplies.  
The 2000 W AC power supply supports both the low-voltage line (100–120 VAC) and  
the high-voltage line (200–240 VAC) AC power configurations. In both cases, the output

Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches  
is 52 VDC. The output power is 1200 W for low-voltage line input and 2000 W for  
high-voltage line input.  
The 3000 W AC power supply supports only the high-voltage line input (200–240 VAC)  
AC power configuration. Low-voltage line input is not supported for the 3000 W AC  
power supplies on the EX8200 switches. The output is 52 VDC. The output power is  
3000 W for high-voltage line input.  
N+1 Redundancy Configuration of AC Power Supplies  
N+1 redundancy configuration is required for normal operation of EX8200 switches. In  
an N+1 redundancy configuration, if one power supply fails or is removed, the remaining  
power supplies continue to supply power for the switch without interruption.  
Depending on the configuration type of the switch and the input voltage, determine the  
number of power supplies needed (N) for a switch. Install an additional power supply to  
meet the required N+1 redundancy configuration. For details about different switch  
configurations, see “EX8208 Switch Configurations” on page 6 or EX8216 Switch  
Configurations.  
The tables in this section list the N+1 power requirements for different EX8200 switch  
configurations:

N+N Redundancy Configuration of AC Power Supplies  
You can optionally configure your switch for N+N redundancy, in which N power supplies  
can be removed or fail and the remaining N power supplies continue to supply power for  
the switch without interruption. A common application for N+N redundancy is to have a  
dual power feed for AC power supplies.  
How many power supplies you require for N+N redundancy can depend on which Junos  
OS Release your switch is running:  
Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.

43  
       
Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches  
Junos OS Release 10.1 or earlier—Consult Table 17 on page 42, Table 19 on page 43, or  
Table 20 on page 43 to determine the number of power supplies needed (N). Then  
multiple the N value by two.  
NOTE: In Junos OS Release 10.1 or earlier, the power management feature manages  
switches for N+1 redundancy only. This means, for example, that power management  
raises an alarm if there is insufficient power to maintain N+1 redundancy, but not if there  
is insufficient power to maintain N+N redundancy.  
Junos OS Release 10.2 or later—Consult Table 21 on page 45, Table 23 on page 45, or  
Table 24 on page 46 in this section.  
Starting with Junos OS Release 10.2, you can configure the power management software  
to manage the switch power for N+N redundancy. When you configure power  
management for N+N redundancy, power management lowers the maximum chassis  
power consumption by lowering the maximum fan speed. It does so to compensate for  
the extra power that is held in reserve in an N+N configuration than in an N+1 configuration,  
because of which less power would ordinarily be available to power line cards. By reducing  
the maximum chassis power consumption, power management allows the switch to  
power more line cards.  
The configuration type of the switch and the input voltage determine the number of  
power supplies needed (N) for the switch. You must then install additional power supplies  
to meet the N+N redundancy configuration. For details about different switch  
configurations, see “EX8208 Switch Configurations” on page 6 or EX8216 Switch  
Configurations.

configurations:

configurations that use 2000 W AC power supplies.

DC Power Supply in an EX8200 Switch  
The DC power supplies in EX8200 switches are hot-removable and hot-insertable  
field-replaceable units (FRUs).  
NOTE: EX8208 switches support 2000 W DC power supplies.  
EX8216 switches support 3000 W DC power supplies.  
You can install up to six DC power supplies in an EX8200 switch. Power supplies are  
installed at the bottom of the chassis in slots labeled PSU 0 through PSU 5 (left to right).  
EX8216 Switch. All power supplies are accessible from the front of the chassis.  
WARNING: The switch is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access  
location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal provided on the chassis. This  
separate protective earthing terminal must be permanently connected to earth ground.  
NOTE: EX8216 switches have two protective earthing terminals provided on the chassis,  
one on the left side of the chassis and the other on the rear of the chassis. Only one of  
these protective earthing terminals needs to be permanently connected to earth ground.  
See Chassis Physical Specifications of an EX8216 Switch for the location of the  
protective earthing terminals.  
NOTE: DC power supplies are shipped only in the redundant configuration of EX8200  
switches.  
See “EX8208 Switch Configurations” on page 6 for details about different EX8208  
switch configurations.  
See EX8216 Switch Configurations for details about different EX8216 switch  
configurations.  
Each DC power supply weighs approximately 7 lb (3.2 kg) and has two independent pairs  
of DC input lugs (A: –48V A: RTN and B: – 48V B: RTN ) on the front of the power supply.  
Each power supply also has an Enable switch, a fan, and four LEDs on the faceplate that  
indicate the status of the power supply. See Figure 28 on page 49.

Figure 28: DC Power Supply  
NOTE: A 2000 W DC power supply requires a dedicated 60 A circuit breaker for each  
input DC feed.  
A 3000 W DC power supply requires a dedicated 100 A circuit breaker for each input  
DC feed.  
Each DC power supply connects to the backplane in an EX8208 switch and to the  
midplane in an EX8216 switch. The backplane in an EX8208 switch and the midplane in  
an EX8216 switch distribute the output power produced by the power supplies to different  
switch components. Each DC power supply provides power to all the components in the  
switch.  
The output of each 2000 W DC power supply is 52 VDC. The output power is 2000 W.  
The output of each 3000 W DC power supply is 52 VDC. The output power is 3000 W.  
A DC power supply works with only one input DC feed connected. It is able to deliver the  
full output power to all chassis components with only one DC feed connected.  
Each DC power supply has its own fan and is cooled by its own internal cooling system.  
The airflow is from the front of the power supply to the back. Hot air exhausts from the  
rear of the chassis.  
The minimum power configuration required by an EX8200 switch is an N+1 power  
configuration. In an N+1 power configuration, if one power supply fails or is removed, the  
remaining power supplies continue to supply power for the system without interruption.  
The configuration type of the switch and the input voltage determine the number of  
power supplies needed (N) for a switch. You must install an additional power supply to  
meet the required N+1 power redundancy configuration. The DC power supplies each  
provide independent A and B power feeds, so that dual power feed redundancy is available  
even in an N+1 configuration. See “EX8208 Switch Configurations” on page 6 for details  
about different EX8208 switch configurations. See EX8216 Switch Configurations for  
details about different EX8216 switch configurations.

Cooling System and Airflow in an EX8208 Switch  
The cooling system in an EX8208 switch consists of a single fan tray. The fan tray is a  
hot-insertable and hot-removable field-replaceable unit (FRU). The fan tray contains 12  
fans.  
The fan tray installs vertically on the left side on the front of the chassis and provides  
side-to-side chassis cooling. A handle on the front faceplate facilitates handling of the  
fan tray. See Figure 30 on page 53.  
Figure 30: Fan Tray for an EX8208 Switch  
The fan tray can be removed and replaced from the front of the chassis. The switch  
continues to operate for a limited time (2 minutes) during the replacement of the fan  
tray without thermal shutdown.  
CAUTION: You must replace the fan tray within 2 minutes of removing it.  
The air intake to cool the chassis is located on the right side of the chassis. Air is pulled  
into the chassis and is pushed thorough the line card cage towards the fan tray. Hot air  
exhausts from the left side of the chassis. See Figure 31 on page 54.

Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches  
Figure 31: Airflow Through the EX8208 Switch Chassis  
The Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) module monitors the temperature of switch  
components. Under normal operating conditions, the fans in the fan tray run at less than  
full speed. The fans are controlled by two fan tray controllers. The fans are numbered 1  
through 12. Fans 1 through 6 are controlled by the first fan tray controller. Fans 7 through  
12 are controlled by the second fan tray controller. If one fan tray controller fails, the other  
fan tray controller keeps half the fans working. This allows the switch to continue to  
operate normally as long as the remaining fans cool the chassis sufficiently.  
If a fan fails or the ambient temperature rises above the threshold 113°F (45°C), the  
speed of the remaining fans is automatically adjusted to keep the temperature within  
the acceptable range, 32°F (0°C) through 104°F (40°C).  
The fan tray continues to operate indefinitely and provide sufficient cooling even when  
a single fan fails provided the room temperature is within the operating range. You can  
check the status of fans and the chassis temperature from the Environment Status option  
in the Status menu on the LCD panel. See “LCD Panel in an EX8200 Switch” on page 17.  
You cannot replace a single fan. If one or more fans fail, you must replace the entire fan  
tray.  
WARNING: There is no fan guard on the fans. Be careful to keep your fingers clear of  
moving fan blades when you are removing the fan tray.

Backplane in an EX8208 Switch  
The backplane is a printed circuit board that forms the back of the line card cage. The  
Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) modules, Switch Fabric (SF) module, power  
supplies, and line cards plug into the backplane from the front of the chassis. The  
backplane contains an EEPROM that stores the serial number and revision level of the  
backplane.  
The backplane performs the following functions:  
Power distribution—The backplane distributes power to all the switch components  
from the power supplies that plug into it.  
Control-signal connectivity—The backplane transports the control signals exchanged  
by system components for monitoring, control, and management purposes.  
Transfer of data between line cards and SRE modules—The backplane provides  
connectivity for data traffic to and from the line cards and the SRE modules.  
WARNING: High levels of electrical energy are distributed across the switch backplane.  
Do not touch the backplane connectors, or any component connected to the backplane,  
with any metallic object while servicing components installed in the switch.

Optical Interface Support in EX8200 Switches  
This topic describes the optical interfaces supported for transceivers used in the SFP  
and SFP+ line cards for EX8200 switches. It also lists the copper interface supported for  
the SFP transceivers.  
NOTE: Use only optical transceivers and optical connectors purchased from Juniper  
Networks for your EX Series switch.  
The Gigabit Ethernet SFP and SFP+ transceivers installed in EX8200 switches support  
digital optical monitoring (DOM): you can view the diagnostic details for these transceivers  
by issuing the operational mode CLI command show interfaces diagnostics optics. The  
command does not give any output for copper transceivers, Fast Ethernet transceivers,  
or transceivers not purchased from Juniper Networks.

cost-effective networking connectivity within a rack and between adjacent racks.  
This topic describes:  
Cable Specifications  
Juniper Networks SFP+ direct attach cables are available in four lengths:  
1 m (3.3 ft)—Supported on EX3200, EX4200, EX4500, and EX8200 switches  
3 m (9.9 ft)—Supported on EX3200, EX4200, EX4500, and EX8200 switches  
5 m (16.4 ft)—Supported on EX3200, EX4200, and EX8200 switches  
7 m (23 ft)—Supported on EX3200, EX4200, EX4500, and EX8200 switches  
NOTE: When you use SFP+ direct attach cables with your EX Series switches, we  
recommend that you use only Juniper Networks SFP+ direct attach cables.  
The cables are hot-removable and hot-insertable: You can remove and replace them

Grounding Cable and Lug Specifications for EX8200 Switches  
For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, the switch  
must be adequately grounded before power is connected to ensure proper operation  
and to meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements. To ground an  
EX8200 switch, connect a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach it to the  
chassis grounding points.  
CAUTION: For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis,  
use the protective earthing terminal on the EX8200 switch chassis to connect to earth  
ground. Before switch installation begins, a licensed electrician must attach a cable lug  
to the grounding cables that you supply. See “Connecting Earth Ground to an EX Series  
Switch” on page 167. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch.  
A pair of threaded inserts (PEM nuts) is provided on the right side towards the top rear  
corner of the EX8208 chassis for connecting the switch to earth ground. The grounding  
points fit UNC ¼-20 screws. The grounding points are spaced at 0.625 in. (15.86 mm).  
Two pairs of threaded inserts (PEM nuts) are provided on the EX8216 chassis for  
connecting the switch to earth ground. The first pair is located on the right side towards  
the top rear corner of the chassis. The second pair is on the rear of chassis towards the  
right bottom corner of the chassis. Both pairs of grounding points fit UNC ¼-20 screws.  
The grounding points are spaced at 0.625 in. (15.86 mm).  
NOTE: EX8216 switches have two protective earthing terminals provided on the chassis.  
Only one of these protective earthing terminals needs to be permanently connected to  
earth ground. See Chassis Physical Specifications of an EX8216 Switch for the location  
of the protective earthing terminals.

General Site Guidelines for EX Series Switches  
Efficient switch operation requires proper site planning and maintenance and proper  
layout of the equipment, rack or cabinet (if used), and wiring closet.  
To plan and create an acceptable operating environment for your EX Series switch and  
prevent environmentally caused equipment failures:  
Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and conductive material, such as  
metal flakes.  
Follow prescribed airflow guidelines to ensure that the cooling system functions properly  
and that exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the  
switch.  
Follow the prescribed ESD prevention procedures to avoid damaging the equipment.  
Static discharge can cause components to fail completely or intermittently over time.  
Install the switch in a secure area, so that only authorized personnel can access the

Guidelines  
Rack type and mounting bracket hole  
spacing  
Use a four-post rack or a two-post rack. You can mount the switch on any four-post  
or two-post rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75  
in./4.44 cm) increments and that meets the size and strength requirements specified  
in this table.  
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated  
Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry  
Association (http://www.eia.org).  
You can stack three EX8208 switches in a four-post rack that has at least 42 U; if you  
install the optional power cord tray, a minimum of 45 U are required. You can stack  
three EX8208 switches in a two-post rack that has 45 U (installing the power cord  
tray is mandatory for two-post rack installations). In all cases, the rack must meet the  
strength requirements to support the weight.  
Rack size and strength  
Ensure that the rack is a 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and  
Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics  
Industry Association (http://www.eia.org).  
Ensure that the rack is one of the following standard lengths:  
23.62 in. (600 mm)  
30.0 in. (762 mm)  
21.5 in. (546 mm)  
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the EX8208  
switch chassis' external dimensions of 24.25 in. (61.6 cm) height, 17.25 in. (43.815  
cm) width, 20 in. (50.8 cm) depth. The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets  
extend the width to 19 in. (48.3 cm).  
The EX8208 switch chassis height of 24.25 in. (61.6 cm) is approximately 14 U. If  
you install the power cord tray (optional for four-post rack installations, mandatory  
for two-post rack installations), the chassis and power cord tray consume 15 U.  
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured switch.  
A fully configured EX8208 switch weighs up to 284 lb (130 kg). If you stack three  
fully configured EX8208 switches in one rack, that rack must support up to 852 lb  
(487 kg).  
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper clearance  
around the switch and rack as specified in “Clearance Requirements for Airflow and  
Rack connection to the building  
structure  
Secure the rack to the building structure.  
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the  
floor.  
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets for maximum  
stability.

Guidelines for the EX8208 Switch  
Cabinet size and clearance  
The minimum cabinet size for accommodating an EX8208  
switch is 23.62 in. (60 cm) wide and 30.0 in. (76.2 cm) deep.  
Large cabinets improve airflow and reduce the chance of  
overheating. To accommodate a single EX8208 switch in  
a four-post rack, the cabinet must be at least 14 U high (or  
15 U if you install the power cord tray, which is optional for  
the four-post rack). To accommodate a single EX8208  
switch in a two-post rack, the cabinet must be at least 15  
U high.  
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks,  
Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number  
EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry  
Association (http://www.eia.org).  
With adequate cooling air and airflow clearance, you can  
stack three EX8208 switches in a cabinet with a four-post  
rack that has at least 42 U of usable vertical space. (45 U  
are required if you install the optional power cord tray.) You  
can stack three EX8208 switches in a cabinet with a  
two-post rack that has at least 45 U of usable vertical space  
(for two-post rack installations, installing the power cord  
tray is mandatory). In all cases, the rack must meet the  
strength requirements to support the weight.  
The minimum total clearance inside the cabinet is 29.2 in.  
(74.17 cm) between the inside of the front door and the  
inside of the rear door.

Table 40: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications for an EX8208 Switch (continued)  
Cabinet Requirement  
Guidelines for the EX8208 Switch  
Cabinet airflow requirements  
When you mount the switch on a cabinet, ensure that  
ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent  
overheating. Consider the following requirements list when  
planning for chassis cooling:  
Ensure that the cool air supply you provide through the  
cabinet adequately dissipates the thermal output of the  
switch (or switches).  
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air  
to exit the cabinet without recirculating into the switch. An  
open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air  
exhaust extraction from the top allows the best airflow  
through the chassis. If the cabinet contains a top or doors,  
perforations in these elements assist with removing the hot  
air exhaust. For an illustration of chassis airflow, see  
The switch fans exhaust hot air through the right side of the  
chassis (the left side when you face the front of the chassis,  
where the fan tray slides in). Install the switch in the cabinet  
in a way that maximizes the open space on the fan tray side  
of the chassis. This maximizes the clearance for critical  
airflow.  
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of  
airflow to and from the chassis.  
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows  
for the proper clearance around the switch and rack as

Understanding EX8200 Switch Fiber-Optic Cable Signal Loss, Attenuation, and  
Dispersion  
To determine the power budget and power margin needed for fiber-optic connections,  
you need to understand how signal loss, attenuation, and dispersion affect transmission.  
Juniper Networks EX8200 Ethernet Switches use various types of network cable, including  
multimode and single-mode fiber-optic cable.  
Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cable  
Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally  
(bounce off the walls of the fiber). Interfaces with multimode optics typically use LEDs  
as light sources. However, LEDs are not coherent light sources. They spray varying  
wavelengths of light into the multimode fiber, which reflects the light at different angles.  
Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing signal dispersion.  
When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding (layers of lower  
refractive index material in close contact with a core material of higher refractive index),  
higher-order mode loss (HOL) occurs. Together, these factors reduce the transmission  
distance of multimode fiber compared to that of single-mode fiber.  
Single-mode fiber is so small in diameter that rays of light reflect internally through one  
layer only. Interfaces with single-mode optics use lasers as light sources. Lasers generate  
a single wavelength of light, which travels in a straight line through the single-mode fiber.  
Compared to multimode fiber, single-mode fiber has a higher bandwidth and can carry  
signals for longer distances. It is consequently more expensive.  
For information about the maximum transmission distance and supported wavelength  
range for the types of single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cables that are connected  
to line cards on the EX8200 switches, see “Optical Interface Support in EX8200 Switches”  
on page 60. Exceeding the maximum transmission distances can result in significant  
signal loss, which causes unreliable transmission.  
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable  
An optical data link functions correctly provided that modulated light reaching the receiver  
has enough power to be demodulated correctly. Attenuation is the reduction in strength  
of the light signal during transmission. Passive media components such as cables, cable  
splices, and connectors cause attenuation. Although attenuation is significantly lower  
for optical fiber than for other media, it still occurs in both multimode and single-mode  
transmission. An efficient optical data link must transmit enough light to overcome  
attenuation.  
Dispersion is the spreading of the signal over time. The following two types of dispersion  
can affect signal transmission through an optical data link:  
Chromatic dispersion, which is the spreading of the signal over time caused by the  
different speeds of light rays.

Chapter 6: Cable Requirements  
Modal dispersion, which is the spreading of the signal over time caused by the different  
propagation modes in the fiber.  
For multimode transmission, modal dispersion, rather than chromatic dispersion or  
attenuation, usually limits the maximum bit rate and link length. For single-mode  
transmission, modal dispersion is not a factor. However, at higher bit rates and over longer  
distances, chromatic dispersion limits the maximum link length.  
An efficient optical data link must have enough light to exceed the minimum power that  
the receiver requires to operate within its specifications. In addition, the total dispersion  
must be within the limits specified for the type of link in Telcordia Technologies document  
GR-253-CORE (Section 4.3) and International Telecommunications Union (ITU)  
document G.957.  
When chromatic dispersion is at the maximum allowed, its effect can be considered as  
a power penalty in the power budget. The optical power budget must allow for the sum  
of component attenuation, power penalties (including those from dispersion), and a  
safety margin for unexpected losses.

AC Power Cord Specifications for an EX8200 Switch  
Each AC power supply has a single AC appliance inlet located on the power supply that  
requires a dedicated AC power feed. Most sites distribute power through a main conduit  
that leads to frame-mounted power distribution panels, one of which can be located at  
the top of the rack that houses the switch. An AC power cord connects each power supply  
to the power distribution panel.  
Each detachable AC power cord is 2.5 meters (approximately 8 feet) long. The appliance  
coupler at the female end of the cord inserts into the AC appliance inlet on the faceplate  
of the AC power supply. The coupler type is C19 as described by the International  
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320. The plug at the male end of the  
power cord fits into the power source outlet that is standard for your geographical location.  
NOTE: In North America, AC power cords must not exceed 4.5 meters (approximately  
15 feet) in length, to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) Sections 400-8 (NFPA  
75, 5-2.2) and 210-52 and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 4-010(3). The cords  
shipped with the switch are in compliance.

Calculating Power Requirements for an EX8208 Switch  
Use the information in this topic to calculate power consumption, system thermal output,  
and number of power supplies required for different EX8208 switch configurations.  
Before you begin these calculations:  
Ensure you understand the different switch configurations. See “EX8208 Switch

Chapter 7: Planning Power Requirements  
This topic describes these tasks:  
Calculating the Power Consumption of Your EX8208 Switch Configuration  
Use the following procedure to determine the maximum power you need to supply to  
the switch. To calculate maximum system power consumption, you first determine the  
combined maximum internal power requirements of all the switch components and then  
divide this result by the power supply efficiency.  
To calculate maximum system power consumption:  
1.  
Determine the maximum power consumption of the base chassis components (that  
is, the components other than the line cards):  
Use Table 48 on page 115 if your switch is configured for N+1 power redundancy or  
if your switch is configured for N+N power redundancy and is running Junos OS  
Release 10.1 or earlier.  
Use Table 49 on page 116 only if your switch is running Junos OS Release 10.2 or  
later and power management is configured for N+N power redundancy.  
NOTE: In Junos OS Release 10.2 or later, if power management is configured for N+N  
redundancy, the maximum fan speed is lowered, reducing the chassis’ maximum power  
consumption.

2. Calculate the maximum internal power consumption of the entire switch by adding  
in the power requirements of each line card.  
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using N+1  
power redundancy, the maximum internal power consumption:  
= (chassis watts) + 8 (8-port SFP+ line card watts)  
= (1600 W + 8 (450 W))  
= (1600 W + 3600 W)  
= 5200 W  
3. Calculate the maximum system power consumption by dividing the maximum  
internal power consumption by the efficiency of the power supply. This accounts for  
the loss of energy within the power supply.  
NOTE: The efficiency of a 2000 W AC power supply is approximately 90 percent when  
input is high-voltage line (200–240 VAC).  
The efficiency of a 2000 W AC power supply is approximately 87 percent when input  
is low-voltage line (100–120 VAC).  
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using N+1  
power redundancy with high-voltage line input, the maximum system power  
consumption:  
= (maximum internal power consumption) / (power supply efficiency)  
= (5200 W) / (0.90)  
= 5778 W  
Calculating System Thermal Output for Your EX8208 Switch Configuration  
Use the following procedure to calculate the system thermal output in British thermal  
units (BTU) per hour for your switch configuration.

Chapter 7: Planning Power Requirements  
To calculate the system thermal output:  
1.  
Determine the maximum system power consumption of your switch in watts. See  
page 115 for how to do so.  
2. Multiply the maximum system power consumption by 3.41.  
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using N+1  
power redundancy with high-voltage line input, the system thermal output:  
= (maximum system power consumption) x (3.41)  
= (5778 W) x (3.41) =  
= 19,703 BTU/hr  
NOTE: Using the maximum system power consumption values to calculate the system  
thermal output often results in overprovisioning the cooling systems. Typical power  
consumption is about one-third lower than these calculated values.  
Calculating the Number of Power Supplies Required for Your EX8208 Switch Configuration  
Use this procedure to calculate the number of power supplies required by your switch  
configuration. The required power configuration for EX8208 switches is N+1. You can  
optionally configure your switch for N+N configuration. For example, you might want  
dual power feed redundancy with AC power supplies, which requires an N+N configuration.

Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches  
To calculate the number of power supplies required for your switch configuration:  
1.  
Determine the power requirement of the base chassis (that is, the combined power  
requirements of the fan tray, SRE module or modules, and the SF module) by  
consulting Table 50 on page 118.  
The watt values shown in Table 50 on page 118 are the amount of power reserved  
by power management for the chassis in its power budget. It uses these values when  
calculating used and available power and when determining whether sufficient  
power exists to meet N, N+1, or N+N requirements.  
Starting with Junos OS Release 10.2, when power management is configured for  
N+N power redundancy, it reserves less power for the chassis so that more power  
is available for line cards.

Earlier  
Junos OS Release 10.2 or  
Later  
N+1 Configuration  
N+N Configuration  
1600 W  
1600 W  
1600 W  
1200 W  
NOTE: The amount of power that power management reserves for the chassis is a set  
value that does not vary depending on chassis components installed. The reserved  
power is the same for base and redundant configurations and for switches that do not  
have all base chassis components installed.  
2. To the power reserved for the chassis, add the power requirements of the line cards.  
For line card power requirements, refer to “Power Requirements for EX8208 Switch  
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using N+1  
power redundancy, the total power requirement:  
= reserved chassis power + 8 (8–port SFP + line cards)  
= 1600 W + 8 (450) W  
= 1600 W + 3600 W  
= 5200 W  
For a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards, using N+N power redundancy,  
and running Junos OS Release 10.2, the total power requirement:  
= reserved chassis power + 8 (8–port SFP + line cards)  
= 1200 W + 8 (450) W  
= 1200 W + 3600 W  
= 4800 W

Chapter 7: Planning Power Requirements  
3. Calculate the number of power supplies (N) required to meet the total power  
requirement by dividing the total power requirement by the output wattage of one  
power supply and then rounding up.  
NOTE: If the input is high-voltage line (200–220 VAC), the output wattage of a 2000  
W AC power supply is 2000 W.  
If the input is low-voltage line (100–120 VAC), the output wattage of a 2000 W AC  
power supply is 1200 W.  
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using N+1  
power redundancy with high-voltage line input , the required power supplies (N):  
= (total power requirement) / (output wattage of power supply)  
= (5200 W) / (2000 W)  
= 2.6  
= 3 (rounded up)  
For a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards, using N+N power redundancy  
with high-voltage line input, and running Junos OS Release 10.2, the required power  
supplies (N):  
= (total power requirement) / (output wattage of power supply)  
= (4800 W) / (2000 W)  
= 2.4  
= 3 (rounded up)  
4. Add the number of power supplies needed to achieve the required power redundancy:  
To achieve N+1 power redundancy, add a single power supply.  
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using  
high-voltage line input, the total number of power supplies:  
= N + 1  
= 3 + 1  
= 4  
To achieve N+N power redundancy, add N power supplies.  
For example, for a switch fully loaded with 8-port SFP+ line cards and using  
high-voltage line input, the total number of power supplies:  
= N + N  
= 3 + 3  
= 6

NOTE: We recommend that you maintain N +1 or N+N power supplies in your switch  
at all times. Replace failed power supplies immediately to prevent unexpected failures.  
Power management raises a minor alarm if the number of online power supplies in your  
switch is less than the number required to maintain the configured power redundancy  
(N+1 in Junos OS Release 10.1 or earlier; N+1 or N+N in Junos OS Release 10.2 or later).  
If the problem is not corrected in 5 minutes, a major alarm is issued.  
Power management raises a major alarm if the number of online power supplies in your  
switch is less than N power supplies. If your switch is running Junos OS Release 10.1 or  
earlier, all line cards are powered off. If your switch is running Junos OS Release 10.2 or  
later, power management provides power to line cards in priority order until power is  
exhausted. The remaining line cards are powered off.  
If a new line card is installed in an operational switch, power management does not  
power on the line card if the increased power demand exceeds the total available power,  
including redundant power. If redundant power is used to power on the line card, a minor  
alarm is raised, which becomes a major alarm in 5 minutes if the condition is not  
corrected.

Calculating the EX8200 Switch Fiber-Optic Cable Power Budget  
Calculate the link's power budget when planning fiber-optic cable layout and distances  
to ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation. The  
power budget is the maximum amount of power the link can transmit. When you calculate  
the power budget, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though  
all the parts of an actual system do not operate at the worst-case levels.  
To calculate the worst-case estimate for fiber-optic cable power budget (P ) for the

Calculating the EX8200 Switch Fiber-Optic Cable Power Margin  
Calculate the link's power margin when planning fiber-optic cable layout and distances  
to ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient signal power to overcome system  
losses and still satisfy the minimum input requirements of the receiver for the required  
performance level. The power margin (P ) is the amount of power available after  
M
attenuation or link loss (LL) has been subtracted from the power budget (P ).  
B
When you calculate the power margin, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin  
of error, even though all the parts of an actual system do not operate at worst-case  
levels. A power margin (P ) greater than zero indicates that the power budget is sufficient  
M
to operate the receiver and that it does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.  
This means the link will work. A (P ) that is zero or negative indicates insufficient power  
M
to operate the receiver. See the specification for your receiver to find the maximum  
receiver input power.

Installing Adjustable Mounting Brackets in a Rack or Cabinet for an EX8200 Switch  
To mount the switch on a four-post rack or cabinet, you must first install the adjustable  
mounting brackets in the rack or cabinet. (The remainder of this topic uses “rack” to mean  
“rack or cabinet.) The EX8200 switch comes with a four-piece set of adjustable mounting  
brackets that supports the chassis in the rack.  
NOTE: The adjustable mounting brackets are not for installation in two-post racks.  
The four adjustable mounting bracket pieces are:  
1 left front adjustable mounting bracket. The bracket is labeled “LEFT FRONT” on the  
side of the bracket that faces the interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the  
bracket to the rack.  
1 right front adjustable mounting bracket. The bracket is labeled “RIGHT FRONT” on  
the side of the bracket that faces the interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching  
the bracket to the rack.  
2 rear adjustable mounting brackets. These brackets are labeled “REAR” on the side  
of the bracket that faces the interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket  
to the rack. The rear brackets are interchangeable; you can use either of the rear brackets  
with the right or left front adjustable mounting bracket.  
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the adjustable  
mounting brackets:  
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1, 2, or 3, depending on the size of your rack mounting

CAUTION: If you are installing more than one switch in a rack or cabinet, install the first  
switch at the bottom of the rack.  
To install the switch using a mechanical lift (see Figure 48 on page 142):  
1.  
Ensure that the rack or cabinet is placed in its permanent location and is secured to  
the building. Ensure that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both  
airflow and maintenance. For details, see “Clearance Requirements for Airflow and  
2. Load the switch onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.

rails. The adjustable mounting brackets installed in the rack ensure that the holes  
in the front-mounting brackets align with the holes in the rack rails.  
In a two-post rack, carefully slide the switch into the rack ensuring that the front  
bottom of the chassis rests on the lip of the power cord tray. The front-mounting  
brackets (“ears”) prevent the chassis from tipping too far back.  
6. Move the lift away from the rack.  
7.  
In a four-post rack, slide the chassis so that the front-mounting bracket is flush with  
the front of the rack.  
In a two-post rack, push the bottom of the chassis so that the front-mounting bracket  
is flush with the front of the rack.  
8. Install a mounting screw into each of the open front-mounting holes aligned with  
the rack, starting from the bottom.  
9. Visually inspect the alignment of the switch. If the switch is installed properly in the  
rack, all the mounting screws on one side of the rack are aligned with the mounting  
screws on the opposite side and the switch is level.  
10. After ensuring that the switch is aligned properly, tighten the screws.

Mounting an EX8208 Switch on a Rack or Cabinet Without Using a Mechanical Lift  
If you cannot use a mechanical lift to install the switch (the preferred method), you can  
install it manually.  
CAUTION: The chassis with only the backplane and no other components weighs  
approximately 89 lb (41 kg). Lifting the chassis and mounting it in a rack or cabinet  
requires at least three people.  
The chassis has two handles. Do not lift a fully loaded chassis by the handles; make  
sure the chassis is empty (contains only the backplane) before you lift it. If two of the  
people lifting the chassis use the handles to lift it, the third person must lift from the  
rear of the chassis. The rear of the chassis is heavier than the front of the chassis, so  
when you lift the chassis by the handles, the chassis tips toward the heavier back end.  
The person lifting from the back must be aware of this behavior and must be braced to  
prevent the chassis from tipping over.  
When lifting the chassis, do not grasp the switch by the blue panel at the top front of  
the chassis. Doing so can cause the panel to pop off of the switch.

hot-swapping a transceiver, wait for at least 10 seconds after removing the transceiver  
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.  
CAUTION: Before you slide the transceiver into the port, ensure the transceiver is aligned  
correctly. Misalignment might cause the pins to bend, making the transceiver unusable.  
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.

4. Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess  
cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables  
maintain their shape.  
CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. An arc  
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that  
are difficult to diagnose.  
Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened loops  
of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the fastening point.

Connecting the Switch  
Connecting Earth Ground to an EX Series Switch  
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure  
proper operation, you must connect the switches to earth ground before you connect  
them to power.  
For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the  
protective earthing terminal on the EX Series switch chassis to connect to the earth  
ground (see Figure 64 on page 167).  
Figure 64: Connecting a Grounding Cable to an EX Series Switch  
Before you connect earth ground to the protective earthing terminal of an EX Series  
switch, ensure that a licensed electrician has attached an appropriate grounding lug to  
the grounding cable.

5. Ensure that the power source circuit breaker is open so that the voltage across the  
DC power source cable leads is 0 V and that the cable leads do not become active  
while you are connecting DC power.  
6. Verify that the DC power cables are correctly labeled before making connections to  
the power supply. In a typical power distribution scheme where the return is connected  
to chassis ground at the battery plant, you can use a multimeter to verify the  
resistance of the –48V and RTN DC cables to chassis ground:  
The cable with very high resistance (indicating an open circuit) to chassis ground  
is negative (–) and will be installed on the –48V (input) DC power input terminal.  
The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground  
is positive (+) and will be installed on the RTN (return) DC power input terminal.  
CAUTION: You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper polarity. The  
power source cables might be labeled (+) and (–) to indicate their polarity. There is no  
standard color coding for DC power cables. The color coding used by the external DC  
power source at your site determines the color coding for the leads on the power cables  
that attach to the DC power input terminals on each power supply.  
7.  
Install each power cable lug on the DC power input terminal, securing it first with a  
locking washer, then with the nut (see Figure 69 on page 179). Apply between 29 in.-lb  
(3.3 Nm) and 31 in.-lb (3.5 Nm) of torque to each nut. (Use the 3/8-in. [9.5 mm] nut  
driver or socket wrench.)  
a. Secure each positive (+) DC source power cable lug to the RTN (return) DC  
power input terminal.  
b. Secure each negative (–) DC source power cable lug to the –48V (input) DC  
power input terminal.  
Each power supply has two independent sets of DC power input terminals (A: –48V  
A: RTN and B: – 48V B: RTN ). For feed redundancy, each power supply should be  
powered by dedicated power feeds derived from feed A and feed B. This configuration  
provides the commonly deployed A/B feed redundancy for the switch.  
NOTE: If the power cord tray is installed, you can thread the DC power cables through  
the power cord tray.

Performing Initial Configuration  
EX8200 Switch Default Configuration  
Each EX8200 switch is programmed with a factory default configuration that contains  
the values set for each configuration parameter when a switch is shipped. The default  
configuration file sets values for system parameters such as the ARP aging timer, the  
system log, and file messages, while also enabling the LLDP protocol, the RSTP protocol,  
IGMP snooping, and storm control.  
When you commit changes to the configuration, a new configuration file is created that  
becomes the active configuration. You can always revert to the factory default  
configuration. See Reverting to the Default Factory Configuration for the EX Series Switch.  
This topic shows the factory default configuration file of an EX8200 switch:

CAUTION: The chassis with only the backplane and no other components weighs  
approximately 89 lb (41 kg). Lifting the chassis and removing it from a rack or cabinet  
requires at least three people.  
The chassis has two handles. Do not lift a fully loaded chassis by the handles; make  
sure the chassis is empty before you lift it. If two of the people lifting the chassis use  
the handles to lift it, the third person must lift from the rear of the chassis. The rear of  
the chassis is heavier than the front of the chassis, so when you lift the chassis by the  
handles, the chassis tips toward the heavier back end. The person lifting from the back  
must be aware of this behavior and must be braced to prevent the chassis from tipping  
over.  
When lifting the chassis, do not grasp the switch by the blue panel at the top front of  
the chassis. Doing so can cause the panel to pop off of the switch.  
CAUTION: When removing more than one switch from a rack, remove the switch at the  
top first. We strongly recommend removing a switch that is in an upper position in a  
rack or cabinet with a lift.  
Before you remove the switch:  
Ensure that the rack or cabinet is stable and secured to the building.  
Ensure that there is enough space to place the removed switch in its new location and  
along the path to the new location.  
Review chassis lifting guidelines as described in “Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX8200  
Ensure that the switch has been safely powered off (see “Powering Off an EX8200

1.  
Determine whether the SRE module is the master or backup using one of these  
methods:  
Look at the MS (master) LED on the SRE module faceplate. If the MS LED is lit  
steady green, the SRE module is the master. If it is blinking green, the SRE module  
is the backup.  
Issue the following CLI command:  
user@switch> show chassis routing-engine  
Routing Engine status:  
Slot 0: Current state Master  
Election priority Master (default) ...  
2. If the SRE module that you want to remove is the master, make it the backup module:  
user@switch> request chassis routing-engine master switch  
3. From the master, halt the other Routing Engine:  
user@switch> request system halt other-routing-engine  
4. Wait a minute or two for the Routing Engine to halt before proceeding. If you are  
using a console connection, you will see a message when the system is halted. If the  
Routing Engine has not yet halted, the following step returns an error.  
5. Take the SRE module offline:  
user@switch> request chassis cb offline slot slot-number  
where slot-number is either 0 (slot SRE0) or 1 (slot SRE1).  
6. (Optional) Confirm that the SRE module is offline:  
user@switch> show chassis environment cb  
If the state field in the command output shows that the module is offline, then it is safe  
to remove the SRE module.  
Taking an SRE Module Offline in a Switch With One SRE Module  
To take the SRE module offline:  
Connect to the console port on the SRE module.  
1.  
2. From the console, halt the SRE module:  
user@switch> request system halt  
The RE module is gracefully halted but not powered off.  
When a message appears confirming that the operating system has halted, it is safe to  
remove the SRE module. The Routing Engine might take up to 5 minutes to gracefully  
halt.

Removing a Transceiver from an EX Series Switch  
The transceivers for EX Series switches are hot-removable and hot-insertable  
field-replaceable units (FRUs): You can remove and replace them without powering off  
the switch or disrupting switch functions.  
Before you begin removing a transceiver from an EX Series switch, ensure that you have  
taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety  
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:  
An antistatic bag or an antistatic mat  
Needlenose pliers  
Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector  
A dust cover to cover the port  
Figure 91 on page 223 shows how to remove an SFP transceiver. The procedure is the same  
for all transceiver types.  
To remove a transceiver from an EX Series switch:  
1.  
Place the antistatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.  
2. Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect it correctly.  
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of  
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to  
transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

Chapter 13: Removing Switch Components  
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.  
CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. An arc  
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that  
are difficult to diagnose.  
3. Remove the cable connected to the transceiver (see “Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic  
Cable from an EX Series Switch” on page 221). Cover the transceiver and the end of  
each fiber-optic cable connector with a rubber safety cap immediately after  
disconnecting the fiber-optic cables.  
4. Using your fingers, pull the ejector lever on the transceiver to unlock the transceiver.  
CAUTION: Before removing the transceiver, make sure you open the ejector lever  
completely until you hear it click. This prevents damage to the transceiver.  
5. Using the needlenose pliers, pull the ejector lever out from the transceiver.  
6. Grasp the transceiver ejector lever and gently slide the transceiver approximately  
0.5 in. (1.3 cm) straight out of the port.  
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the transceiver, do not  
touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.  
7.  
Using your fingers, grasp the body of the transceiver and pull it straight out of the  
port.  
8. Place the transceiver in the antistatic bag or on the antistatic mat placed on a flat,  
stable surface.  
9. Place the dust cover over the empty port.

Removing the Power Cord Tray from a Rack or Cabinet for an EX8200 Switch  
You can remove the power cord tray from a rack or cabinet. (The remainder of this topic  
uses “rack” to mean “rack or cabinet.)  
In two-post rack installations, we recommend that you do not remove the power cord  
tray unless you are also removing the switch and that you remove the switch before you  
remove the power cord tray.  
NOTE: The EX8216 switch can be installed only in a four-post rack. Installation in a  
two-post rack is not supported.  
If you remove the power cord tray before removing the EX8208 switch from a two-post  
rack, there is no support for the underside of the switch. This creates a problem if and  
when you need to remove the switch, because the chassis has no support once you  
remove the screws that hold the front-mounting brackets to the rack. In a four-post rack  
this is not an issue because the switch rests on the adjustable mounting brackets.  
Before you begin to remove the power cord tray:  
Ensure no power cables are resting on or threaded through the power cord tray.  
Remove the switch if the switch and power cord tray are installed on a two-post rack.  
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to remove the power cord  
tray:  
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1, 2, or 3, depending on the size of your rack mounting  
screws  
To remove the power cord tray:  
1.  
Use the appropriate Phillips (+) screwdriver to remove the four mounting screws  
that hold the power cord tray in the rack.  
2. Remove the power cord tray and store it in the original switch accessory box for later  
use.

Handling and Storing Line Cards in EX8200 Switches  
Components in the line cards are fragile. To avoid damaging the line cards, follow the  
procedures in this topic. The procedures use the following terms to describe the four  
edges of the line cards (see Figure 92 on page 227):  
Figure 92: Edges of the Line Cards in an EX8200 Switch  
Faceplate—Edge of the line card that has connectors into which you insert the  
transceivers or RJ-45 cables.  
Connector edge—Edge opposite the faceplate.  
Top edge—Edge at the top of the line card when the line card is vertical.  
Bottom edge—Edge at the bottom of the line card when the line card is vertical.  
CAUTION: Failure to handle line cards as specified in these procedures can cause  
irreparable damage to them.  
This topic describes the following tasks:

Holding a Line Card  
You must hold a line card horizontally when installing it in the chassis. You may hold a  
line card vertically or horizontally when carrying it.  
CAUTION: The line cards in EX8200 switches weigh more than 10 lb (4.5 kg). Be  
prepared to support the full weight as you slide the line card into the chassis.  
To hold a line card vertically:  
1.  
Orient the line card so that the faceplate faces you. To verify the orientation, confirm  
that the text on the line card is right-side up.  
2. Place one hand around the line card faceplate about a quarter of the way down from  
the top edge. Do not press hard on it.  
3. Place the other hand at the bottom edge of the line card.  
If the line card is horizontal before you grasp it, place your left hand around the faceplate  
and your right hand along the bottom edge.  
To hold a line card horizontally:  
1.  
Orient the line card so that the faceplate faces you.  
2. Grasp the top edge with your left hand and the bottom edge with your right hand.  
You can rest the faceplate of the line card against your body as you carry it.  
CAUTION: Take care not to hit the line card against any object as you carry it. Line card  
components are fragile.  
Never hold or grasp the line card anywhere except the places mentioned in these  
procedures. In particular, never grasp the connector edge (see Figure 93 on page 229).

Chapter 14: Routine Maintenance  
Figure 93: Do Not Grasp the Connector Edge  
Never carry the line card while holding the faceplate with only one hand.  
Do not rest any edge of a line card directly against a hard surface (see Figure 94 on

Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches  
If you must rest a line card temporarily on an edge, place a cushion between the edge  
and the surface.  
Do not stack line cards on top of one another or on top of any other component. Place  
each line card separately in an antistatic bag or on an antistatic mat placed on a flat,  
stable surface.  
Storing a Line Card  
You must store a line card in the chassis or in a spare shipping container, horizontally and  
sheet metal side down. Do not stack line cards on top of one another or on top of any  
other component. Place each line card separately in an antistatic bag or on an antistatic  
mat placed on a flat, stable surface.  
NOTE: Because the line card is heavy, and because antistatic bags are fragile, inserting  
the line card into the bag is best done with two people, each to do one of the following  
steps.  
To insert a line card into an antistatic bag:  
1.  
Hold the line card in the horizontal position with the faceplate facing you.  
2. Slide the opening of the bag over the line card connector edge.  
If you must insert the line card into a bag by yourself:  
1.  
Lay the line card horizontally on a flat, stable surface, sheet metal side down.  
2. Orient the line card with the faceplate facing you.  
3. Carefully insert the line card connector edge into the opening of the bag and pull the  
bag toward you to cover the line card.

Chapter 14: Routine Maintenance  
Maintaining Line Card Cables in EX8200 Switches  
Components in the line cards are fragile. To extend the lives of your line card cables and  
to avoid problems that can result from cable damage, follow these procedures:  
To maintain line card cables in EX8200 switches:  
Place excess cable out of the way. Do not allow fastened loops of cable to dangle  
from the connector. Placing fasteners on the loops helps retain their shape.  
Keep the cable connections clean and free of dust and other particles, which can cause  
drops in the received power level. Always inspect cables and clean them if necessary  
before connecting an interface.  
Label both ends of line card cables to identify them.  
Related Topics  
Maintaining Fiber-Optic Cables in EX Series Switches  
Fiber-optic cables connect to optical transceivers that are installed in EX Series switches.  
To maintain fiber-optic cables:  
When you unplug a fiber-optic cable from a transceiver, place rubber safety caps over  
the transceiver and on the end of the cable.  
Anchor fiber-optic cables to avoid stress on the connectors. When attaching a  
fiber-optic cable to a transceiver, be sure to secure the fiber-optic cable so that it is  
not supporting its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Never let a fiber-optic cable hang  
free from the connector.  
Avoid bending fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending fiber-optic  
cables into arcs smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and  
cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.  
Frequent plugging and unplugging of fiber-optic cables in and out of optical instruments  
can damage the instruments, which are expensive to repair. Attach a short fiber  
extension to the optical equipment. Any wear and tear due to frequent plugging and

231  
   
Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches  
unplugging is then absorbed by the short fiber extension, which is easier and less  
expensive to replace than the instruments.  
Keep fiber-optic cable connections clean. Micro-deposits of oil and dust in the canal  
of the transceiver or cable connector can cause loss of light, reduction in signal power,  
and possibly intermittent problems with the optical connection.  
To clean the transceiver canal, use an appropriate fiber-cleaning device such as RIFOCS  
Fiber Optic Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the directions in the  
cleaning kit you use.  
After cleaning the transceiver, make sure that the connector tip of the fiber-optic cable  
is clean. Use only an approved alcohol-free fiber-optic cable cleaning kit such as the  
Opptex Cletop-S® Fiber Cleaner. Follow the directions in the cleaning kit you use.

Chapter 14: Routine Maintenance  
Removing a Battery from an EX8208 Switch for Recycling  
The EX8208 switch contains a CR2032 2.7-volt lithium battery on each Switch Fabric  
and Routing Engine (SRE) module installed in the chassis. The coin-shaped battery is  
approximately 0.75in. (20 mm) in diameter. The battery is estimated to last for over 50  
years.  
A base configuration switch has one SRE module, and a redundant configuration switch  
has two modules installed. Before recycling an SRE module or the switch chassis, remove  
the battery from each SRE module for battery recycling.  
Before you begin to remove the battery:  
Power off the switch or take the SRE module offline. If only one SRE module is installed  
in a powered-on switch, you must halt the module before removing it. See Taking the  
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:  
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap  
To remove the battery from an SRE module in the switch (see Figure 95 on page 234):  
1.  
Attach the antistatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect  
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.  
2. Locate the SRE module in the switch chassis.  
3. With the screwdriver, loosen the captive screws on each side of the SRE module by  
turning them counterclockwise until they are completely unseated.  
4. Pull both ejector levers outwards, away from the faceplate of the SRE module, until  
they go no further. This action causes the module to slide slightly out of the chassis.  
5. Grasp the ejector levers, and pull the SRE module out to about halfway.  
6. Place one hand underneath the module to support it, and slide it completely out of  
the chassis.  
7.  
Locate the coin-shaped CR2032 battery on the right side of the module near the  
third post (see Figure 95 on page 234).  
8. With your finger, pry the battery out of its socket.  
9. If you are recycling the entire chassis of a redundant configuration, repeat Steps 2  
through 8 for the second SRE module.  
10. Recycle the battery or batteries as required.

Troubleshooting Line Card Installation on EX8200 Switches  
Problem The ON LED on a line card does not blink in green or is not lit steadily after the line card  
is installed in an EX8200 switch.  
Cause One or both of these has caused these problems:  
The switch does not have sufficient power to power the line card while maintaining its  
N+1 or N+N power configuration.  
The line card is not seated correctly in the slot in the switch chassis.  
Solution 1.  
If the ON LED does not blink in green:  
Ensure the switch has sufficient power to power the line card while maintaining  
its N+1 or N+N power configuration:  
To determine the power requirements of the line card, see “Power Requirements  
for EX8208 Switch Components” on page 111 or Power Requirements for EX8216  
Switch Components.  
To determine whether the switch has enough power available for the line card,  
use the show chassis power-budget-statistics command if your switch is running  
Junos OS Release 10.2 or later. If your switch is running Junos OS Release 10.1 or  
or Calculating Power Requirements for an EX8216 Switch to calculate the  
available power.  
If the ON LED does not blink still, remove the line card (see “Removing a Line Card  
2. If the ON LED blinks in green, but is not lit steadily, tighten the captive screws on the  
faceplate of the line card.

Locating the Serial Number on an EX8200 Switch or Component  
If you are returning a switch or hardware component to Juniper Networks for repair or  
replacement, you must locate the serial number of the switch or component. You must  
provide the serial number to the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC)  
when you contact them to obtain Return Materials Authorization (RMA). See “Contacting  
If the switch is operational and you can access the command-line interface (CLI), you  
can list serial numbers for the switch and for some components with a CLI command. If  
you do not have access to the CLI or if the serial number for the component does not  
appear in the command output, you can locate the serial number ID label on the physical  
switch or component.  
NOTE: If you want to find the serial number on the physical switch component, you will  
need to remove the component from the switch chassis, for which you must have the  
required parts and tools available. See “Installing and Removing EX8208 Switch

Chapter 16: Returning the Switch or Switch Components  
This topic describes:  
Packing an EX8200 Switch  
If you need to transport the switch to another location or return the switch to Juniper  
Networks, you need to pack the switch securely in its original packaging to prevent damage  
during transportation.  
Before you pack the switch:  
1.  
2. Remove all wires, plugs, and power cords from the switch.  
3. Remove all line cards and pack them in their original shipping containers. See “Packing  
4. Install cover panels over blank slots.  
Leave components that came installed in the chassis in the chassis.  
NOTE: Any line cards ordered with the switch are shipped separately. Do not pack any  
line cards with the switch.  
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to pack the switch:  
A 7/16-in. or 11-mm open-end or socket wrench to install the bracket bolts on the chassis  
and shipping pallet  
The original switch packing material (wooden pallet, cardboard box, accessory box  
and its contents, foam padding, and brackets and bracket bolts for attaching the  
chassis to the pallet)  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap  
The EX8200 switch is shipped in a cardboard box that has a two-layer wooden pallet  
base with foam cushioning between the layers. The switch chassis is bolted to the pallet  
base with 4 pallet fasteners, 2 on each side of the chassis.  
CAUTION: The switch is maximally protected inside the shipping box. Pack the switch  
only in its original shipping box, securely bolted to the original wooden shipping pallet.  
Do not pack the switch in anything except its original container or the switch might be  
damaged in transit.

Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches  
To pack the switch (see Figure 112 on page 258):  
1.  
Move the wooden pallet and packing material to a staging area as close to the switch  
as possible. Make sure there is enough space to move the chassis from the rack or  
cabinet to the wooden pallet.  
2. Remove the switch from the rack or cabinet. For EX8208 switches, see “Removing  
Lift” on page 203). For EX8216 switches, see Removing an EX8216 Switch from a Rack  
or Cabinet.  
Move the chassis to the shipping pallet (see “Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX8200  
Switches” on page 276). Position the switch on the pallet so that the front of the  
switch is facing the silkscreened “front” mark on the pallet. The pallet also has crop  
marks to guide you in positioning the chassis.  
3. Use the 7/16-in. or 11-mm open-end or socket wrench to install the four sets of  
brackets and bolts that secure the chassis to the wooden pallet.  
4. Slide the plastic cover over the switch chassis. The plastic cover is part of the switch’s  
original packing materials.  
5. Replace the foam padding on top of the chassis.  
6. Place the power cords in the box.  
7.  
Remove the adjustable mounting brackets from the rack or cabinet and place them  
and their connecting screws in the accessory box.  
8. Place the accessory box in its slot in the foam padding. See “Parts Inventory (Packing  
List) for an EX8208 Switch” on page 130 or Parts Inventory (Packing List) for an  
EX8216 Switch to verify that you have included all the proper contents of the  
accessory box.  
9. Slide the cardboard box over the chassis, making sure that the arrows on the box  
point up and the pallet fasteners to secure the cardboard box to the wooden pallet  
are near the bottom.  
10. Attach the cardboard box to the wooden pallet using the four pallet fasteners  
attached to the pallet. See Figure 111 on page 257. Squeeze together the two ridges  
(“fins”) in the depression in each pallet fastener, then slide each fastener into its  
corresponding slot in the cardboard box and release the ridges to secure the latch.

CAUTION: Do not stack switch components. Return individual components in separate  
boxes if they do not fit together on one level in the shipping box.  
To pack EX8200 switch components:  
Place individual components in antistatic bags.  
Use the original packing materials if they are available. If the original packing materials  
are not available, ensure the component is adequately packed to prevent damage  
during transit. The packing material you use must be able to support the weight of the  
component.  
Ensure that the components are adequately protected by wrapping them well with  
packing materials. Pack the component in an oversized box (if the original box is not  
available) with extra packing material around the unit so that the component is  
prevented from moving around inside the box.  
Securely tape the box closed.  
Write the RMA number on the exterior of the box to ensure proper tracking.

Fire Safety Requirements for EX Series Switches  
In the event of a fire emergency involving switches and other network equipment, the  
safety of people is the primary concern. You should establish procedures for protecting  
people in the event of a fire emergency, provide safety training, and properly provision  
fire-control equipment and fire extinguishers.  
In addition, you should establish procedures to protect your equipment in the event of a  
fire emergency. Juniper Networks products should be installed in an environment suitable  
for electronic equipment. We recommend that fire suppression equipment be available  
in the event of a fire in the vicinity of the equipment and that all local fire, safety, and  
electrical codes and ordinances be observed when installing and operating your  
equipment.  
Fire Suppression  
In the event of an electrical hazard or an electrical fire, you should first turn power off to  
the equipment at the source. Then use a Type C fire extinguisher, which uses noncorrosive  
fire retardants, to extinguish the fire.  
Fire Suppression Equipment  
266

Chapter 17: General Safety Information  
Type C fire extinguishers, which use noncorrosive fire retardants such as carbon dioxide  
and Halotron™, are most effective for suppressing electrical fires. Type C fire extinguishers  
displace oxygen from the point of combustion to eliminate the fire. For extinguishing fire  
on or around equipment that draws air from the environment for cooling, you should use  
this type of inert oxygen displacement extinguisher instead of an extinguisher that leaves  
residues on equipment.  
Do not use multipurpose Type ABC chemical fire extinguishers (dry chemical fire  
extinguishers). The primary ingredient in these fire extinguishers is monoammonium  
phosphate, which is very sticky and difficult to clean. In addition, in the presence of minute  
amounts of moisture, monoammonium phosphate can become highly corrosive and  
corrodes most metals.  
Any equipment in a room in which a chemical fire extinguisher has been discharged is  
subject to premature failure and unreliable operation. The equipment is considered to  
be irreparably damaged.  
NOTE: To keep warranties effective, do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to  
control a fire at or near a Juniper Networks switch. If a dry chemical fire extinguisher is  
used, the unit is no longer eligible for coverage under a service agreement.  
We recommend that you dispose of any irreparably damaged equipment in an  
environmentally responsible manner.

Radiation and Laser Warnings  
Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for EX Series Switches  
EX Series switches are equipped with laser transmitters, which are considered a Class 1  
Laser Product by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and are evaluated as a Class 1  
Laser Product per EN 60825–1 requirements.  
Observe the following guidelines and warnings:  
General Laser Safety Guidelines  
When working around ports that support optical transceivers, observe the following  
safety guidelines to prevent eye injury:  
Do not look into unterminated ports or at fibers that connect to unknown sources.  
Do not examine unterminated optical ports with optical instruments.  
Avoid direct exposure to the beam.  
WARNING: Unterminated optical connectors can emit invisible laser radiation. The lens  
in the human eye focuses all the laser power on the retina, so focusing the eye directly  
on a laser source—even a low-power laser—could permanently damage the eye.

Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX8200 Switches  
The weight of a fully loaded EX8208 switch is approximately 284 lb (130 kg) and the  
weight of a fully loaded EX8216 switch is approximately 486 lb (220 kg). Observe the  
following guidelines for lifting and moving the switch:  
Before moving the switch to a site, ensure that the site meets the power, environmental,  
and clearance requirements specified in the “Site Preparation Checklist for an EX8200  
Do not attempt to lift the EX8208 switch by yourself. We recommend using a  
mechanical lift to install the EX8208 switch in a rack or cabinet. If you cannot use a  
lift, you must remove all components from the chassis before lifting and use a minimum  
of three people to lift the EX8208 switch chassis. For lifting and component removal  
WARNING: Because of the EX8216 switch’s size and weight, we require the use of a  
mechanical lift to install the EX8216 switch in a rack or cabinet or to move the switch  
from one location to another.  
CAUTION: The EX8208 switch chassis has two handles, one on each side of the chassis.  
Do not lift a fully loaded chassis by the handles; make sure the chassis is empty before  
you lift it. If two of the people lifting the chassis use the handles to lift it, a third person  
must lift from the rear of the chassis. The rear of the chassis is heavier than the front  
of the chassis, so when you lift the chassis by the handles the chassis tips toward the

Chapter 19: Installation and Maintenance Safety Information  
heavier back end. The person lifting from the back must be aware of this behavior and  
be braced to prevent the chassis from tipping over.  
Before lifting or moving the switch, disconnect all external cables and wires.  
Do not grasp the switch by the blue panel at the top front of the chassis. Doing so can  
cause the panel to detach from the switch.  
If you are lifting the EX8208 switch, as when lifting any heavy object, ensure that most  
of the weight is borne by your legs rather than your back. Keep your knees bent and  
your back relatively straight. Do not twist your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly  
among the people lifting the switch and be sure that your footing is firm.

Power and Electrical Safety Information  
General Electrical Safety Guidelines and Warnings for EX Series Switches  
WARNING: Certain ports on the switch are designed for use as intrabuilding  
(within-the-building) interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in  
GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed outside plant (OSP)  
cabling. To comply with NEBS requirements and protect against lightning surges and  
commercial power disturbances, the intrabuilding ports must not be metallically  
connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. The intrabuilding ports  
on the switch are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling  
only. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection for connecting these  
interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.  
CAUTION: Before removing or installing components of a switch, attach an ESD strap  
to an ESD point and place the other end of the strap around your bare wrist. Failure to  
use an ESD strap could result in damage to the switch.

Install the EX Series switch in compliance with the following local, national, and  
international electrical codes:  
United States—National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 70), United States  
National Electrical Code.  
Other countries—International Electromechanical Commission (IEC) 60364, Part 1  
through Part 7.  
Evaluated to the TN power system.  
Canada—Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.  
Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working so that  
if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly turn off the power.  
Make sure that grounding surfaces are cleaned and brought to a bright finish before  
grounding connections are made.  
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist anywhere in your workspace.  
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check the circuit before  
starting to work.  
Carefully look for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded  
power extension cords, and missing safety grounds.  
Operate the EX Series switch within marked electrical ratings and product usage  
instructions.  
To ensure that the EX Series switch and peripheral equipment function safely and  
correctly, use the cables and connectors specified for the attached peripheral  
equipment, and make certain they are in good condition.  
You can remove and replace many switch components without powering off or  
disconnecting power to the switch, as detailed elsewhere in the hardware documentation  
for this product. Never install equipment if it appears damaged.  
Related Topics  
Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on EX Series Switches  
Switch components that are shipped in antistatic bags are sensitive to damage from  
static electricity. Some components can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You  
can easily generate potentially damaging static voltages whenever you handle plastic  
or foam packing material or if you move components across plastic or carpets. Observe  
the following guidelines to minimize the potential for electrostatic discharge (ESD)  
damage, which can cause intermittent or complete component failures:

Chapter 20: Power and Electrical Safety Information  
Always use an ESD grounding strap when you are handling components that are subject  
to ESD damage, and make sure that it is in direct contact with your skin.  
If a grounding strap is not available, hold the component in its antistatic bag (see Figure  
113 on page 293) in one hand and touch the exposed, bare metal of the switch with the  
other hand immediately before inserting the component into the switch.  
WARNING: For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD strap. The  
measurement must be in the range of 1 through 10 Mohms.  
When handling any component that is subject to ESD damage and that is removed  
from the chassis, make sure the equipment end of your ESD strap is attached to the  
ESD point on the chassis.  
If no grounding strap is available, touch the exposed, bare metal of the switch to ground  
yourself before handling the component.  
Avoid contact between the component that is subject to ESD damage and your clothing.  
ESD voltages emitted from clothing can damage components.  
When removing or installing a component that is subject to ESD damage, always place  
it component-side up on an antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in an  
antistatic bag (see Figure 113 on page 293). If you are returning a component, place it in  
an antistatic bag before packing it.  
Figure 113: Place a Component into an Antistatic Bag  
CAUTION: ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 cables such as category 5e and category 6 can get  
electrostatically charged. In order to dissipate this charge, always ground the cables  
to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the system.

AFIN DE PRÉVENIR LES CHOCS ÉLECTRIQUES, DÉBRANCHER TOUT CORDON  
D'ALIMENTATION AVANT DE FAIRE LE DÉPANNAGE.”  
AC-powered switches are shipped with a three-wire electrical cord with a  
grounding-type plug that fits only a grounding-type power outlet. Do not circumvent  
this safety feature. Equipment grounding must comply with local and national electrical  
codes.  
You must provide an external certified circuit breaker rated minimum 20 A in the building  
installation.  
The power cord serves as the main disconnecting device for the switch. The socket  
outlet must be near the switch and be easily accessible.  
For EX Series switches that have more than one power supply connection, you must  
ensure that all power connections are fully disconnected so that power to the switch  
is completely removed to avoid electric shock. To disconnect power, unplug all power  
cords (one for each power supply).

DC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines for EX Series Switches  
The following electrical safety guidelines apply to a DC-powered switch:  
A DC-powered switch is equipped with a DC terminal block that is rated for the power  
requirements of a maximally configured switch.  
NOTE: To supply sufficient power, terminate the DC input wiring on a facility DC source  
capable of supplying at least 8 A at –48 VDC for EX3200 and EX4200 switches.  
To supply sufficient power, terminate the DC input wiring on a facility DC source capable  
of supplying at least 60 A at –48 VDC for EX8208 switches.  
To supply sufficient power, terminate the DC input wiring on a facility DC source capable  
of supplying at least 100 A at –48 VDC for EX8216 switches.  
Incorporate an easily accessible disconnect device into the facility wiring. Be sure to  
connect the ground wire or conduit to a solid office earth ground. A closed loop ring is  
recommended for terminating the ground conductor at the ground stud.  
Run two wires from the circuit breaker box to a source of 48 VDC.  
A DC-powered router that is equipped with a DC terminal block is intended only for  
installation in a restricted access location. In the United States, a restricted access  
area is one in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical  
Code ANSI/NFPA 70.  
NOTE: Primary overcurrent protection is provided by the building circuit breaker. This  
breaker must protect against excess currents, short circuits, and earth grounding faults  
in accordance with NEC ANSI/NFPA 70.  
Ensure that the polarity of the DC input wiring is correct. Under certain conditions,  
connections with reversed polarity might trip the primary circuit breaker or damage  
the equipment.  
For personal safety, connect the green and yellow wire to safety (earth) ground at both  
the switch and the supply side of the DC wiring.  
The marked input voltage of –48 VDC for a DC-powered switch is the nominal voltage  
associated with the battery circuit, and any higher voltages are only to be associated  
with float voltages for the charging function.  
Because the switch is a positive ground system, you must connect the positive lead to  
the terminal labeled RTN, the negative lead to the terminal labeled –48 VDC, and the  
earth ground to the chassis grounding points.

DC Power Wiring Terminations Warning for EX Series Switches  
WARNING: When stranded wiring is required, use approved wiring terminations, such  
as closed-loop or spade-type with upturned lugs. These terminations must be the  
appropriate size for the wires and must clamp both the insulation and conductor.  
Waarschuwing Wanneer geslagen bedrading vereist is, dient u bedrading te gebruiken  
die voorzien is van goedgekeurde aansluitingspunten, zoals het gesloten-lus type of  
het grijperschop type waarbij de aansluitpunten omhoog wijzen. Deze aansluitpunten  
dienen de juiste maat voor de draden te hebben en dienen zowel de isolatie als de  
geleider vast te klemmen.  
Varoitus Jos säikeellinen johdin on tarpeen, käytä hyväksyttyä johdinliitäntää, esimerkiksi  
suljettua silmukkaa tai kourumaista liitäntää, jossa on ylöspäin käännetyt kiinnityskorvat.  
Tällaisten liitäntöjen tulee olla kooltaan johtimiin sopivia ja niiden tulee puristaa yhteen  
sekä eristeen että johdinosan.  
Attention Quand des fils torsadés sont nécessaires, utiliser des douilles terminales  
homologuées telles que celles à circuit fermé ou du type à plage ouverte avec cosses  
rebroussées. Ces douilles terminales doivent être de la taille qui convient aux fils et  
doivent être refermées sur la gaine isolante et sur le conducteur.  
Warnung Wenn Litzenverdrahtung erforderlich ist, sind zugelassene  
Verdrahtungsabschlüsse, z.B. für einen geschlossenen Regelkreis oder gabelförmig,  
mit nach oben gerichteten Kabelschuhen zu verwenden. Diese Abschlüsse sollten die  
angemessene Größe für die Drähte haben und sowohl die Isolierung als auch den Leiter  
festklemmen.  
Avvertenza Quando occorre usare trecce, usare connettori omologati, come quelli a  
occhiello o a forcella con linguette rivolte verso l'alto. I connettori devono avere la  
misura adatta per il cablaggio e devono serrare sia l'isolante che il conduttore.  
Advarsel Hvis det er nødvendig med flertrådede ledninger, brukes godkjente  
ledningsavslutninger, som for eksempel lukket sløyfe eller spadetype med oppoverbøyde  
kabelsko. Disse avslutningene skal ha riktig størrelse i forhold til ledningene, og skal  
klemme sammen både isolasjonen og lederen.  
Aviso Quando forem requeridas montagens de instalação eléctrica de cabo torcido,  
use terminações de cabo aprovadas, tais como, terminações de cabo em circuito  
fechado e planas com terminais de orelha voltados para cima. Estas terminações de  
cabo deverão ser do tamanho apropriado para os respectivos cabos, e deverão prender  
simultaneamente o isolamento e o fio condutor.  
¡Atención! Cuando se necesite hilo trenzado, utilizar terminales para cables  
homologados, tales como las de tipo "bucle cerrado" o "espada", con las lengüetas de  
conexión vueltas hacia arriba. Estos terminales deberán ser del tamaño apropiado para  
los cables que se utilicen, y tendrán que sujetar tanto el aislante como el conductor.
