Disconnecting a Virtual Chassis Cable from an EX4200 Switch

If you need to disconnect an EX4200 switch from a Virtual Chassis configuration, you need to disconnect the Virtual Chassis cable from the Virtual Chassis ports (VCPs).

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

• A cross-head screwdriver (provided in the uplink module kit)

To disconnect a Virtual Chassis cable from an EX4200 switch (see Figure 1):

1. Loosen the screws on the cable connector retainer by using the cross-head screwdriver.
2. Slide the cable connector retainer back.
3. Gently pull the release pull tab on the Virtual Chassis cable connector to release the lock holding the Virtual Chassis cable connector in the Virtual Chassis port.
4. Gently pull the Virtual Chassis cable connector out of the Virtual Chassis port.

Note: If you order Virtual Chassis cables separately, you must reuse the cable connector retainers provided with the original cable or order Virtual Chassis cable connector retainers also separately.
