The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in an EX8216 switch are:

• Routing Engine (RE) modules
• Switch Fabric (SF) modules
• 8-port SFP+ line card
• 40-port SFP+ line card

The FRUs in an EX8216 switch are hot-insertable and hot-removable: you can remove and replace these components while the switch is functioning without turning off power to the switch or disrupting the switching function. However, we recommend that you take the RE modules and the line cards offline before you remove them. SF modules must be taken offline before removing them. See Field-Replaceable Units in an EX8216 Switch for details.
