Installing an SRX5800 Services Gateway SFP or XFP Transceiver
Small form-factor pluggable (SFPs) and XFPs are optical transceivers that are installed in an IOC, SPC, or port module. SFPs and XFPs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. Removing an SFP or XFP does not interrupt the functioning of the card, but the removed SFP or XFP no longer receives or transmits data.

Note: Juniper strongly recommends the use of Juniper transceivers. Juniper cannot guarantee correct operation if non-Juniper transceivers are used. The transceiver type can be different in each port, as long as a supported part number is used. |
To install an SFP or XFP:
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
- Take each transceiver to be installed out of its electrostatic bag and identify the slot on the component where it will be installed.
- Verify that each transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the transceiver with a safety cap.
- Carefully align the transceiver with the slots in the component. The connectors should face the component.
- Slide the transceiver until the connector is seated in the component slot. If you are unable to fully insert the transceiver, make sure the connector is facing the right way.
- Close the ejector handle of the transceiver.
- Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and the end of the cable. Insert the cable into the transceiver.
- Verify that the status LEDs on the component faceplate indicate that the SFP or XFP is functioning correctly.
