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).

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.
Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches
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
settings. See “LCD Panel in an EX8200 Switch” on page 17.
The EX8208 chassis backplane distributes the data, control, and management signals
to various system components along with distributing power throughout the system.
See “Chassis Physical Specifications of an EX8208 Switch” on page 9.
Switchingfunctionality,systemmanagement, and system controlfunctions of an EX8208
switch are performed by a Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) module. See “Switch
Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) Module in an EX8208 Switch” on page 24. An SRE
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
Switch Configurations” on page 6.
The Switch Fabric (SF) module, working with the SRE module, provides the necessary
switchingfunctionality to a baseconfiguration 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
Switch” on page 28.
Line Cards
Chapter 1: EX8208 Switch Overview
Cooling System
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: Thisline card has 40 10-gigabit SFP+ ports
on its faceplate in which you can install either SFP+ or SFP transceivers. See “40-port
SFP+ Line Card in an EX8200 Switch” on page 31.
•
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
EX8200 Switch” on page 33.
•
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
in an EX8200 Switch” on page 34.
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
in an EX8208 Switch” on page 53.
Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches
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 powerat high-voltageline (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-voltageline (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
Supplyin an EX8200 Switch”on page40 and “EX8208 SwitchConfigurations”on page 6.
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
configurationalso provides sufficient capacity for N+1 redundancy in most configurations;
if necessary,up to twoadditional DC supplies can be added to the system. See “DC Power
Supplyin an EX8200 Switch”on page48 and “EX8208 Switch Configurations”on page 6.
CAUTION: Mixing different types of power supplies in the same chassis is not supported.

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 on page 11
•
Routing Engine and Control Redundancy on page 12
•
Switch Fabric Redundancy on page 12
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 configuredfor gracefulswitchover, the backup SRE module
automatically synchronizes its configuration and state with those of the master SRE
module.Any update to the masterSRE 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 page55.) Each powersupply providespower
to all the components in the switch.
An N+1 power configurationis requiredfor 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
an EX8200 Switch” on page 40 and “DC PowerSupplyin an EX8200 Switch”on page 48.
•
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 operateindefinitely and provides sufficient cooling even when
a single fan fails provided the room temperature is within the operating range. See
“Cooling System and Airflow in an EX8208 Switch” on page 53.
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.
Table 3: Routing Engine and Control Redundancy for EX8208 Switches
configuration
configuration
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 installedand
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.

Table 4: Switch Fabric Redundancy for EX8208 Switches
An EX8208 chassis accepts eight line cards, two Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE)
modules, one Switch Fabric (SF) module, one fan tray, and six power supplies (AC or
DC). All 11 slots for the line cards and the modules run horizontallyacross the front of the
chassis. The fan tray slot runs vertically on the left of the chassis front. The six power
supply slots run vertically across the front bottom of the chassis.

Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) Module in an EX8208 Switch
The Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) module performs switching and system
management functions in an EX8208 switch. See Figure 7 on page 25.
You can install one or two SRE modules in an EX8208 switch. A base configuration
EX8208 switch has only one SRE module. See “EX8208 Switch Configurations” on
page 6. You can add a second SRE module to the configuration for Routing Engine and
switch control redundancy. See “Understanding EX8208 Switch Component and
Functionality Redundancy” on page 11.
The SRE modules install horizontally into the front of the chassis in slots labeled SRE0
and SRE1.
NOTE: We recommend that you install two SRE modules for redundancy. If you install
only one SRE module, we recommend that you install it in slot SRE0. See “Slot
Numbering for an EX8208 Switch” on page 13.
If two SRE modules are installed, one functions as the master and the other acts as the
backup.If the master SRE module fails or is removed, the backup takes overas the master.
If two SRE modules are installed, the backup SRE module is hot-insertable and
hot-removable, but the master SRE module is hot-pluggable. If only one SRE module is
installed, you must halt the SRE module before removing it.
The SRE module provides these functions:
•
Provides full fabric connectivity to all line cards installed in the chassis
•
Through the switching plane, provides switching functionality to the switch
•
Powers the line cards on and off
•
Controls system resets and boot sequence for the switch
•
Monitors and controls the fan speed, power status for various chassis components,
LCD panel and chassis status LEDs
The SRE module has these components:
•
SRE module LEDs—Indicate system status. See “SRE Module LEDs in an EX8208
Switch” on page 26.
•
Recessed reset button—Power cycles the SRE module when pressed.

Switch Fabric (SF) Module in an EX8208 Switch
The Switch Fabric (SF) module provides switching functionality.See Figure 10 on page 28.
An EX8208 switch can have either zero SF modules or one SF module. The base
configuration of an EX8208 switch includes one SF module. See “EX8208 Switch
Configurations” on page 6.
Figure 10: SF Module in an EX8208 Switch
The SF module can be installed only in the slot labeled SF. The SF module is keyed so
that it does not fit in the other slots in the chassis. See “Slot Numbering for an EX8208
Switch” on page 13.
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
Component and Functionality Redundancy” on page 11.
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
Switch Component and Functionality Redundancy” on page 11.
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:
•
Provideredundant 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:
•

8-port SFP+ Line Card in an EX8200 Switch
The line cards in EX8200 switches combine a Packet Forwarding Engine and Ethernet
interfaces on a single assembly. They are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be
installed in the line card slots on the front of the switch chassis. The line cards are
hot-insertable and hot-removable: You can remove and replace them without powering
off the switch or disrupting switch functions.
You can use any combination of line cards in an EX8200 switch.
The 8-port SFP+ line card for EX8200 switches (see Figure 12 on page 31) has eight
10-gigabit SFP+ ports on the faceplate in which you can install SFP+ transceivers. The
line card is shipped with dust covers preinstalled in the ports. Each port has two LEDs.
See “Network Port LEDs in an EX8200 Switch” on page 37.

48-port RJ-45 line card
You can use any combination of line cards in an EX8200 switch.
The 40-port SFP+ line card for EX8200 switches (see Figure 13 on page 32) has 40
oversubscribed 10-gigabit SFP+ ports on the faceplate in which you can install either
SFP+ or SFP transceivers. Each port has two LEDs. See “Network Port LEDs in an EX8200
Switch” on page 37. The ports are numbered sequentially (see Figure 14 on page 32).
The ports are divided into eight groups, each group comprising five ports (see Figure 14
on page 32). The ports in each port group share 10 gigabits of bandwidth.
Figure 13: 40-port SFP+ Line Card
Figure 14: Port Numbering and Port Groups on a 40-port SFP+ Line Card
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
twoports in a port group, the line card allowsonly 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 on page 40
•
N+1 Redundancy Configuration of AC Power Supplies on page 42
•
N+N Redundancy Configuration of AC Power Supplies on page 43
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 hasa separateprotectiveearthing terminal provided on the chassis in addition
tothe grounding pin of the powersupply 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.
Coverpanels 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.
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
Switch” on page 173.
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-voltageline (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:
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
raisesan 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 powermanagement 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 extrapower that is held in reservein an N+N configurationthan in an N+1 configuration,
becauseof which less powerwould ordinarilybe availableto powerline 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
powersupplies needed (N) forthe 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.
The tables in this section list the N+N power requirements for different EX8200 switch
configurations:

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.
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 powerproduced 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
provideindependent A and B powerfeeds, 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.

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
Chapter 2: Component Descriptions
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 temperaturefrom 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.
Chapter 2: Component Descriptions
•
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,orany component connected to the backplane,
with any metallic object while servicing components installed in the switch.
