CAUTION
This step should only be performed on the transmit (TX) port if the air blows
did not work. Do not perform this step on the receive (RX) port. The receive
(RX) port contains a lens for focusing a wide input. The lens is more easily
scratched than cleaned.
CAUTION
It is recommended that the process plug be installed into the optical ports on
the pluggable optics module to maintain cleanliness until the optical fiber is
connected.
