Installing a PTX5000 PIC QSFP28 Transceiver

452
CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend
radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable
and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Pull the transceiver's rubber handle straight back. The locking pins on the transceiver
6.
automatically release. Place the transceiver on the antistatic mat or in the electrostatic
bag.
To install a replacement QSFP28:
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect
1.
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
Verify that a rubber safety cap covers the QSFP28 transceiver, installing one if
2.
necessary.
Orient the QSFP28 over the port in the PIC so that the QSFP28 connector faces the
3.
appropriate direction.
Slide the QSFP28 into the slot until the locking pins lock in place. If there is resistance,
4.
remove the QSFP28 and flip it so that the connector faces the other direction.
Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and the end of the cable, and
5.
insert the cable into the transceiver.
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the
ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable
connected to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when
inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and
prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent the cable from
6.
dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its
own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled
loop in the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps to maintain
its shape.
