WARNING: Do not look directly into transceivers or into the ends of fiber-optic
cables connected to a transceiver. Fiber-optic transceivers emit laser light
that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION:
When handling fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable, observe the
following precautions:
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.
Do not bend 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.
Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening
point.
To remove a FIC or PIC cable:
If the interface connects to fiber-optic cable, have ready a rubber safety cap for each

cable you are removing.
If removing all cables connected to the interface, press and hold the PIC offline button

on the FIC until its failure indicator LED lights, which usually takes about 5 seconds.
