Uninstalling the PTX1000

Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending the cables
beyond their minimum bend radius can damage the cables and cause problems that
are difficult to diagnose.
Frequent plugging and unplugging of fiber-optic cables in and out of optical instruments
can damage the instruments, which are expensive to repair. Attach a short fiber
extension to the optical equipment. Any wear and tear due to frequent plugging and
unplugging is then absorbed by the short fiber extension, which is easier and less
expensive to replace than the instruments.
Keep fiber-optic cable connections clean. Microdeposits of oil and dust in the canal of
the transceiver or cable connector can cause loss of light, reduction in signal power,
and possibly intermittent problems with the optical connection.
To clean the transceiver canal, use an appropriate fiber-cleaning device such as RIFOCS
Fiber Optic Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the directions in the
cleaning kit you use.
After cleaning the transceiver, make sure that the connector tip of the fiber-optic cable
is clean. Use only an approved alcohol-free fiber-optic cable cleaning kit such as the
®
Cletop-S Fiber Cleaner. Follow the directions in the cleaning kit you use.
If you need to relocate an installed PTX1000, perform the following procedure.
NOTE: When you remove multiple devices from a rack, remove the device at
the top of the rack first and proceed to remove the rest of the devices from
top to bottom to avoid toppling the rack.
Before removing a PTX1000 from a rack:
Ensure that the rack is stable and secured to the building.
Ensure that there is enough space to place the removed PTX1000 in its new location
and along the path to the new location.
Read "General Safety Guidelines and Warnings" on page

page 118.
Power off the device (see
Ensure that you have disconnected any cables or wires attached to the PTX1000 (see
"Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic Cable from the PTX1000" on page
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
Either a mechanical lift or two persons to support the weight of the PTX1000. An
additional person is needed to remove the screws securing the router to the rack.
Screwdriver appropriate for your rack-mounting screws.
