Upgrade a two-cabinet system with metal cable to Option 11C
34 Connect the fiber-optic cable to the fiber receiver card, as shown
in Figure 21 on page 64.
Use of the fiber-optic interface product in the Option 11C is
considered safe. However, as a precaution, do not look directly at the
optical port or the end of fiber-optic cable. The cable or port can cause
eye exposure beyond the limits of Maximum Permissible Exposure
recommended in some areas. For example, this condition can occur
during cable testing or under light magnification. Do not remove
protective caps or plugs until you are ready to connect the cable.
Use one of the following methods:
— If using the A0632902 (was A0618443) cable:
a Remove the two protective plugs from the fiber receiver card.
b Connect the cable to the fiber receiver card. Make sure the
V-shaped groove on the cable connector faces in and the
connector seats tightly. See Figure 22 on page 65. The
marking (if there is one) on the connector is not visible when
you connect it correctly.
— If using glass fiber-optic cable:
a Remove the protective plug from the fiber receiver card.
Remove the protective cap from the corresponding plug (Tx or
Rx) on the glass fiber-optic cable.
b Insert the plug in its identified connector on the fiber receiver
card.
c Lock the connector in position by turning it a half turn
clockwise. See Figure 23 on page 66.
d Repeat steps a to c for the second fiber-optic connection.
After you connect the fiber-optic cable, wind the excess fiber-optic
cable around the spool on the fiber receiver card. Leave enough slack
to insert and remove the fiber receiver card from its slot.
