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.
Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the PIC faceplate.
3.
Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent it from dislodging or
4.
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.
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.
CAUTION: 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.
After you have draped the PIC cables, you can optionally install the cable cover (the
5.
cable cover prevents the PIC and CIP cables from being disturbed or snagged). To
install the cable cover, insert the upper tabs of the cover into the slots of the upper
cable guards, then insert the lower tabs of the cover into the slots of the lower cable
guards (see "Connecting PIC Cables to the M320 Router" on page 92).
