Figure 114: Removing the Septum

Remove four screws
on bottom.
If the MIC uses fiber-optic cable, verify that a rubber safety cap is over each transceiver
3.
on the faceplate. Install a cap if necessary.
Pull the ejector lever above both MIC slots away from the router.
4.
Align the rear of the MIC with the guides located at the corners of the MIC slot.
5.
Slide the MIC into the MIC slot until it is firmly seated in the chassis.
6.
CAUTION: Slide the MIC straight into the slot to avoid damaging the
components on the MIC.
Verify that the ejector levers are engaged by pushing them toward the router.
7.
If the MIC uses fiber-optic cable, remove the rubber safety cap from each transceiver
8.
and the end of each cable.
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.
Insert the appropriate cables into the cable connectors on the MIC.
9.
Arrange each cable to prevent the cable from dislodging or developing stress points.
10.
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.
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.
