port adapter (MPA). Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap. Do not directly
touch the midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
To remove and install a modular port adapter (MPA), perform these steps:
Procedure

Note
Step 2 To fully seat the MPA, use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the jackscrew on the MPA.
Note
Step 3
To remove the MPA, use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the lock screw on the MPA. Make sure
that the cables are disconnected from the MPA first.
Step 4 Grasp the MPA and pull the MPA from the slot.

Optical Device Installation and Removal

Any contamination of the fiber connection can cause failure of the component or failure of the whole system.
A particle that partially or completely blocks the core generates strong back reflections, which can cause
◦ Insert a 20 GE MPA
◦ Remove and then insert a replacement 20 GE MPA
The modular port adapter (MPA) will slide easily into the slot if it is properly aligned on the tracks.
If MPA does not slide easily, do NOT force it. Remove the MPA and reposition it, paying close
attention to engaging it on the tracks.
Avoid over torquing the modular port adapter (MPA) jackscrew when installing the MPA. Tighten
the jackscrew on the MPA to a torque of 17 +/-1 inch-pound. Do not use a power screwdriver to
tighten the MPA jackscrew.
