Removing a Fiber Optic Module
You can remove a fiber SFP (also called a mini-GBIC) or an XFP from a port while the NetIron CES 2000 device is
powered on and running.
Before removing a fiber optic module, have the following on hand:
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the NetIron CES 2000 device.
WARNING: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
•
The protective covering that you removed from the fiber optic module when you initially installed the module.
To remove a fiber optic module from a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port, do the following:
1.
Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an
equipment rack).
2.
Disconnect the fiber cable connector from the port connector.
3.
Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.
4.
Pull the fiber optic module out of the port by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front panel of the
module. This unlocks the module from the front panel.
NOTE: The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the mini-GBIC.
5.
Grasping the bail latch, pull the fiber optic module out of the port.
6.
Store the fiber optic module in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.
7.
Install a new fiber optic module in the port. For information about performing this task, see "Installing a New
Fiber Optic Module" .
