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.
Unseat the PIC: Flip the ejector handles outward.
7.
Slide the PIC out of the FPC card carrier, and place it in the electrostatic bag or on the
8.
antistatic mat.
If you are not reinstalling a PIC into the emptied PIC slot within a short time, install a
9.
blank PIC panel over the slot to maintain proper airflow in the FPC card cage.
To install a PIC:
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect
1.
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
Verify that there is a rubber safety cap over each fiber-optic transceiver on the
2.
faceplate. Install a cap if necessary.
Align the notches in the connector at the rear of the PIC with the notches in the PIC
3.
slot in the FPC and then slide the PIC in until it lodges firmly in the FPC.
CAUTION: Slide the PIC straight into the slot to avoid damaging the
components on the bottom of the PIC.
Secure the PIC to the FPC faceplate: Grasp both ejector handles and press them
4.
inward to seat the PIC until the ejectors latch into the FPC.
Remove the rubber safety cap from each fiber-optic transceiver and the end of each
5.
fiber-optic 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.
