Before removing a fiber-optic transceiver, have the following items available:
•
The protective covering that you removed from the fiber-optic transceiver port when you initially installed the module
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the router chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
To replace a fiber-optic transceiver in a 10 Gbps Ethernet port, perform the following steps:
1.
Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector located on the front of the router.
2.
Disconnect the two fiber cable connectors from the port connectors.
3.
Replace the protective cover on the port connectors.
4.
Pull down the latch on the front of the transceiver.
5.
Pull the transceiver out of the port and place it in an anti-static bag for storage.
6.
Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.
7.
Insert the fiber-optic transceiver into the port until it clicks into place. Fiber-optic transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect
insertion.
Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver
To cable a fiber-optic transceiver, perform the following steps:
1.
Before cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, it is strongly recommended that you clean the cable connectors and the port
connectors. For more information, refer to
2.
Gently insert the two cable connectors (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port connectors until the tabs lock
into place.
Replacing a power supply
You can replace a power supply while the device is powered on and running. For the location of the power supplies (AC or DC) refer to
Power supplies
on page 80.
NOTE
If you are hot-swapping a module, power supply, or fan tray, allow a minimum of two seconds after a module (or power supply
or fan tray) has been removed before inserting a module in the same slot.
Determining which power supply failed
To determine which power supply has failed, enter the show chassis command at any CLI command prompt.
