Cleaning The Fiber-Optic Connectors; Installing A New Fiber-Optic Transceiver - Ruckus Wireless ICX 7150-C12P Hardware Installation Manual

Installing Transceivers and Cables

Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors

Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors

To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (SFP+ or QSFP) and the fiber cable connectors, Brocade
strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate on the connectors
and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. When not using an SFP+, or QSFP
connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.

Installing a new fiber-optic transceiver

For direct attachment from the device to a Gigabit NIC, switch, or router, using a fiber-optic transceiver, you need fiber cabling with an LC
connector. You can install a new fiber-optic transceiver in an SFP or SFP+ slot while the device is powered on and running. While installing a
transceiver, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug that can be inserted in the ESD connector on the device.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
Perform the following steps to install a fiber-optic transceiver.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as
ground.
2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.
