Installation and Replacement of Pluggable Transceivers
Replacing a CFP
228
The following equipment is required:
•
a replacement transceiver or slot plug
•
an antistatic mat
•
a safety cap for the transceiver
Danger: CFP pluggable optic modules are very hot while in use. Touch only the captive
screws when removing the module. Allow the CFP to cool before further handling.
To replace a CFP transceiver:
Step 1. Remove the new CFP from its antistatic packaging and place it on an antistatic mat.
Step 2. Locate the CFP on the MDA-a card.
Step 3. Disconnect the network cable from the optical connector.
Step 4. Loosen the captive screw on each side of the CFP.
Caution: Be careful not to loosen the captive screw too far. It is possible to entirely remove
the captive screw from the CFP.
Step 5. Grip both captive screws, and gently pull to remove the CFP from the port, as
shown in
