Installation
To install the strain-relief ferrule:
1. Place the ferrule into the "grounding bus" backwards - that is, with its
open side exposed as shown in figure 2-5. As the figure illustrates, lay
the fiber-optic cable into the ferrule with a half twist. (At the end of the
installation process, you will take the twist out again. The cable will
then be straight when the ferrule is in its normal position.) Be sure
there is no tension on the peA's optical ports.
2. As shown in the illustration, insert the compression block of the ferrule
into its channel. Tighten the two screws enough to hold the cable in
place for the next step. If the ferrule was pre-assembled on the cable,
loosen the screws enough to slide the cable up or down for adjustment.
The compression block must be inserted with the notched side toward the cable,
as in the figure. If it goes in backwards, it can damage the cable.
3. Leave 0.5 cm (14 in.) "play" as slack in the cable to prevent damage to
the optical ports. Securely fasten the compression block to the ferrule
body. The cable should no longer slip in the ferrule.
4.
Pull the peA slightly out (5 cm or 2 in.) from the card cage to provide
working slack in the cable. Remove the ferrule from the grounding bus.
Turn it around so the cable is straight and re-insert it into the
grounding bus. Reseat the peA.
With the
HP-FL
peA fully inserted, both it and the strain-relief ferrule are now
installed.
