Guidelines to Handling Twisted Pair or Fiber Optic Transceivers

Please review the following guidelines before installing twisted pair or fiber
optic transceivers:
Transceivers are hot-swappable. You can install them while the

switch is powered on.
For a list of supported transceivers, refer to the product data sheet

on the Allied Telesis web site.
The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements

are provided in the documents included with the transceivers.
You should install transceivers in XEM2 line cards before

connecting their fiber optic cables.
Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in

the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when
you store the transceiver. When you do remove the plug, keep it for
future use.
Repetitive removal or insertion of transceivers can lead to

premature failures.
100Gbps transceivers for XEM2-1CQ Line Cards have handles.

Use the handles when installing or removing transceivers. An
example is shown in Figure 71.

Caution
Transceivers can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
devices.  E92
