Uninstalling The Ptx1000 - Juniper PTX1000 Hardware Manual

When you unplug fiber-optic cables from transceivers, place rubber safety caps over the transceivers
and on the end of the cables.
Anchor fiber-optic cables to avoid stress on the connectors. When attaching a fiber-optic cable to a
transceiver, be sure to secure the fiber-optic cable so that it does not support its own weight as it hangs
to the floor. Never let a fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector.
Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending the cables beyond their
minimum bend radius can damage the cables and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Frequent plugging and unplugging of fiber-optic cables in and out of optical instruments can damage
the instruments, which are expensive to repair. Attach a short fiber extension to the optical equipment.
Any wear and tear due to frequent plugging and unplugging is then absorbed by the short fiber extension,
which is easier and less expensive to replace than the instruments.
Keep fiber-optic cable connections clean. Microdeposits of oil and dust in the canal of the transceiver
or cable connector can cause loss of light, reduction in signal power, and possibly intermittent problems
with the optical connection.
To clean the transceiver canal, use an appropriate fiber-cleaning device such as RIFOCS Fiber Optic
Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the directions in the cleaning kit you use.
After cleaning the transceiver, make sure that the connector tip of the fiber-optic cable is clean. Use
only an approved alcohol-free fiber-optic cable cleaning kit such as the Cletop-S
the directions in the cleaning kit you use.

Uninstalling the PTX1000

If you need to relocate an installed PTX1000, perform the following procedure.
NOTE: When you remove multiple devices from a rack, remove the device at the top of the rack
first and proceed to remove the rest of the devices from top to bottom to avoid toppling the
rack.
Before removing a PTX1000 from a rack:
Ensure that the rack is stable and secured to the building.
Ensure that there is enough space to place the removed PTX1000 in its new location and along the path
to the new location.
