Removing a Transceiver from an ACX5000 Router
The transceivers for the ACX routers are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs).
You can remove and replace them without powering off the router or disrupting routing functions.
Before you begin removing a transceiver from the ACX routers, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions for safe handling of lasers (see
178).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
Needle-nose pliers
Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector
Dust cover to cover the port
To remove a transceiver from an ACX5000 router:
1. Place the antistatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
2. Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect it correctly.
