7705 SAR-F Installation Guide
Ensure cables are dressed such that they do not impede the insertion or removal of other
equipment in the rack.
To maintain EMC compliance, cables that are shielded and grounded at both ends must
be used with interface connectors.
To meet surge protection requirements, the cable shield for any open-ended cables must
be grounded by attaching the shield to a convenient chassis ground point, using
hardware suitable to provide a solid electrical and mechanical connection. In addition,
ensure that there is sufficient strain relief to remove any mechanical strain on the ground
connection due to cable movement.
Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace this equipment.
Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from an optical port aperture when no cable is
connected. Avoid exposure and do not stare into open apertures.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if the 7705 SAR-F is mishandled.
Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and always connect an ESD strap to
a nearby ground point that is connected to the site grounding point when working on the
7705 SAR-F. Typical ground points include the ground connection point on the front of
the 7705 SAR-F, the grounding stud on the 7705 SAR-F mounting bracket, or a properly
grounded rack or work bench.
Do not power up a 7705 SAR-F until all SFPs are installed and verified as having been
installed correctly.
Use only approved small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber-optic devices.
