Guidelines to Handling Fiber Optic or Twisted Pair Transceivers

Please review the following guidelines before installing fiber optic or
twisted pair transceivers in XEM2 line cards:
 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 a transceiver can lead to
premature failure.
 100Gbps transceivers for the XEM2-1CQ line card have handles.
Use the handles when installing or removing transceivers. An
example is shown in Figure 102.

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
