Figure 21: Removing a Transceiver from an MX150
The transceivers for the MX150 are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable
units (FRUs). You can remove and replace them without powering off the device or
disrupting device functions.
Before you begin installing a transceiver in an MX150, ensure that you have taken the
necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see
and Warnings for the MX150" on page
Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.
To install a transceiver in an MX150 :
CAUTION:
To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the transceiver,
do not touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.
Remove the transceiver from its bag.
1.
Check to see whether the transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not,
2.
cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
WARNING:
Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when
inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean
and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
If the port in which you want to install the transceiver is covered with a dust cover,
3.
remove the dust cover and save it in case you need to cover the port later.
Using both hands, carefully place the transceiver in the empty port. The connectors
4.
must face the device chassis.
