Warning
Statement 1079 Hot Surface
This icon is a hot surface warning. Use precaution when working near the hot surface.
Caution
The transceiver module is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual
grounding device when handling transceiver modules or coming into contact with modules.
Caution
Protect the transceiver ports by inserting clean dust caps (8000-QSFP-DCAP) into any ports not in use. Be
sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the optical ports of another
module. Use dust caps for all the open ports on the chassis.
The router ships with dust caps plugged in. We highly recommend you to keep the dust caps plugged in until
you are ready to plug an optic.
The dust caps protect the ports from possible EMI interference and also avoid contamination due to dust
collection. To meet the EMI interference requirements, you must use the metal dust caps when the ports are
not in use by optical modules.
To remove a transceiver module, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Disconnect the network interface cable from the transceiver connector.
Step 2
Install the dust plug immediately into the transceiver's optical bore.
Step 3
Grasp the pull-tab and gently pull to release the transceiver from the socket.
