Safety Recommendations for Laser Products

Important: No user serviceable parts are included inside Enova DGX enclosures; service should
only be done by qualified personnel.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Attaching Cables

Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the input boards (for attaching sources) are on the left, and the
output boards (for attaching destinations) are on the right.
Enova DGX 8/16 – Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located
between the input and output boards. For inputs, numbering is consecutive from left to right on each
board from the top board to the bottom one; outputs start over at 1 and follow the same pattern.
Enova DGX 32 – Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located on the
numbering plate (metal strip) directly above the boards. For inputs, numbering is consecutive from top to
bottom on each board from the left board to right one; outputs start over at 1 and follow the same pattern.
Instructions for attaching cable management bars are on page 32. These bars are recommended and
provided with each DGX SC Optical Board.
Caution: Do not severely bend or kink the SC fiber cable. Irreversible damage can occur.
Refer to the physical limitations (bend radius) specified for the cable. The bend radius for
AMX SC terminated fiber cables is 2 inches (5 cm).

Be sure to apply the power only after all fiber connections are made and no fiber ends are
exposed.
Do not remove dust plugs from SC fiber connectors or the dust caps from the fiber cables until
establishing connections; avoid direct eye exposure.
Make sure all cables, including fiber cables, are correctly connected and/or terminated.
Before you unplug a fiber cable on an input board, disconnect the power on the DGX TX that
is connected to the input.
Before you unplug a fiber cable on an output board, disconnect the switch for that output
connector.
Make sure that no dust or debris is on the exposed ends of the fiber cable.
Make sure that the fiber cable connectors seat firmly into the board and module fiber
connectors. (Normally an audible click is heard when a connector engages.)
