NOTE:
HP A-F5000 firewall provides shielded covers for the fiber ports (such as SFP ports). Before using such
fiber ports, remove the shielded covers. Keep the shielded covers properly. When the fiber ports are not
in use, install the shielded covers.
Fiber connectors are fitted with dust caps. Keep the dust caps properly when the fiber connectors are in
use. Install dust caps when the fiber connectors are not in use to avoid damage to their end face. Replace
the dust cap if it is loose or polluted.
Before connecting an optical fiber, use dust free paper and absolute alcohol to clean the end face of the
two fiber connectors. You can brush the end faces only in one direction.
After a fiber is installed well, the bend radius must be not less than 10 cm (3.94 in).
If the fiber has to pass through a metallic board hole, the hole must have a sleek and fully filleted surface
(the filleting radius must be not less than 2 mm, or 0.08 in). When passing through a metallic board
hole or bending along the acute side of mechanical parts, the fiber must wear jackets or cushions.
Insert and remove a plug with care. Never exert a fierce force to the fiber or plug; otherwise the plug
may be damaged or the fiber may be broken. Never pull, press or extrude the fiber fiercely. For the
allowed maximum tensile load and crush load, see
Table
37.
