These procedures assume that:
l You verified that any laser sources are turned off before you inspect
fiber connectors, optical components, or fiber-optic bulkhead
connectors (FOBCs);
l The cable is disconnected at both ends;
l The traffic modules and pluggable transceivers are correctly installed;
and
l The Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings and all safety
guidelines are reviewed.
Do not clean the inside of the receptacles unless you suspect that
contamination has reduced the light power. If the manufacturer cleaned
and connected the module receptacles, the system should operate error-
free.
