Handling Modules
When you handle a module, observe these guidelines:
l Handle all modules as you would any electrostatic sensitive devices, unless you are
sure the module concerned does not contain electrostatic discharge-sensitive
components.
l Do not remove a module from its static-protective package until you are ready to install
it.
l Hold a module at its edges or faceplate only. Avoid touching the electronic
components or any exposed printed circuitry.
l Do not touch connector pins or PCB-exposed printed circuitry.
l Always place modules with the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly-side down.
l When you insert or remove modules, use the thumbscrews on the faceplate.
l Transport or store a module, even temporarily, in its original static-protective package
and shipping box.
l Do not use brushes with synthetic bristles or acid brushes to clean a module.
l Be careful when you remove hot components from the shelf. The temperature of an
operational module or pluggable transceiver module can exceed 60°C (140°F) and be
too hot to touch with bare hands. Touching a very hot component can cause minor skin
burns if operated above 60°C/140°F ambient temperature.
SKIN BURN CAUTION
Hot Surface!
Module components get hot during operation. Hot components can burn
skin. Allow a module to cool before removing it from a shelf or placing it in
a static-protective package.
l The connector receptacles of the optical ports, integrated interfaces, ship with dust
covers to prevent impurities. Always keep the dust covers in the receptacles as long
as:the module is not installed in a running system, fiber-optic cables are not plugged
in, and pluggable transceivers are not installed.
l Do not install a module that someone has dropped or damaged.
l Do not dispose of a waste module with the normal trash because it is an electronic
product.
