These procedures assume that:
l Any laser sources have been 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 have been installed
correctly; and
l You have reviewed Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings,
as well as all of the safety guidelines.
Do not clean the inside of the receptacles unless you suspect light power
is reduced due to contamination. If the module receptacles have been
cleaned and connected by the manufacturer, the system should operate
error-free.
LASERRADIATIONWARNING
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or
connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical
instruments.
General Cleaning Process
1. Verify that you are properly grounded with an anti-static wrist strap or heel strap
connected to the grounded ESDjack.
2. Check the operating status of the equipment and the current hazard level. If any
module in the system is operating in “Forced On” mode, this could have an effect on
the NEhazard level.
