Chapter 17
Exchanging Equipment
This chapter provides instructions on exchanging optical modules, pluggable
transceivers, power supplies, dummy modules, fan units, air filter pads, front covers and
1HU shelves.
Risk of damage to fiber-optic connectors.
Do not disconnect or re-connect fiber-optic cables exposed to optical output power.
If the optical output power is greater than 13 dBm, it is recommended to always
disable the laser source before you disconnect or re-connect the optical fiber. If you
ignore this, the core of the fiber can be destroyed at high optical power levels.
Clean and inspect the fiber-optic connectors carefully before you re-connect them to
the optical ports.
Before you exchange any equipment, read and follow the safety
precautions stated in the Safety Guide. The Safety Guide contains
important information and defines the restrictions on who may carry out
different types of tasks. Failure to adhere to these guidelines could result
in personal injury or damage to equipment.
Note
All equipment is provisioned and registered in the NE database.
Therefore all tasks involving the removal of equipment also involve
deleting the provisioned equipment from the database.
Note
After removing a plug-in module from the shelf slot, wait for at least
5seconds before you insert it or another one again.
The term plug-in module refers to all types of channel modules, optical filter modules,
management modules, optical protection switch modules, OSC modules, reconfigurable
optical layer devices, optical filter modules, optical amplifiers, dispersion compensation
modules, power supply units and fan units.
Note
Replacing a Raman amplifier requires additional configuration steps
which do not apply to replacing other optical modules.
To replace a Raman amplifier in your system, see “Replacing a Raman
Amplifier” on p.676.
