Removing an Optical Module
This section describes the procedure of removing channel modules, optical filter
modules, optical amplifiers and protection modules. The procedure is common and
independent of the optical module types. The term “optical module“refers to all of the
modules mentioned above.
For specific information about each optical module, refer to the Hardware Description.
CAUTION
Only Service Personnel are allowed to perform this procedure.
Additional Information
Removal of NCU, SCU, OSC and channel modules does not affect the operation of the
other modules installed in the shelf. If removing an optical module permanently, the
corresponding database entity has to be deleted from the database.

• Suitable grounded surface or an antistatic mat for placing the optical module
• Original shipping box including the static-protective package for saving the removed
module
• Appropriate blind plugs for inserting into the unused module receptacles
