Replacing Pluggable Transceivers
Risk of electrostatic discharge.
To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD),
• take standard anti-static precautions when handling pluggable
transceiver modules or coming in contact with them.
• wear an ESD wrist strap or use a similar individual grounding device
when installing or removing pluggable transceivers.
The electrical connectors on the rear side of CFPs are very sensitive to
mechanical stress or ESD. Do not touch these connectors.
Be sure to disconnect all optical cables before removing or installing a pluggable
transceiver module. By ignoring this, you could damage the optical fibers, the optical
connectors, or the optical port of the transceiver module.
Dispose of obsolete pluggable transceivers according to all national laws
and regulations.
It is assumed that you are familiar with pluggable transceivers, and are aware of the
precautions that should be taken to avoid damage to the equipment. A summary of how to
handle pluggable transceivers and optical fibers is provided in “Preparation for
Troubleshooting” on p.29 of this manual.
Removing an SFP or XFP Transceiver
See the above Safety Guidelines before removing any SFP transceiver, SFP+
transceiver, or XFP transceiver module. The following description is applicable to all
SFP, SFP+, and XFP transceiver modules provided by ADVA Optical Networking. In this
procedure, these modules are referred to as pluggable transceivers.
Equipment Required
Before starting the procedure, ensure the following equipment is available:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap or other personal grounding device
• Suitable grounded surface or an antistatic mat for placing the pluggable transceiver
• Appropriate dust plug to cover the empty channel module interface cage (if you want
to install a replacement transceiver module later or not at all)
• Appropriate blind plugs for inserting into the unterminated optical receptacles of the
optical module which is directly connected to this transceiver (if you want to install an
replacement transceiver module later or not at all)
• Appropriate protective caps for covering the fiber-optic connectors
• Original shipping box, including the static-protective package for saving the removed
pluggable transceiver
