Replacing Pluggable Transceivers
Equipment Required
Before starting the procedure, ensure the following is available.
• Pluggable transceiver module to be inserted
• ESD-preventive wrist strap or other personal grounding device
• Suitable grounded surface or an antistatic mat for placing the pluggable transceiver
• Optical power meter (if necessary)
• Fiber optic cleaning kit including hand-held fiber scope and/or video scope
• Tagging materials (for labeling the optical fibers)
Installation Procedure
Several tasks must be completed. Some tasks are detailed in sub-tasks. Follow these
steps to remove a pluggable transceiver from a channel module interface cage.
Step 1 Read the installation plan to get information about:
• the transceiver type that is to be installed
• the channel module which is to hold this transceiver
• the cage where this transceiver is to be inserted in (if the channel module
has two or more interface cages).
Step 2 Check the operating status of the equipment and the present hazard level.
Please keep in mind that the laser hazard level of the network element will be
influenced when any module is operating in "Forced On" mode. Do not proceed
unless you are familiar with the laser safety and you are protected accordingly.
Step 3 Attach a wrist strap to your bare wrist and fasten the grounding cable onto the
ESD grounding point on the shelf (if available) or to a bare metal surface onto
the rack.
Step 4 If mounted, remove the front cover from the shelf as described in “Removing
an SH7HU, SH9HU, or SHX9HU Front Cover” on p.768.
Step 5 Find the physical location of the channel module that is to hold the pluggable
transceiver.
Step 6 Remove the pluggable transceiver from its static-protective packaging and
immediately place it on a grounded surface or an antistatic mat.
Note
Do not remove the optical port dust cover until directed to do so later in
this procedure.
Step 7 Check and prepare the transceiver module as follows:
a) Verify that the pluggable transceiver is the correct one for your network
configuration (type, specifications). To quickly obtain the adequate
information, refer to the ADVA Optical Networking label on the top of the
transceiver module.
b) Inspect the transceiver visually for damage and impurities. If necessary,
use canned, dry, oil-free compressed air to blow off any impurities. If the
transceiver is damaged, do not install it.
c) Make sure that the optical port of the transceiver module is equipped with a
dust cover. If not, install one.
