Do not allow the center pins of connectors to rotate when you connect and remove cables.
Use a connector saver!
Use a connector saver (part no. 46885/224):
(a) on any SMA connector where the cable is routinely connected and disconnected
(b) when the connector on the cable, or the cable end of the connector saver, has not been
gauged.
Torque to 1 Nm the end of the connector saver that connects to the module, and torque to
0.56 Nm the end that connects to the cable.
Maintenance
SMA
Clean connectors regularly, using a cotton bud dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Wipe within the
connector cavity, then use a dry cotton bud to finish off. Check for any deposits.
Do not use other cleaners, as they can cause damage to the plastic insulators within the
connectors.
Cap unused connectors.
PCI
Protect PCI connector pins by keeping modules in their original packing when not fitted in the
rack.
