Fiber Transceiver Circuit 
Board Replacement
Replace a fiber transceiver circuit board with kit part number PN-579788.
Follow these steps to replace the fiber transceiver circuit board.
1. Review the Product Advisories on page 11
.
2. Remove power from the system. See Remove Power from the System on 
page 13
.
3. Open the control bay enclosure door.
4. Remove the control pod cover. See Control Pod Cover Removal on 
page 35
.
5. Remove the fiber-optic cables for the corresponding fiber transceiver 
circuit board from the cable management devices in the control pod.
IMPORTANT
Minimum inside bend radius for fiber-optic cable is 50 
mm (2 in.). Any bends with a shorter inside radius can 
permanently damage the fiber-optic cable. Signal 
attenuation increases as inside bend radius is 
decreased.
When all or many of the fiber-optic ports are used, it is easier to remove 
the fiber transceiver circuit boards from the pod before removing the fiber-
optic cables. However, it is possible to remove the fiber-optic cables 
without removing the boards. This procedure assumes that all fiber-optic 
ports are used.
