CAUTION
Risk of connectors contamination
To reduce the risk of oil contamination on connectors, do not
use commercial compressed air or hose air when cleaning
connectors and receptacles. Always use canned compressed
gas to remove excess dust and dirt.
Do the appropriate cleaning process before re-mating
connectors with their receptacles.
To prevent contamination, make sure you cover the optical
faceplate connectors of all installed circuit packs and all the
unconnected fiber connector ferrules with dust caps.
To avoid applying any oil from your fingers or other
contaminants to the end face of the ferrule, handle connectors
carefully.
DANGER
Risk of personal injury
Wear safety glasses when you work with the canned
compressed gas to avoid getting dust in your eyes.
Wear safety glasses when working with isopropyl alcohol.
Isopropyl alcohol can cause eye irritation on contact.
To avoid extended inhalation of alcohol vapors, use only small
amounts of alcohol and work in a clean and ventilated area.
To avoid direct skin contact with the isopropyl alcohol and to
avoid contaminating the ferrules with skin oils, it is preferable
to wear vinyl gloves.
