6 Tighten the screws securing the module. Torque screws to 25 to 30 in-lbs (2.8 to
3.4 Nm).
7 Carefully reconnect any optical fibers that were removed from the original
module. Clean optical connectors before reconnecting. See Care and Cleaning
of Optical Connectors (on page 103) for cleaning procedure.
WARNING:
Laser light hazard. Never look into the end of an optical fiber or connector.
Failure to observe this warning can result in eye damage or blindness.
8 Close the housing. See Opening and Closing the Housing (on page 94).
Important: Be sure to press the Auto Set-Up button on the cover of the Status
Monitor/Local Control Module before you close the node housing. This allows
the SM/LCM to check for, and detect, installed modules. If the modules are not
detected during this discovery process, they cannot be monitored and controlled
by the SM/LCM. The node must be powered and the modules operating
properly in order to be detected.
9 Perform the setup procedure in Chapter 3 to verify node performance.
Optical Amplifier and Optical Switch Module Pin Adaptor
Both the EDFA optical amplifier modules and the optical switch module require the
use of a pin adaptor to be mounted in the hub lid and connected to the optical
interface board. The reversible pin adaptor is color coded. One side is blue and
the other side is red. The pin alignment is slightly different on the two sides.
Important: For mounting in a hub the pin adaptor must be installed with the blue
side facing out.
The following illustrations show how the pin adaptor assembles to the module.
CAUTION:
To prevent electrostatic damage to electronic equipment, take ESD
precautions, including the use of an ESD wrist strap.
