Removing and Replacing Modules
Removing and Replacing Modules
Overview
This procedure describes how to remove and replace the internal modules of the 1.2
GHz GS7000 Node. All field-replaceable modules can be removed and replaced
without removing power from the 1.2 GHz GS7000 Node.
Field-replaceable modules include:
Forward optical receiver modules
Reverse optical transmitter modules
Optical amplifier modules
Optical switch modules
Status monitor/local control module
Forward configuration module
Reverse configuration module
Equalizers
Node signal directors
Power supply modules
RF amplifier assembly
Removing power from the 1.2 GHz GS7000 Node will interrupt customer
service. Removing any module, except for the status monitor/local control
module, will interrupt customer service unless that module has a redundant
backup.
Module Replacement Procedure
Follow this procedure to remove and replace an optical receiver, optical transmitter,
optical amplifier, optical switch, status monitor/local control module, or power
supply module.
1 Open the housing. See Opening and Closing the Housing (on page 122).
2 Carefully tag and remove any optical fibers from a receiver or transmitter
module.
Laser light hazard. Never look into the end of an optical fiber or connector.
