8 Connecting signal cables
Installing transceiver modules and fiber cables
Disconnected optical fibers or
transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments when the device is operating.
Before installing a transceiver module, remove the fiber cables, if any, from it. For more
information about installing transceiver modules, see the installation guide for the transceiver
modules.
If you are not to use a fiber port or transceiver module, insert dust plugs into the
port or module.
If you are not to connect an optical fiber, install dust caps for the fiber connector.
To install a transceiver module and fiber cable:
1. Remove the dust plug from the target fiber port.
2. Pull the bail latch on the transceiver module upwards.
Skip this step if the bail latch is plastic.
3. Take the transceiver module by its two sides and push the end without the bail latch gently into
the port until it is firmly seated in the fiber port.
Routing signal cables
The cable management brackets are located on the left and right sides of the chassis front panel.
As a best practice, route the cables from the left half of the chassis through the left cable
management brackets and the cables from the right half of the chassis through the right cable
management brackets.
