Follow these guidelines when replacing an Optical Module:
● Replacing an Optical Module interrupts service transmission. Therefore,
replace an Optical Module only when you conrm that the Optical Module
has failed.
● Ensure that the new Optical Module has the same center wavelength and
complies with the same standards as the old one.
● When replacing an Optical Module, ensure that no optical ber is connected
to the Optical Module. Install or remove optical
bers carefully to avoid
damages to ber connectors. Exercise caution when installing or removing
optical
bers to prevent damage to the Optical Module.
● After removing the optical bers from an Optical Module, cover the ber
connectors with dust caps. Place the optical bers in an appropriate place to
prevent them from swinging.
● Use assistant tools like the tweezers delivered with the device to remove an
Optical Module in a
conned space.
● After removing a copper transceiver, wait at least 2 seconds before inserting a
new one. Otherwise, the port may fail to go Up. If the port cannot go Up,
remove the copper transceiver and install it 2 seconds later.
● If the LINK indicator on an optical port with two optical
bers is o, swap the
two optical
bers.
● During the replacement, keep the bores of the Optical Module and ber
connectors clean, protecting them from dust and other contamination
sources. Install dust plugs on idle optical ports.
Tools and Accessories
● ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves
● Spare Optical Module
● Dust caps
● (Optional) Optical port dust plug
● (Optional) Tweezers
Procedure
1. Check the location of the Optical Module to be replaced.
Before pulling out an Optical Module that is to be replaced, you should
rst
check the location of the module, for example, the cabinet and chassis where
the Optical Module resides. Then, locate the Optical Module to be replaced in
the chassis and attach a label to the panel to identify the Optical Module.
2. Run the display interface
interface-type interface-number
command to view
and record the type of the Optical Module to be replaced, as the following
output in bold displays:
<HUAWEI> display interface Gigabitethernet0/1/0
