DANGER
Never look directly into an optical module or the ends of optical fibers. Optical modules and
connected fibers emit laser radiation that can cause eye damage.
NOTICE
l Do not touch the edge connector of an optical module during the installation.
l Install an optical module on a port before connecting optical fibers to the transceiver
module.
l Install dust plugs on idle optical ports.
Tools and Accessories
l ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves
l Dust plugs
Procedure
Step 1 Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves. When wearing an ESD wrist strap, ensure that it is in
close contact with your wrist and grounded properly.
Step 2 Remove the dust plug from an optical port. Keep the dust plug for future use.
Step 3 Ensure that the optical module is correctly oriented and gently push it into the optical port
until you hear a click.
NOTICE
If the optical module cannot be completely inserted into the optical port, do not force it into
the port. Turn the optical module 180 degrees and try again.
