Removing a Transceiver from an ACX5000 Router
The transceivers for the ACX routers are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable units (FRUs).
You can remove and replace them without powering off the router or disrupting routing functions.
Before you begin removing a transceiver from the ACX routers, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions for safe handling of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for the ACX5000
Router” on page 178).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
Antistatic bag or an antistatic mat
•
Needle-nose pliers
•
Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector
•
Dust cover to cover the port
To remove a transceiver from an ACX5000 router:
1. Place the antistatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
2. Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect it correctly.
