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 ACX 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.
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the
ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables
connected to transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when
inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean
and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
