The procedure to disconnect other types of direct aach cables, other than direct aach breakout
cables, is the same as the procedure described in this topic.
Connect a Direct Aach Cable
CAUTION: To prevent ESD damage to the transceiver, do not touch the connector pins
at the end of the transceiver.
Ensure that you have an ESD grounding strap (not provided).
NOTE: Aer you connect a cable or aer you change the media-type conguraon, wait for
6 seconds for the interface to display operaonal commands.
NOTE: We recommend that you use only cables purchased from Juniper Networks with your
Juniper Networks device.
CAUTION: If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses a third-
party opc or cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) can help
you diagnose the source of the problem. Your JTAC engineer might recommend that
you check the third-party opc or cable and potenally replace it with an equivalent
Juniper Networks opc or cable that is qualied for the device.
To connect a direct aach cable:
1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD wrist strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end
of the strap to a site ESD point.
2. Remove the cable from its bag.
CAUTION: Do not leave the transceivers at the ends of the cable uncovered except
when connecng or disconnecng the cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the
transceivers clean and protected.
3. If the transceiver aached to the cable is covered with a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the
cap.
