5. Disconnect the cables from the MIC. If the MIC uses fiber-optic cable, immediately cover each transceiver
and the end of each cable with a rubber safety cap.
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting
or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
6. Arrange the cable to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it
does not support its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly
coiled loop.
CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An
arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems
that are difficult to diagnose.
7. Pull both the ejector levers of the MIC you are removing away from the MPC faceplate. Doing this
disconnects the MIC from the MPC.
8. Grasp the handles on the MIC faceplate, and slide the MIC out of the MPC card carrier. Place it in the
electrostatic bag or on the antistatic mat.
9. If you are not reinstalling a MIC into the emptied MIC slot within a short time, install a blank MIC panel
over the slot to maintain proper airflow in the MPC card cage.
