3. Verify that each transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the transceiver with a
safety cap.
4. Carefully align the transceiver with the slots in the component. The connectors should face the
component.
5. Slide in the transceiver until the connector is seated in the component slot. If you are unable to fully
insert the transceiver, ensure that the connector is facing the right way.
6. Close the ejector handle of the transceiver.
7. Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and from the end of the cable. Insert the cable into
the transceiver.
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 a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
8. Verify that the status LEDs on the component faceplate indicate that the transceiver is functioning
correctly. For more information about the component LEDs, see the MX Series Interface Module Reference.
