Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• Anstac bag or an anstac mat
• Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and ber-opc cable connector
• Dust cover to cover the port
To remove a transceiver from an MX10004 line card:
1. Place the anstac bag or anstac mat on a at, stable surface.
2. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD wrist strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end
of the strap to the ESD point on the router.
3. Label the cable connected to the transceiver so that you can reconnect it correctly.
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a ber-opc transceiver or into the ends
of ber-opc cables. Fiber-opc transceivers and ber-opc cables connected to
transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
LASER WARNING: Do not leave a ber-opc transceiver uncovered except when
inserng or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents
accidental exposure to laser light.
CAUTION: Do not bend ber-opc cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending
the cables beyond their minimum bend radius can damage the cables and cause
problems that are dicult to diagnose.
4. Remove the cable connected to the transceiver (see "Disconnect a Fiber-Opc Cable from an Opcal
Transceiver on an MX10004 Router" on page 210). Cover the transceiver and the end of each ber-
opc cable connector with a rubber safety cap immediately aer you disconnect the ber-opc
cables.
5. Using your ngers, pull the ejector lever away from the transceiver to unlock the transceiver.
CAUTION: Before removing the transceiver, make sure you open the ejector lever
completely unl you hear it click. This prevents damage to the transceiver.
6. Grasp the transceiver ejector lever and gently slide the transceiver approximately 0.5 in. (1.3 cm)
straight out of the port.
