Removing a Transceiver from an MX150
The transceivers for the MX150 are hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable
units (FRUs). You can remove and replace them without powering off the device or
disrupting device functions.
Before you begin removing a transceiver from the MX150, ensure that you have taken the
necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see “Laser and LED Safety Guidelines
and Warnings for the MX150” on page 137).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
Electrostatic bag or an antistatic mat
•
Rubber safety caps to cover the transceiver and fiber-optic cable connector
•
Dust cover to cover the port
To remove a transceiver from the MX150:
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.
