NOTE: The slot number corresponds to the lowest numbered slot for which the FPC
is installed.
5. Disconnect the cables from the PICs installed in the FPC.
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.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when
inserting or removing a cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents
accidental exposure to laser light.
CAUTION: Avoid bending a 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.
6. If a PIC uses fiber-optic cable, immediately cover each transceiver and the end of each cable with a
rubber safety cap. Arrange the disconnected cables in the cable manager to prevent the cables from
developing stress points.
7. Simultaneously turn both the ejector handles counterclockwise to unseat the FPC.
8. Grasp the handles, and slide the FPC straight out of the card cage halfway.
9. Place one hand around the front of the FPC (the PIC housing) and the other hand under it to support
it. Slide the FPC completely out of the chassis, and place it on the antistatic mat or in the electrostatic
bag.
