4. Disconnect the cable from the CFP2 transceiver. Immediately cover the transceiver and the end of the
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.
5. Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress
points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess
cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the
loop helps to maintain its shape.
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.
6. Pull the ejector latch to the extreme end away from the CFP2 transceiver faceplate to unseat the CFP2
transceiver from the PIC. Pull the CFP2 transceiver out of the PIC and place it on the antistatic mat or
in the electrostatic bag.
NOTE: You cannot remove the transceiver until you move the ejector latch to the extreme
end.
Installing a CFP2 Transceiver
To install a replacement CFP2:
1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to
one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Verify that a rubber safety cap covers the CFP transceiver, installing one if necessary.
