Before you begin installing a transceiver in a PTX1000, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions
for safe handling of lasers (see “Radiation from Open Port Apertures Warning” on page 148 and “Laser and
LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings” on page 149).
Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.
To install a transceiver in a PTX1000:
CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the transceiver, do not
touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.
1. Remove the transceiver from its bag.
2. Check to see whether the transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the transceiver
with a rubber safety cap.
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.
3. If the port in which you want to install the transceiver is covered with a dust cover, remove the dust
cover and save it in case you need to cover the port later.
4. Using both hands, carefully place the transceiver in the empty port. The connectors must face the
PTX1000 chassis.
CAUTION: Before you slide the transceiver into the port, ensure that the transceiver
is aligned correctly. Misalignment might cause the pins to bend, making the
transceiver unusable.
5. Slide the transceiver in gently until it is fully seated (see Figure 43 on page 108).
6. Remove the rubber safety cap when you are ready to connect a cable to the transceiver.
