The transceivers for the PTX10000 Series 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.
To install or remove a transceiver of a PTX10008 router or a PTX10016 router refer to the following
sections:
Installing a Transceiver in a PTX10000 Router
The transceivers for the PTX10000 Series 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 installing a transceiver in a PTX10000 router, ensure that you have taken the necessary
precautions for safe handling of lasers (see Laser and LED Safety Guidelines and Warnings for the PTX10008
and PTX10016).
Ensure that you have a rubber safety cap available to cover the transceiver.
To install a transceiver in the PTX10000 Router:
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.
