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
device 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. Note that on JNP5100-48T devices, the QSFP+ top and bottom ports have
the same orientation for inserting and removing transceivers. On all other PTX10000
routers, the ports are designed belly-to-belly, which requires you to turn the transceiver
over on the bottom port row. See Figure 215 on page 349 through
Figure 217 on page 350 for the correct orientation for your device.
5. Slide the transceiver in gently until it is fully seated. See Figure 215 on page 349 for an example of
inserting an SFP transceiver. Figure 216 on page 350, and Figure 216 on page 350 and
Figure 217 on page 350 are examples of inserting QSFP+ transceivers into different PTX10000 Series
product SKU devices.
6. Remove the rubber safety cap when you are ready to connect the cable to the transceiver.
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.
