4. Physically turn off the power and remove the power cables from the chassis.
5. Label the cables connected to each port on the SPC so that you can later reconnect the cables to the
correct ports.
6. Disconnect the cables from the SPC. If the SPC 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
management system to prevent the cables from developing stress points.
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 you
are inserting or removing 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.
CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not
allow the fastened loops of a cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the
fastening point.
7. Simultaneously turn both of the ejector handles counterclockwise to unseat the SPC.
8. Grasp the handles and slide the SPC straight out of the card cage halfway.
9. Place one hand around the front of the SPC and the other hand under it to support it. Slide the SPC
completely out of the chassis, and place it on the antistatic mat or in the electrostatic bag.
