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. Immediately cover each optical transceivers and the end of each fiber-optic cable
with a rubber safety cap.
7. Arrange the disconnected cables in the cable manager to prevent the cables from
developing stress points.
8. Simultaneously turn both of the ejector handles counterclockwise to unseat the
IOC.
9. Grasp the handles and slide the IOC straight out of the card cage halfway.
10. Place one hand around the front of the IOC and the other hand under it to support
it. Slide the IOC completely out of the chassis, and place it on the antistatic mat
or in the electrostatic bag.
CAUTION: The weight of the IOC is concentrated in the back end. Be prepared to
accept the full weight—up to 13.1 lb (5.9 kg)—as you slide the IOC out of the chassis.
When the IOC is out of the chassis, do not hold it by the ejector handles, bus bars,
or edge connectors. They cannot support its weight.
Do not stack IOC on top of one another after removal. Place each one individually
in an electrostatic bag or on its own antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
11. If you are not reinstalling an IOC into the empy slot within a short time, install
a blank IOC panel over the slot to maintain proper airflow in the card cage.
CAUTION: After removing an IOC from the chassis, wait at least 30 seconds before
reinserting it, removing an IOC from a different slot, or inserting an IOC into a
different slot.
