5.2.3 Removing and Replacing Transceivers
When you are replacing a transceiver, have the following parts ready:
• a replacement transceiver
• protective plugs for the transceiver and a dust cover for the fiber cable connector
• an anti-static mat or electrostatic bag
To remove a transceiver:
Step 1. Disconnect the cable from the transceiver connector.
Step 2. Place a protective plug in the transceiver that is being removed.
Step 3. Release the locking mechanism on the transceiver with your thumb and
forefinger. See section 5.2.1 for descriptions of the different transceiver
lock and release methods. Slide the transceiver out of the port.
Step 4. Place the transceiver on an anti-static mat or in an electrostatic bag.
Step 5. Install a replacement transceiver in the port at a straight angle.
Step 6. Connect the fiber cable, or if you are not immediately connecting a fiber
cable, insert a protective plug in the transceiver optical port and place a
dust cover on the fiber cable connector.
Note: Ensure that the temperature ratings for the transceivers match those of the intended
operating environment.
