Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines
Before you install an SFP, read the following handling, safety, and
environmental guidelines:
•
SFPs are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD), see "Electrostatic discharge prevention" (page 9).
•
SFPs are dust sensitive. When you store an SFP, or when you
disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep a dust cover over
the optical bore.
•
To clean contaminants from the optical bores of an SFP, use an alcohol
swab or equivalent to clean the ferrules of the optical connector.
• Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.
Electrostatic discharge prevention
To prevent equipment damage, observe the following electrostatic discharge
(ESD) precautions when handling or installing the components.
•
Ground yourself and the equipment to an earth or building ground. Use
a grounded workbench mat (or foam that dissipates static charge) and
a grounding wrist strap. The wrist strap should touch the skin and be
grounded through a one megaohm resistor.
•
Do not touch anyone who is not grounded.
•
Leave all components in their ESD-safe packaging until installation, and
use only a static-shielding bag for all storage, transport, and handling.
