Cable the fiber optic module
The following sections provide information about performing these tasks.
Installing a fiber optic module
You must install a fiber optic module in each Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber port
you want to use.
DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 Lasers.
NOTE
Refer to “Installation precautions” on page 38 for other hardware installation precautions.
NOTE
Some older SFP modules (mini-GBICs for Gigabit Ethernet ports) have latching mechanisms which
are larger than the newer parts. These latches could interfere with one another when inserted
side-by-side into a module. Avoid using these mini-GBICs side-by-side in the same module. These
modules are identified by the numbers PL-XPL-00-S13-22 or PL-XPL-00-L13-23 above the serial
number. Newer mini-GBICs do not have this limitation.
Before installing a fiber optic module, have the following on hand:
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
To install a fiber optic module into a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port, complete the
following tasks.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located in the lower right corner of the chassis front.
2. Remove the module from the protective packaging.
3. If necessary, remove the metal cover from the port on the interface module control panel.
4. Insert the fiber-optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. Fiber-optic
modules are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Cabling a fiber optic module
To cable a fiber-optic module, complete the following tasks.
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber optic module and store it for future use.
2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, it is strongly recommended that you clean the cable
connectors and the port connectors. Refer to “Cleaning fiber optic modules”.
