It is assumed that you are familiar with pluggable transceivers, and are aware of
the precautions that should be taken to avoid damage to the equipment. A sum-
mary of how to handle pluggable transceivers and optical fibers is provided in
the
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Manual, Chapter 1
.
Installing an SFP or XFP Transceiver
See the
section above before you install any SFP transceiver,
SFP+ transceiver, or XFP transceiver module (in the following referred to as
pluggable transceiver). The following description is applicable to all SFP, SFP+,
and XFP transceiver modules provided by ADVA Optical Networking.
Equipment Required
Before starting the procedure, ensure the following equipment is available:
•
Pluggable transceiver module to be installed
•
ESD-preventive wrist strap or other personal grounding device
•
Suitable grounded surface or an antistatic mat for placing the pluggable
transceiver
Installation Procedure
Several tasks must be completed. Some tasks are detailed in sub-tasks. Follow
these steps to install a pluggable transceiver in a channel module interface
cage.
Procedure
Step 1
Read the installation plan to get information about:
•
the transceiver type that is to be installed
•
the channel module which is to hold this transceiver
•
the cage where this transceiver is to be inserted in (if the channel
module has two or more interface cages).
Step 2
Check the operating status of the equipment and the present hazard
level. Please keep in mind that the laser hazard level of the network
element will be influenced when any module is operating in "Forced
On" mode. Do not proceed unless you are familiar with the laser
safety and you are protected accordingly.
Step 3
Attach a wrist strap to your bare wrist and fasten the grounding cable
onto the ESD grounding point on the shelf (if available) or to a bare
metal surface onto the rack.
Step 4
If mounted, remove the front cover from the shelf, as described in
“Removing the SH7HU or SH9HU Front Cover” on p. 259
.
NOTICE
Be sure not to install a pluggable transceiver module with
the optical fiber pair attached to it. You could damage the
optical fibers, the optical fiber connectors, or the optical
port of the transceiver module.
