Installing Xenpak Connectors
If you are installing an OS8-10GNI-UR1 module, you must install Xenpaks as required. Alcatel OS8-
10GNI-UR1 modules provide slots for up to 2 Xenpak submodules, which act as a single 10 Gigabit port.
These Xenpaks are packaged separately. To install a Xenpak follow the steps below.
Anti-Static Warning.
Before handling any components, free yourself of static by wearing a grounding
strap, or by grounding yourself properly. Static discharge can damage the Xenpak, as well as the switch
and uplink module. Refer to
“Using the Grounding Wrist Strap and Chassis Grounding Lug” on page 5-29
for more information.
