5. Verify that the fiber-optic cables are properly connected between the
gate driver board and the ASIC board.
6. Verify that the fiber-optic cables are properly connected between the
ASIC board and the fiber-optic adapter circuit board.
7. Disconnect the cables and inspect them for scratches and cracks, and
overall integrity.
8. Reconnect the cables, replacing any damaged cables.

IMPORTANT
The minimum inside bend radius for fiber-optic cable is 25.4 mm
(1 in.). Any bends with a shorter inside radius can permanently
damage the fiber-optic cable. Signal attenuation increases with
decreased inside bend radii.
IMPORTANT
When mishandled, the ability of fiber-optic cables to transmit data
is greatly diminished.
