Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by
particles of dirt or dust which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance
degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.
1) Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only
from a reputable supplier; low quality components can cause many hard-to-diag-
nose problems in an installation.
2) The manufacturer installs dust caps to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These
protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable
to the device. Assure that the fiber is properly terminated, polished and free of any dust
or dirt and that the location is as free from dust and dirt as possible.
3) Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box
so that when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.
4) Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective
dust caps.
5) If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between
blasting with clean, dry compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove par-
ticles of dirt.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to your add-in modules. Always
observe the following precautions when installing or handling an add-in module or
any board assembly.
1) Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until you're ready to install it.
2) Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component.
If you do not have a wrist strap, maintain grounded contact with the system unit
throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
WARNING! Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are extremely sus-
ceptible to electrostatic discharge damage. Do not handle these components direct-
ly unless you are a qualified service technician and use tools and techniques that
conform to accepted industry practices.
