Maintaining the TurboIron 24X Hardware
Replacing a power supply
To install a fiber optic module, you will need an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
Follow the steps to install a fiber optic module.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as
ground.
2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the fiber optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The module is keyed to prevent incorrect
insertion.
Cabling a fiber optic module
Follow the steps to cable a fiber optic module.
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.
2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, TurboIron strongly recommends that the cable connectors and the port connectors are
cleaned thoroughly. Refer to
“Installing a new fiber optic module” .
3. Gently insert the cable connector or connectors (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port connector or
connectors until the tabs lock into place.
4. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. For more information about
the LED indicators, refer to
Table 1 on page 37.
Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP+ or SFP) and the fiber cable connectors, TurboIron strongly
recommends that both connectors are cleaned thoroughly each time you disconnect and reconnect them. In particular, dust can
accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, TurboIron recommends that you use the fiber-optic reel-type cleaner that shipped with your
TurboIron device. You can also purchase this type of cleaner from the following Website.

When not using an SFP+ or SFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.
Replacing a power supply
You can replace a power supply while the TurboIron 24X is powered on and running (if two power supplies are installed). The power
supplies are located in slots at the rear of the TurboIron 24X.
