Connecting the EWDM Passive Optical System to Your System
Removing the EWDM OADM Module or Booster Amplifier
Caution
When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding strap to avoid ESD damage to the OADM
module.
To remove the OADM module or the multiplexer/demultiplexer module or booster amplifier, follow
these steps:
Step 1
Disconnect all network interface cables from the OADM module or booster amplifier and immediately
install dust plugs in the network interface cable connectors and the OADM connectors.
Step 2
(Amplifier only) Disconnect the power and ground cables from the booster amplifier.
Step 3
Loosen the captive screw on each side of the OADM module or booster amplifier using a Phillips
screwdriver.
Step 4
Gently pull on both captive screws to release the OADM module or booster amplifier from the two-slot
chassis.
Step 5
Pull the OADM module or booster amplifier out of the two-slot chassis, and place it on an antistatic mat
or antistatic foam pad.
Installing and Removing Transceivers
For information on installing, removing, and maintaining the transceivers, refer to:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps5455/prod_installation_guides_list.html
Caution
Transceivers are static-sensitive devices. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual grounding
device when handling or coming in contact with transceivers.
Note
To prevent contamination, do not remove the optical bore dust plugs from the transceivers until directed
to do so.
