Chapter 3 Removing and Installing Port Adapters
Replacing the SFP Optics Module
To remove the SFP optics module, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Attach an ESD wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD connection socket on the chassis or to a bare
metal surface on the chassis or frame
Step 2
Disconnect the network fiber cable from the SFP optics module connector.
Step 3
Remove the SFP optics module from the slot.
a.
Using your thumb and forefinger, grip the colored latching band on the front of the SFP optics
module.
b.
Gently push the latching band back toward the SFP slot. You may hear a click or feel the SFP optics
module disengage from the holding latch.
Note
Not all SFP modules have the same kind of latching mechanism.
c.
While still holding the latching band, pull the SFP optics module forward and out of the slot.
Step 4
Set the SFP optics module aside on an antistatic surface.
Installing the SFP Optics Module
Use the following procedure to install the SFP optics modules:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.
Step 2
Verify that you have the correct SFP for your installation.
a.
Check the part number and distance information on the SFP optics module label.
b.
Or, if the distance information isn’t on the label, use the
show controller pos x/y
command to
display the information after the SFP optics module is installed. See
“Verifying the SFP Installation”
for directions.
Step 3
Align the SFP optics module with the slot so that the label is facing away from the handle.
Step 4
Holding the module at the latching band (with your thumb and forefinger), insert the SFP optics module
into the slot on the port adapter. See
.
Step 5
Push the module back into the slot until the latch engages. When fully inserted, only the band around the
front of the SFP optics module is visible.
Step 6
Remove the plug from the SFP optical bores and save the plug for future use.
Step 7
Attach the network interface fiber-optics cable, as described in the
“Connecting PA-POS-2OC3 Interface
.
