Figure 6 Removing an interface module (M9000-AI-E16)
Replacing a transceiver module
WARNING!
•
Disconnected optical fibers or transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare
into beams or view directly with optical instruments when the gateway is operating.
CAUTION:
•
Do not touch the golden plating on a transceiver module.
•
If you are no to install a transceiver module in a fiber port, insert a dust plug into the port.
•
Make sure the transceiver modules at the two ends of an optical fiber are the same model.
To replace a transceiver module
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2.
Remove the optical fiber from the transceiver module.
To remove the optical fibers with an LC connector, press the clips on the connector to pull
the LC connector out of the port, as shown in
To remove the optical fiber with an MPO connector, hold the front end of the MPO connector
to pull the connector out of the port, as shown in
3.
Pull down the bail latch on the module to the horizontal position (skip this step for transceiver
modules with a plastic bail latch). Hold the bail latch to pull the module horizontally and slowly
out of the port.
If the interface module is densely populated with transceiver modules, use tweezers to pull the
module out.
4.
Insert dust plugs into the transceiver module and put the module into a packaging bag.
5.
Install a new transceiver module in the port. For the installation procedure, see "Installing the
gateway."
