and then open it.
2
Locate the front module slot that corresponds with the matching back module.
3
Gently remove the outer and inner protective caps from the laser connections. (see
Figure 2-5
on page 11).
CAUTION
Microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic
network. Observe strict cleaning procedures. Do not touch the end of the fiber.

.
5
Ensure that your front module matches with a corresponding back module of the same
name, and then slide the module into the guides on the frame floor.

extractor handle closes.

To prevent overheating, keep the front panel closed and all back module plate slots covered
during operation.
