1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to an ESD
grounding point.
2. Take each transceiver to be installed out of its electrostatic bag, and identify the slot on the
component where it will be installed.
3. Verify that each transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the transceiver with a
safety cap.
4. Carefully align the transceiver with the slots in the component. The connectors should face the
component.
5. Slide the transceiver until the connector is seated in the component slot. If you are unable to fully
insert the transceiver, make sure the connector is facing the right way.
6. Close the ejector handle of the transceiver.
7. Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and the end of the cable. Insert the cable into the
transceiver.
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
8. Verify that the status LEDs on the front panel indicate that the transceiver is functioning correctly.
For more information about the component LEDs, see the
"LEDs on ACX500 Routers" on page 59
