Juniper MX10008, Hardware Manual

WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting
or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending
the cables beyond their minimum bend radius can damage the cables and cause
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
4. Remove the cable connected to the transceiver (see “Disconnecting a Fiber-Optic Cable from a Router”
on page 269 ).
5. Cover the transceiver and the end of each fiber-optic cable connector with a rubber safety cap
immediately after disconnecting the fiber-optic cables.
6. By using your fingers, pull the ejector lever away from the transceiver to unlock the transceiver.
CAUTION: Before removing the transceiver, make sure you open the ejector lever
completely until you hear it click. This prevents damage to the transceiver.
7. Grasp the transceiver ejector lever, and gently slide the transceiver approximately 0.5 in. (1.3 cm)
straight out of the port.
CAUTION: To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the transceiver, do
not touch the connector pins at the end of the transceiver.
8. By using your fingers, grasp the body of the transceiver and pull it straight out of the port.
9. Place the transceiver in the electrostatic bag or on the antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface.
10. Cover the empty port with the dust cover or install the replacement transceiver into the port.
