excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in the cable management system. Placing
fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.
CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that
are difficult to diagnose.
6. Pull the ejector handle away from the SFP+ faceplate to unseat the SFP+ from the PIC. Pull the SFP+
out of the PIC and place it on the antistatic mat or in the electrostatic bag.
Installing a PTX5000 PIC SFP+ Transceiver
To install a replacement SFP+:
1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to
one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Verify that a rubber safety cap covers the SFP+ transceiver, installing one if necessary.
3. Orient the SFP+ over the port in the PIC so that the connector end will enter the slot first and the
SFP+ connector faces the appropriate direction.
4. Slide the SFP+ into the slot. If there is resistance, remove the SFP+ and flip it so that the connector
faces the other direction.
5. Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and the end of the cable, and 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 cable connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or
removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure
to laser light.
6. Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent the cable from dislodging or
developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to
the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in the cable management system.
Placing fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.
