Removing Xenpak Connectors
Xenpaks modules can be hot swapped. You are not required to power off the switch before removing a
Xenpak from an OS8-10GNI-UR1 module. To remove a Xenpak follow the steps below.
Note.
Before handling any components, free yourself of static by wearing a grounding strap, or by ground-
ing yourself properly. Static discharge can damage the Xenpak, as well as the Gigabit Ethernet fiber
module. Refer to
“Using the Grounding Wrist Strap and Chassis Grounding Lug” on page 5-29
for more
information.
1
Remove any SC cables from the Xenpak.
2
Untighten the two captive screws by turn them counterclockwise.
3
Slide the Xenpak out of the module’s port.
4
Store the Xenpak in a secure, static-free location. Placing the Xenpak in an anti-static bag is recom-
mended.
Note.
If you do not replace the Xenpak module with another one attach the blank slot cover plate to the
OS8-10GNI-UR1’s front face with the screws supplied with your NI module.
