Managing the Ruckus ICX 7450
FRU removal and replacement procedures
3.
Unlock the fiber-optic transceiver by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front of the slot.
NOTE
On 1000Base-SX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a black sleeve, and on 1000Base-LX ports, the bail latch is enclosed in a
blue sleeve.
NOTE
The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+ transceiver.
4.
Grasp the bail latch and pull the fiber-optic transceiver out of the slot.
5.
Store the copper or fiber-optic transceiver in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.
6.
Install a new fiber-optic transceiver in the slot.
Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver
Use the following steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver.
1.
Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.
NOTE
Before cabling a fiber-optic transceiver, Ruckus strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors. For
more information, refer to
“Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors”
2.
Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the transceiver connector until the tabs lock
into place.
3.
Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly.
Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+) and the fiber cable connectors,
Ruckus strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the
connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Ruckus recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. When not using an SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+
connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.
FRU removal and replacement procedures
The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the Ruckus ICX 7450 can be removed and replaced by using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. The
switches can continue operating during the FRU replacement if the conditions specified in these procedures are followed. This covers
both the power supply unit (PSU) FRUs and fan FRUs.
If a mismatched power source or fan tray is installed by mistake, a warning is sent to the console. The warning messages will be similar to
the following:
CAUTION
This document describes how to change FRUs for units with either an air intake or air exhaust. You must replace a failed FRU
with a FRU of the same type. This applies to both power supplies and fans. A new FRU must have the same part number
(P/N) as the FRU being replaced. The manufacturing P/N is located on the top of the FRU.
