Inserting and Removing a Transceiver
6-6
SmartEdge 1200 Router Hardware Guide
Insert a Transceiver
Perform the following steps to insert a transceiver of any type:
1. Put on an antistatic wrist strap (one is shipped with the system), and attach it to an appropriate grounded
surface.
2. Ensure that the latching mechanism is closed.
3. With the transceiver connectors aligned with the RX and TX labels on the front panel of the traffic card
(as shown in Figure 6-3, Figure 6-4, or Figure 6-5), slide the transceiver into the opening for the port
until the rear connector is seated and the locking mechanism snaps into place.
4. Remove the dust cover if you are installing an optical transceiver.
Remove a Transceiver
Perform the following steps to remove a transceiver of any type:
1. Put on an antistatic wrist strap (one is shipped with the system), and attach it to an appropriate grounded
surface.
2. Release the latching mechanism:
• If the transceiver has a wire handle, unlatch it, and rotate it 90° to 180°.
• If the transceiver has latching tabs, squeeze and hold the tabs.
Caution
Risk of data loss. You can corrupt the system if you attempt to install transceivers (GBICs,
SFPs, or XFPs) that are not approved by Redback because these items have not been tested
with the SmartEdge router. To reduce the risk, install only the transceivers approved by
Redback.
Caution
Risk of ESD damage. Transceivers contain electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the risk
of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling any transceiver. Avoid
touching its connector pins.
Note
Do not attach the wrist strap to a painted surface; an ESD convenience jack is located on the
front of the fan tray.
Note
The labels for a transceiver’s TX and RX connectors vary by vendor. An arrow, which can be
incised on the case, usually indicates the traffic direction.
