10 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES
The 864 termination FDH 3000 cabinet requires no regular maintenance to insure continuous
and satisfactory operation. Maintenance is limited to repairing or replacing any cabinet
components that may be damaged or broken in the course of normal operation. The following
sections provide procedures for repairing or replacing common cabinet components. Open
cabinet doors and swing frames as needed to access the referenced components.
10.1 Painting
Brush-in-cap type bottles of paint are available for touching-up nicks and scratches in the
factory coat of paint. Lightly sand the area to be painted and then clean it thoroughly to remove
any dirt, dust, or foreign matter. Shake the paint bottle until thoroughly mixed and then apply a
light coat of paint to the damaged area using the small brush attached to the cap. Wait until the
paint is dry and then apply a second coat if necessary. When finished painting, replace the paint
bottle cap and tighten securely.
10.2 Distribution Panel Adapter Replacement
Replacement adapters are available for the distribution panels. Use the following procedure to
remove and replace a damaged adapter:
1. Disconnect the splitter connector from the front side of the broken adapter as shown in
and install a dust cap on the connector.

Warning:
Infrared radiation is invisible and can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not
look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters or
connectors. Exposure to invisible laser radiation may result. An optical power meter should be
used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any
radiating adapter or optical connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation
exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector
.
