2.8.3 GBIC Care and Handling

Follow these GBIC maintenance guidelines:

• Unnecessary removal and insertion of a GBIC can lead to

its premature failure. A GBIC connector has a lifetime of

100 to 500 removals/insertions

• GBICs are static-sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, follow

your normal board and component handling procedures

• GBICs are dust-sensitive. When the GBIC is stored or

when a fiber-optic cable is not plugged in, always keep

plugs in the GBIC optical bores

• Use an alcohol swab or Kim -Wipe to clean the ferrules of

the optical connector. The most common source of con-

taminants in the optical bores is debris picked up from the

optical connectors

2.9 Installing Optional Emergency Power Supply

To ensure increased reliability for mission-critical applications, the

IC35160 can be equipped with a 12VDC emergency backup power

supply (the IC35-EPS12, sold separately). When installed, the

emergency power supply is in standby mode. Should the primary

unit fail, the DC backup automatically switches on and the LED on

the front panel lights. In addition, an SNMP fault notice is sent.

Should the IC35-EPS12 become active due to a fault with the pri-

mary power, the unit should be swapped out at the earliest conven-

ience and sent for repair. The IC35-EPS12 is designed to be a tem-

porary replacement when the primary power fails, not a permanent

replacement.

To install the optional power supply, simply attach the 12VDC con-

nector of the power supply to the jack located in the center of the

rear panel of the switch. Connect the power cord to the power sup-

ply and plug the power cord into an outlet.

Important! The optional power supply becomes HOT under normal

operating conditions. To avoid damage or injury, set the power sup-

ply on a heat-resistant surface and USE CAUTION when handling

the unit.
