Fiber optic module replacement

• The protective covering that you removed from the fiber optic module when you initially

installed the module.

Follow the steps given below to remove a fiber optic module from a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit

Ethernet port.

1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface

(such as an equipment rack).

2. Disconnect the fiber cable connector from the port connector.

3. Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.

4. Pull the fiber optic module out of the port by pulling the bail latch forward, away from the front

panel of the module. This unlocks the module from the front panel.

NOTE

The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the mini-GBIC.

5. Grasping the bail latch, pull the fiber optic module out of the port.

6. Store the fiber optic module in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.

7. Install a new fiber optic module in the port. For information about performing this task, refer to

“Installing a new fiber optic module” on page 71.

Installing a new fiber optic module

You must install a fiber optic module (SFP or XFP transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and

10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber port you want to use.

You can install a new fiber optic module in a port while the NetIron CES and NetIron CER 2000

Series device is powered on and running.

Before installing one of these modules into the port, obtain an ESD wrist strap with a plug for

connection to a metal surface.
