2–6 Compaq StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.5 Maintenance and Service Guide
CAUTION: It is only necessary to clean the Fibre Channel optical cable when replacing
a controller. Overcleaning might cause damage to the ferrules.
NOTE: When installing a cable for the first time, it is not necessary to follow this procedure.
1. Using the polyester cleaning cloth that came with the cable cleaning kit, cover your
fingers and squeeze one ferrule between two fingers.
2. Rotate the cloth around the ferrule one or two times.
3. When the first ferrule is clean, move your fingers to a different area of the cloth and
repeat step 1 and step 2 for the remaining ferrule.
Cleaning the GLM
When replacing a GLM, it is important to clean its receptacles to ensure optimum
performance. Use the following steps to clean a GLM:
1. Take out the polyester swab from the cleaning kit that came with the Fibre Channel
optical cable.
CAUTION: Do not exert excessive force when the swab reaches its stopping point,
and do not repeat this procedure frequently. Failure to comply with this caution might
cause scratching on the GLM and ultimately damage the optic connection.
Overcleaning might cause damage to the GLM.
2. Gently insert the lint-free polyester swab into the transmit-side of the optical GLM
cavity (see Figure 2–3).
