2-2 Installing the Module ASMi-54C LRS-102 Ver. 2.0

For ASMi-54C modules equipped with Ethernet ports having SFP sockets, it may

be necessary to install, or replace, SFPs. ASMi-54C modules have two installation

positions for SFPs, designated ETH1 and ETH2:

• To install an SFP, use the procedure given in the

Installing an SFP

section

below.

• SFPs may be replaced using the procedure given in the

Replacing an SFP

section below.

ASMi-54C modules equipped with RAD-supplied SFP plug-in modules comply with

laser product performance standards set by government agencies for Class 1 laser

products. The modules do not emit hazardous light, and the beam is totally enclosed

during all operating modes of customer operation and maintenance.

Third-party SFP optical transceivers may be also used, provided they are

approved by an internationally recognized regulatory agency, and comply with

the national laser safety regulations for Class 1 laser equipment. However, RAD

strongly recommends ordering the ASMi-54C with RAD SFPs, as this permits full

performance testing of the supplied equipment.

ASMi-54C modules are shipped with protective covers installed on all the optical

connectors. Keep the covers for reuse, to reinstall the cover over the optical

connector as soon as the optical cable is disconnected.

SFPs installed on ASMi-54C modules may be equipped with a laser diode. In such

cases, a label with the laser class and other warnings as applicable will be

attached near the SFP socket. The laser warning symbol may be also attached.

For your safety:

• Before turning on the equipment, make sure that the fiber optic cable is intact

and is connected to the optical transmitter.

• Do not use broken or unterminated fiber-optic cables/connectors.

• Do not look straight at the laser beam, and do not look directly into the

optical connectors while the module is operating.

• Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current.

• The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.

Laser power up to 1 mW could be collected by an optical instrument.

• Use of controls or adjustment or performing procedures other than those

specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

ATTENTION: The laser beam may be invisible!

Installing an SFP

When installing an optical SFP in an operating module, be aware that it may

immediately start generating laser radiation.
