Insert the transceiver into the target slot until it locks into position. Leave the dust plug in the
transceiver until you are ready to attach a fiber cable. Clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cable prior
to plugging it into the optical bores of the SFP transceiver.
Warning
Keep the dust plug in an SFP transceiver when there is no fiber cable plugged
in. The optics will not work properly when obstructed with dust or
contaminants.
3.3.13 Attaching the Network Cables to Line Cards
With your RS 8000/8600 installed and connected to a management console, you are now ready to attach the
RS 8000/8600’s line cards to your network. The RS 8000/8600 uses industry standard copper and fiber cables and
connectors. For information regarding required connector types, cable types, and pin-out assignments, see the tables
associated with each line card in Chapter 2, "Introduction."
Proceed to Chapter 4, "Initial Configuration" for instructions about powering on the RS 8000/8600 and performing
initial configuration.
