Replacing a fiber optic module
5
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” .
Installing a new fiber optic module
You must install a fiber optic module (SFP+ or SFP transceiver) in each 10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber
port you want to use. You can install a new fiber optic module in a port while the TurboIron device is
powered on and running.
To install a fiber optic module, you will need an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal
surface.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
Follow the steps to install a fiber optic module.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface
(such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.
2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the fiber optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The module
is keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Cabling a fiber optic module
Follow the steps to cable a fiber optic module.
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for
future use.
2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, TurboIron strongly recommends that the cable connectors
and the port connectors are cleaned thoroughly. Refer to “Installing a new fiber optic module” .
3. Gently insert the cable connector or connectors (a tab on each connector should face upward)
into the port connector or connectors until the tabs lock into place.
4. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning
properly. For more information about the LED indicators, refer to Table 5 on page 30.
Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP+ or SFP) and the fiber
cable connectors, TurboIron strongly recommends that both connectors are cleaned thoroughly
each time you disconnect and reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the
connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, TurboIron recommends that you use the fiber-optic reel-type
cleaner that shipped with your TurboIron device. You can also purchase this type of cleaner from
the following Website.
