Inserting and Removing Test Modules

To insert a module into the FTB-500:
1.
Exit ToolBox and turn off your unit (shut down, not hibernate or sleep).

2. Position the FTB-500 so that its right panel is facing you.

3. Take the module and place it so that the connector pins are at the

back, as explained and shown below.

C

AUTION

Never insert or remove a module while the FTB-500 is turned on.
This will result in immediate and irreparable damage to both the
module and unit.

C

AUTION

To avoid damaging your unit, use it only with modules approved by
EXFO.

ARNING

When the laser safety LED (

) is flashing on the FTB-500, at least

one of your modules is emitting an optical signal. Please check all
modules, as it might not be the one you are currently using.

C

AUTION

Inserting a module upside down could result in permanent damage
to the module, as the connector pins might be bent.
