Removing Fiber-Optic Interface Cables
To remove line card interface cables, refer to Figure40 (showing one possible arrangement) and follow
these steps:
Step1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap to your wrist and follow its instructions for use.
Step2 Press on the spring-action disconnect latch to disconnect the interface cable connectors from the line
card interface ports.
Warning
Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected.
Avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.
Note You do not have to remove the interface cables from the line card cable-management bracket.
Step3 Insert a dust plug into the optical port openings of each port that is not being used.
Step4 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the ends of the line card cable-management
bracket.
Step5 Detach the line card cable-management bracket and optical fiber cable bundle from the line card and
place it carefully out of the way. (See Figure40B.)
