Caution: The XFP module and DFE module are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic
wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so can result in
damage to the XFP module and DFE module. Always leave the XFP module in the antistatic bag or
an equivalent antistatic container when not installed.
Precaución: Utilice la pulsera antiestática y tome todas las precauciones necesarias durante este
procedimiento. Si no lo hace, podría dañar el XFP ni el módulo. Mientras no esté instalado,
mantenga el XFP en su bolsa antiestática o en cualquier otro recipiente antiestático.
Note: A lowercase x indicates the general use of an alphanumeric character (for example, 6x1xx,
the x’s indicate a combination of numbers or letters).
