Replacing the Gigabit Ethernet Short Wave Transceiver
NOTE: To replace the OC-3 ATM transceiver, see the replacement procedures
found later in this chapter.
Replacing the Gigabit Ethernet Short Wave Transceiver
There are several types of short wave transceivers for the Gig-E
interface card. This section provides procedures for both removing
and installing the various types of Gig-E short wave transceivers.
Tools required: No special tools are required.
CAUTION
Attach a wrist strap and follow ESD procedures during the
handling of all electronic components.
The transceivers are hot swappable, which means they can be
replaced while the UltraNet Edge 3000 unit is in operation.
CAUTION
Laser radiation is invisible and can damage the eye.
Unterminated optical connectors may emit laser radiation.
Do not view the beam with the naked eye or with optical
instruments. Dust caps and dust covers MUST be left in
place on all unterminated bulkhead receptacles and on the
end of every radiating fiber jumper.
