Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines
Before you install a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, read the following handling, safety,
and environmental guidelines:
• GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are static sensitive. To prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD), see
"Electrostatic discharge prevention"
(page 11) .
• GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are dust sensitive. When you store a GBIC,
SFP, or XFP, or when you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always
keep a dust cover over the GBIC, SFP, or XFP optical bore.
• To clean contaminants from the optical bores of a GBIC, SFP, or XFP,
use an alcohol swab or equivalent to clean the ferrules of the optical
connector.
• Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.
Electrostatic discharge prevention
To prevent equipment damage, observe the following electrostatic discharge
(ESD) precautions when handling or installing the components.
• Ground yourself and the equipment to an earth or building ground. Use
a grounded workbench mat (or foam that dissipates static charge) and
a grounding wrist strap. The wrist strap should touch the skin and be
grounded through a one megaohm resistor.
