Replacing a fiber optic module

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
NOTE
The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the mini-GBIC.
5. Grasping the bail latch, pull the copper or fiber optic module out of the port.
6. Store the copper or fiber optic module in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.
7. Install a new copper or fiber optic module in the port. For information about performing this
task, refer to “Installing a new fiber optic module” .
Installing a new fiber optic module
You must install a fiber optic module (SFP or XFP transceiver) in each Gigabit Ethernet and
10-Gigabit Ethernet fiber port you want to use.
You can install a new copper or fiber optic module in a port while the Brocade device is powered on
and running.
To install a fiber optic module, you will need an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal
surface.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
To install a copper or fiber optic module, do the following:
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface
(such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.
2. Remove the new module from its protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the copper or fiber optic module into the port until the module clicks into place.
The module is keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Cabling a fiber optic module
To cable a fiber optic module, do the following:
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber optic port connectors and store the covering for
future use.
2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable
connectors and the port connectors. Refer to “Cleaning the fiber optic connectors” on page 97.
3. Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the port
connector until the tabs lock into place.
