To ensure optimum performance of the cable, clean the fiber optic cables while
replacing the array controller. Use the polyester cloth from the cleaning kit that
came with the cable. Figure 17 shows the ferrule on a fiber optic cable.

Caution: HP recommends cleaning the fiber optic cable only when replacing
the array controller. Overcleaning can cause damage to the ferrules.
Note: If you are installing a fiber optic cable for the first time, omit this procedure.
Use the following steps to clean the ferrule on a fiber optic cable:
1. Using the polyester cleaning cloth that came with the cable cleaning kit, cover
your fingers, and squeeze one ferrule between two fingers.
2. Rotate the cloth around the ferrule, one or two times.
3. If the first ferrule is clean, move your fingers to a different area of the cloth
and repeat step 1 and step 2 for the remaining ferrule.
