Hardware Installation and Operation
This section describes how to install a 6703 in a UCS 1000 or 1001 chassis or in a Model 1040 or
1050 standalone enclosure.
2.1 Install the Module
You can install the 6703 module in any slot from slot 1 to 15 in the UCS 1000, in either slot in a
UCS 1001, or in a Model 1040 or 1050 standalone enclosure. To install the module, follow these
steps:
1. Unpack and inspect all components. Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you
need to return any equipment; see Appendix A for information about returning equipment.
2. Insert the module in the selected slot, pushing it firmly into the backplane connector. Do not
force it.
3. Hand-tighten the captive screws to secure the module in the chassis.
Note: The 6703 module is hot-swappable and can be inserted or removed at any time without
affecting other modules.
4. Plug the SFP(s) into the port(s); the slot is keyed. To remove an SFP, either lift the bail or press
the button on the SFP, then gently pull it out.
Dirty optical connectors are a common cause of link loss or attenuation problems, especially for
single mode fiber (SMF). Clean the connectors before plugging in a cable and whenever there is a
significant or unexplained light loss. To prevent contamination, always install protective dust covers
on unused fiber optic connectors.
5. Wipe the ferrule and the end-face surface of the male fiber coupler with a lint-free, isopropyl
alcohol pad from a fiber cleaning kit.
6. Use canned air to blow any dust out of the female fiber coupler.
Caution: To avoid damaging the fiber end-surface or connector, use extreme care when
installing or removing cables.
7. Plug in the optical cables with Local to Local and Remote to Remote orientation. The remote
device can be either a CWDM Mux/Demux or a remotely located 6703. See Figures 1 and 2.
• For an SFP, push the cable in until it clicks. To unplug the cable, push the button on the side
of the cable and gently pull.
• If you have a duplex connector, use Tx to Rx, and Rx to Tx orientation.
