Installing a BigIron RX-32 switch
2
Using the Insertion or Extraction tool
Due to the high density of cables that the BigIron RX-32 chassis can support, it may be difficult to
insert and remove the RJ-45 and optical connectors. An insertion or extraction tool has been
provided in the BigIron RX-32 accessory kit to make this task easier. Refer to Figure 44.
FIGURE 44 Insertion or extraction tool
Use the tool to grasp the boot or the plug of the modular connector at its narrow end (the end
closest to the attached cable), and insert the connector into the proper interface module. Grasping
the boot or plug at the wide end during insertion may cause the tool to be difficult to release and
remove.
