3.3.1.2 Removing the Side Clip GPIM
To remove the GPIM from a 5PIM, proceed as follows:
1. Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions in the antistatic wrist strap package)
before removing the GPIM.
2. Remove any cables connected to the GPIM.
3. Refer back to Figure 3-4. Locate the locking tabs
➆ on the sides of the GPIM ➀.
4. Squeeze both locking tabs
➆ in towards the center of the GPIM ➀ and hold; then pull the GPIM
out of the port.
5. If storing or shipping the GPIM, insert the dust protector into the GPIM to protect the fiber
ports.
CAUTION: Do NOT remove a GPIM from a slot without unlocking the tabs. This can
damage the GPIM.
The GPIM, 5PIM and module are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist
strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the GPIM, 5PIM or module. Always leave the GPIM in the antistatic
bag or an equivalent antistatic container when not installed.
