Cleaning precautions

Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that you keep the ﬁber optic cable plugs

clean by always covering the ends of the cable with the protective dust caps when

the cables are not connected to the ATM adapter. You must also cover the ﬁber optic

sockets on the ATM adapter with their protective dust caps. Special cleaning kits for

cleaning the cables and sockets are commercially available.
