The following tools are required to perform these procedures.

■ Fiber optic protective plug (provided with the director).

■ Protective cap (provided with the fiber optic jumper cable).

■ Fiber optic cleaning kit.

Removing an SFP Optical Transceiver

To remove an SFP optical transceiver:

1. Notify the customer that the port with the defective transceiver will be

blocked. Ensure the customer’s system administrator sets the attached device

offline.

2. If the director is installed in a stand-alone configuration, go to step 3. If the

director is rack-mounted, unlock and open the cabinet front door as directed

by the customer representative.

3. Identify the defective port transceiver from the amber LED on the UPM card

or failure information at the HAFM appliance’s Port Card View.

4. Block communication to the port (“Block a Port” on page 207).

5. Disconnect the fiber optic jumper cable from the port:

a. Pull the keyed LC free from the port’s optical transceiver.

b. Place a protective cap over the cable connector.

6. Depending on the manufacturer, the optical transceiver may have a locking

mechanism to secure the transceiver in the port receptacle, or the transceiver

may have a pull tab to assist in removal.

a. If required, disengage the locking mechanism (usually at the left side of

the transceiver) by squeezing the mechanism or pushing it toward the port

receptacle.

b. Grasp the pull tab or the optical transceiver frame and pull the transceiver

(1) from the port receptacle, as shown in Figure 76.
