3.3. CARE AND HANDLING OF OPTICAL FIBER
The transmission characteristics of the fiber are dependent on the shape of the optical core and therefore
care must be taken to prevent fiber damage due to heavy objects or abrupt fiber bending. Evertz
recommends that the user maintains a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber bending loss that
will decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable.
NOTE:
Never touch the end face of an optical fiber. Always keep dust caps on optical fiber
connectors when not connected and always remember to properly clean the optical end
face of a connector before making a connection.
3.4. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
To successfully install the 570ACO-X19-10G, the following is required:
1. 570 Series Frame
2. 570 Frame Controller
3. Web browser
using the 570FC frame controller with 570ACO-X19-10G installed in frame
Before handling the card, it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is therefore
recommended that an ESD strap be worn.
Locate on the chassis 2 adjacent vacant slots. Unpack the 570ACO-X19-10G and separate the rear panel
from the main card. Locate on the rear of the rack the two slots and remove the blanking panels. Insert
the rear panel into the back of the chassis and secure using the four screws provided.
Now insert the 570ACO-X19-10G card into the corresponding front slots ensuring the card lines up with
the slot runners on the bottom and the top of the chassis. Push the card
firmly
into the slot ensuring that
when it mates with the rear card it has been firmly pushed into a seated position. The card is secured to
the frame with two thumb screws on the front. Hand tighten the thumb screws instead of using a screw
driver to avoid over tightening.
This procedure can be completed on all the other modules. The cards are hot swappable allowing for the
frame to be powered on while installing.
