Replacing a transceiver module
WARNING!
When you install or remove a transceiver module:
•
Do not stare at the fibers to avoid hurting your eyes.
•
Do not touch the golden plating on the module.
Make sure the optical transceiver modules at the two ends of an optical fiber are the same model. In
case of limited space, you can use the supplied tweezers to install or remove a transceiver module
as a best practice.
