Required Tools
You need the following tools to install the 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel X2 transceiver module:
•Small flat-blade screwdriver for removing the X2 transceiver socket covers.
•Wrist strap or other personal grounding device to prevent ESD occurrences.
•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to place the transceiver on.
•Fiber-optic end-face cleaning tools and inspection equipment. For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to the white paper at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk876/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml
Installing the 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel X2 Transceiver Module
The 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel X2 transceiver module can have either a spring-loaded latch sleeve or a latch sleeve that is not spring loaded. Both transceiver types are functionally identical.
Note This installation procedure applies to both the spring loaded and non-spring loaded X2 transceivers.
Caution The X2 transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual grounding device when handling X2 transceivers or coming into contact with system modules.
Note Before you install the transceiver module, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 9000 Family for important safety information.
To install an X2 transceiver, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use a small flat-blade screwdriver, to carefully pry the X2 transceiver port cover off of the system module faceplate.
Use the two arrows on the port cover as guides for inserting the screwdriver blade. Save the port cover for future use.
Step 2 Remove the X2 transceiver from its protective packaging.
Note Do not remove the optical bore dust plugs until directed to do so later in the procedure.
Step 3 Check the label on the X2 transceiver body to verify that you have the correct model for your network.
Step 4 Follow these steps to install the X2 transceiver:
a. Insert the X2 transceiver into the transceiver socket on the system module front panel. (See Figure 2, top view.) Continue sliding the X2 transceiver into the socket until the X2 transceiver EMI gasket is flush against the system module faceplate. The X2 transceiver connector is now mated to the socket connector.
b. Verify that the X2 transceiver latches are fully engaged and secure by sliding the transceiver latching sleeve toward the system module faceplate. (See Figure 2, bottom view.)
Caution If the latches are not fully engaged, you may accidently disconnect the X2 transceiver.
Figure 2 Installing the 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel X2 Transceiver Module
Note 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel X2 transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Step 5 Follow these steps to cable an optical X2 transceiver:
Note Before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections, observe the following guidelines:
•Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
•Always inspect and clean the SC connector end-faces just before making any connections.
•Always grasp the SC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
Tip For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to the white paper at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk876/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml
a. Remove the dust plugs from the optical network interface cable SC connectors. Save the dust plugs for future use.
b. Inspect and clean the SC connector's fiber-optic end-faces.
c. Remove the dust plugs from the X2 transceiver module optical bores.
d. Immediately attach the network interface cable SC connectors to the X2 transceiver module. (See Figure 3.)
Figure 3 Cabling an Optical 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel X2 Transceiver Module
Removing the 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel X2 Transceiver Module
Note This removal procedure applies to both the spring loaded and non-spring loaded X2 transceivers.
Caution The X2 transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual grounding device when handling X2 transceivers or coming into contact with modules.
To remove an X2 transceiver, follow these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect the network interface cable from the X2 transceiver connectors. If this is an optical X2 transceiver, immediately reinstall the dust plugs in the X2 transceiver optical bores and the fiber-optic cable SC connectors.
Step 2 Grip the sides of the X2 transceiver latching sleeve with your thumb and forefinger, and pull the latching sleeve out to release the X2 transceiver from the socket connector. (See Figure 4, top view.)
Step 3 Slide the X2 transceiver out of the socket. (See Figure 4, bottom view.) Immediately place the X2 transceiver in an antistatic bag.
Step 4 Reinstall the socket cover if you are not installing an X2 transceiver in the empty socket.
a. Position the socket cover in front of the socket opening.
b. Snap the socket cover in place.
