Complete this task to remove fiber optic cables and short form factor pluggables (SFPs).
CAUTION:
This product may contain one or more of the following: CD-ROM,
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, or laser module, which are Class 1 laser products. Please
note the following:
- Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
- Use of the controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION:
Data processing environments can contain
equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at
greater than Class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end
of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle.
Use approved ESD procedures to prevent damage.
Important: Record the locations of the fiber optic cables so
that you can remember their original locations. You must replace the fiber
optic cables in the same ports that you removed them from.
Removing
and replacing cables and SFPs might result in the following effects:
- Disconnecting a host cable might result in loss of access to data if multiple paths from the host to the storage unit have not been configured.
- Disconnecting an Ethernet cable might result in loss of the ability to query and configure the storage unit.
- Disconnecting a cable between enclosures might result in loss of access to the data in all of the subsequently attached storage enclosures.
The fiber optic ports are located on the processor card in the server enclosure.
- Remove the fiber optic cable from the SFP module.
- Replace the protective caps on the fiber optic cable.
- For SFP modules with a plastic tab, pull the plastic tab outward at a 10° angle to release the SFP module latch. For SFP modules with a wire tab, pull the wire tab outward at a 90° angle to release the SFP module latch.
- Grasp the main portion of the SFP module and pull it from the SFP module port. Do not grasp the wire or plastic tab. This might damage the SFP module.
- Replace the protective cap on the SFP module.
- Replace the protective cap on the SFP module port.
