Connecting to an Ethernet Port Chapter 3 Connecting the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect Send document comments to [email protected] Step 3 Step 4 Remove the dust cover from the cable end of the transceiver. Align the cable connector with the transceiver and insert the connector into the transceiver until it clicks into place. Caution If the cable does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned before continuing. For instructions on verifying connectivity, see the Cisco UCS Manager GUI Configuration Guide. Removing a Cable from a Transceiver Caution When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve, because this action can compromise the fiber-optic termination in the connector. Caution If the cable does not remove easily, ensure that any latch present on the cable has been released before continuing. To remove the cable, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Attach an ESD wrist strap and follow its instructions for use. Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the connector from the transceiver. Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver. Insert a dust plug onto the end of the cable. Maintaining Transceivers and Cables SFP+ transceivers must be kept clean and dust-free to maintain high signal accuracy and prevent damage to the connectors. Attenuation (loss of light) is increased by contamination and should be below 0.35 dB. Consider the following maintenance guidelines: • SFP+ transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD wrist strap that is connected to the chassis. • Do not remove and install transceivers more often than is necessary. Repeated removals and installations can shorten its useful life. • Keep all optical connections covered when not in use. If they become dusty, clean before using to prevent dust from scratching the fiber-optic cable ends. • Do not touch ends of connectors to prevent fingerprints and other contamination.

continuing.
To remove the cable, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach an ESD wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 2
Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the
connector from the transceiver.
Step 3
Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.
Step 4
Insert a dust plug onto the end of the cable.
