Servicing and Upgrading a DPE 3 Precautions When Handling Optical Cables When working with optical cables, observe the following precautions: • Keep the covers on all optical cables and optical GBICs until you are ready to insert the cables. The covers protect the cables and connectors, and prevent foreign particles, such as dust, from entering and affecting the connection. • Avoid tight bends. If you need to make a 90º bend, do it over 6 to 12 inches • Do not use optical cables to support weight. That includes long cable runs without support. • Do not pull long runs of cable. It is best to lay the cable in place or pull only a few feet at a time. • Run the cables so that they are not stepped on or rolled over by anything. 3-8 EMC Fibre Channel Disk-Array Processor Enclosure (DPE) Hardware Reference
