2.8.3 GBIC Care and Handling

Follow these GBIC maintenance guidelines:

•

Unnecessary removal and insertion of a GBIC can lead to

its premature failure. A GBIC connector has a lifetime of

100 to 500 removals/insertions

•

GBICs are static-sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, follow

your normal board and component handling procedures

•

GBICs are dust-sensitive. When the GBIC is stored or

when a fiber-optic cable is not plugged in, always keep

plugs in the GBIC optical bores

•

Use an alcohol swab or Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of

the optical connector. The most common source of con-

taminants in the optical bores is debris picked up from the

optical connectors

2.9 Installing Optional Emergency Power Supply

To ensure reliability, the IC35516 can be equipped with a 12 VDC

emergency backup power supply (the IC35-EPS12, sold sepa-

rately). When installed, the emergency power supply is in standby

mode, and will automatically take over should the primary unit fail.

To verify the primary system power status, use the

Router# show system

command. Under System Information, the status is listed:

Power Unit Status = OK

The IC35-EPS12 is designed to be a temporary replacement when

the primary power fails, not a permanent replacement.

To install the optional power supply, simply attach the 12VDC con-

nector of the power supply to the jack located in the center of the

rear panel of the switch. Connect the power cord to the power sup-

ply and plug the power cord into an outlet.

Important! The optional power supply becomes HOT under normal

operating conditions. To avoid damage or injury, set the power sup-

ply on a heat-resistant surface and

USE CAUTION

when handling

the unit.
