OIU2 Card Installation

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Observe and follow all ESD instructions while handling Tellabs plug-in equipment.

Caution! The Tellabs plug-in equipment uses semiconductor devices that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Do not remove a plug-in from a protective packing box or equipment rack until the time of installation or replacement. To equalize the static charge on the plug-in, establish a body path to the ground using an ESD wrist strap connected to an ESD ground. [If storing or shipping the plug-in becomes necessary, place the plug-in in a conductive shipping box to prevent static buildup.]

Apply the following precautions:

• Use grounded wrist straps, table mats, floor mats
• Handle static-sensitive devices in the nonconductive areas
• Place static-sensitive cards into an antistatic plastic bag    
• Use protective ESD-sensitive packing and shipping bags when returning repairable components

1. Remove the blank faceplate from the appropriate I/O slot of the chassis.
2. Unpack the OIU2 card and inspect for any apparent damage. If there is damage, use the Contact Us link to contact Tellabs about options for replacement.
3. Carefully insert the card into the card guides until the card contacts the backplane connector. Then apply equal pressure on both upper and lower ejectors.
4. Upon insertion, the STAT LED illuminates RED while the card performs internal power-up diagnostics. Upon successful completion of the power-up diagnostics, the STAT LED blinks GREEN at 0.5 second interval while initializing. Upon completion of initialization, the STAT LED illuminates solid GREEN.
5. Install the optical modules into the OIU2 card in preparation for fiber installation.
