This section describes the procedure for removing the crossbar cables (optical).
Enable the removal of the crossbar cables (optical) before attempting to remove them. For details, see "Chapter 7 Maintenance Flow."
Caution - Before you handle the crossbar control cables (optical), wear a wrist strap to ground any static electricity. If you perform this procedure without a wrist strap, individual components or the overall system may be damaged. For details, see "1.4 Notes Regarding Static Electricity."
  1. Remove the two crossbar cables (optical) from the chassis of the physical partition.
    Remove the crossbar cable (optical) by holding the tab (Figure 11-7 and A in Figure 11-8) of the cable and pulling it straight in the direction of the arrow. At this time, do not hold the cable part when pulling the crossbar cable.
Caution - Pulling the cable part without the connector lock completely released may cause damage.
