Installing Media Converter Modules
Caution: Observe electrostatic discharge precautions when
installing the media module(s) into the chassis. Failure to observe
this caution could result in damage to the module(s) and/or
chassis.
The Perle media module can be installed in any available slot and
in any order within the MCR chassis.
•
Remove the media module from its packaging.
•
Using a cross-head screwdriver, remove the screw holding the
face plate to the chassis to reveal the slot opening.
•
Set the jumpers and DIP switches on the media module to the
desired operating mode. (optional)
•
Locate the top and bottom alignment guides inside the MCR
chassis.
•
Using the module alignment guides gently slide the module
into the slot until it becomes flush with the front of the chassis.
Light pressure may be needed to seat the module. Do not
force the module as you might cause damage. If there is
resistance, remove the module and check the module
connector for damaged or incorrectly aligned pins. If these are
not damaged, retry to insert the module.
•
Tighten the captive retainer screw to ensure the media module
is locked in place.
•
Remove the dust caps from the fiber connectors and connect
the fiber cables.
