Caution: Observe electrostatic discharge precautions when
installing or removing the Module(s) from the Chassis.
Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the
Module(s) and/or chassis.
Perle Modules can be removed by:
1. Loosen the Captive retainer screw on the front of the
module.
2. Gently pulling the module towards you.
3. Set any jumpers and/or DIP switches on the Module to
the desired operating mode. (Refer to the product guides
that came with your SMI Media Converter).
4. Gently slide the module back 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 damage the module. If
there is resistance, remove the module and check the
module’s backplane connector for damage to the pins. If
the module’s backplane connector is not damaged, try to
reinsert the module again
5. Tighten the Captive retainer screw to ensure the module
is locked in place.
