Slide-in-Modules
2.1
Media Converter Slide-in-Modules
Transition Networks media converter slide-in-modules, installed in slots at the front
of the chassis, allow the network administrator to connect various copper and fiber-
optic network media over protocols that include Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, DS3/E3,
and OC-12 as well as many others (see www.transition.com for a complete listing.)
NOTE:
Refer to the user’s guide that comes with each media converter slide-in-
module for cable, connector, and LED indicator information specific to that media
converter slide-in-module.
2.1.1
Chassis Face Plates
CAUTION: Slots in the CPSMC19xx-100 chassis without a slide-in-module
installed MUST have a protective chassis face plate (P/N CPSFP-200) covering the
empty slot for Class A compliance.
Install a chassis face plate over any unused chassis slot by aligning the hole in the
face plate with the threaded hole in the chassis. Secure the face place with the
enclosed bolt.
2.1.2
Calculating the Power Consumption
CAUTION:
Before installing the media converter slide-in-modules, refer to the
power consumption data for each individual media converter (provided in the user’s
guide shipped with each media converter).
The combined power consumption of
all devices must not exceed the available power supply.
Failure to observe this
caution could result in diminishing system reliability.
In other words, the combined power requirements of the CPSMC19xx-100 chassis
plus
all slide-in-modules must be
less than
the available power.
Contact Transition Networks Tech Support to ensure the power requirements for
your specific application do not exceed the available power.
