Installing an MDA

The Uplink Module slot on supported BayStack and
Accelar switches can accommodate a single MDA. The
connection can be either an RJ-45 10/100BASE-TX MDA
or a fiber (100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX/LX) MDA
with an SC or MT-RJ connector.
Note: The MDAs are not hot-swappable. Power down
the BayStack switch or disconnect the Accelar module
from the switch backplane before installing or
removing an MDA.
To install an MDA into the Uplink Module slots:
1.
Unplug the AC power cord from the back of the
switch.
2.
Loosen the thumb screws and remove the filler
panel (or previously installed MDA) from the
Uplink Module slot.
Note: If you are replacing an installed MDA with
another type of MDA, see "Replacing an MDA with a
Different Model" on page 24.
3.
Insert the MDA into the Uplink Module card
guides (Figure 6).
Make sure the MDA slides in on the card guides.
Failure to align the MDA to the card guides could
damage the pins.
