Installing an MDA
The MDA slot on the Passport 8132TX module accommodates 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 hot-swappable in an operating Passport 8132TX
module; however, the module resets when an MDA is inserted or removed.
To install an MDA:
Loosen the retaining screw at each end of the module.
1.
Use the inserter/extractor levers to disconnect the module from the
2.
chassis backplane connector.
Loosen the thumbscrews and remove the filler panel (or previously
3.
installed MDA) from the MDA slot.
Insert the MDA into the slot
4.
onto the guides provided on the module backing.
Caution: Make sure the MDA slides in on the guides provided. Failure to
align the guides could result in bent and broken pins.
