  • Page 3 Introduction This document provides procedures for installing optional plug-in media dependent adapters (MDAs) into supported Bay Networks products equipped with an expansion slot. The MDAs can support high-speed connections to servers, shared Fast Ethernet hubs, or backbone devices. Note: The MDAs are not hot-swappable. Power down the switch before installing or removing an MDA.

  • Page 18 1000BASE-LX Multimode Applications For 1000BASE-LX multimode applications, the longwave gigabit transceivers must be mode conditioned externally via a special offset SMF/MMF patch cord. The offset SMF/MMF patch cord allows the same transceiver to be used for both multimode and single-mode fiber. See your Bay Networks sales representative for more information about the SMF/MMF patch cord.
  • Page 19: Installing An Mda

    Installing an MDA The Uplink Module slot on the BayStack 450 switches 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 MDA is not hot-swappable. Power down the switch before installing or removing an MDA.
  • Page 20 Insert the MDA into the chassis slot (see taking care to slide the MDA onto the guides provided on the chassis. Caution: Make sure the MDA slides in on the guides provided. Failure to align the guides could result in bent and broken pins Figure 5.
  • Page 21 After connecting the port cables, continue to follow the instructions in that manual to connect power and verify the installation. Note: The IEEE 802.3u specification requires that all ports operating at 100 Mb/s use only Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. Replacing an MDA with a Different Model When replacing an installed MDA with another type of MDA, complete the following steps to clear the switch...
