  • Page 37: Installing An Mda

    Installing an MDA The Uplink/Expansion Module slot on supported 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 switch or disconnect the Passport 8132 module from the switch backplane before installing or removing an MDA.
  • Page 38 Uplink/Expansion Module 1 = Card guides 2 = Uplink module slot Figure 11. Installing an MDA Press the MDA firmly into the Uplink/Expansion Module slot. Be sure that the MDA is fully seated into the mating connector. Secure the MDA by tightening the thumb screws on the MDA front panel.

  • Page 39: Replacing An Mda

    Attach devices to the MDA ports. Refer to your switch’s User Guide for instructions on attaching devices to the MDA ports. After connecting the port cables, follow the instructions 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.

    Installing GBICs This section describes how to install the gigabit interface converters (GBICs) to your 450-1GBIC MDA’s Host port. The following optional GBIC versions are available to support your 450-1GBIC MDA: Table 13. Available GBIC Models Model number Description 1000BASE-SX Uses shortwave 850 nm fiber optic connectors to connect devices over multimode (550 m/...
  • Page 41 The GBICs are available in different case styles (Figure 12). One type has two spring tabs at the front of the GBIC; the other type has an extractor handle on the front. GBICs are shipped with a protective rubber plug in the connectors.
  • Page 42 To install a GBIC: Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging. Insert the GBIC into the Host port on the MDA (Figure 13). GBICs are keyed to prevent improper insertion. If the GBIC resists pressure, do not force it. Remove it, turn it over, and reinsert it.
  • Page 43 Removing an Installed GBIC To remove an installed GBIC: If the GBIC has spring tabs, press in on the tabs on each side of the GBIC as you pull the GBIC out of the MDA’s Host port (Figure 14).

    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 Nortel Networks sales representative for more information about the SMF/MMF patch cord. The 1000BASE-LX transceiver is designed to mechanically accommodate the single-mode ferrules used on one end of the special offset SMF/MMF patch cord.
