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.
To install an MDA:
1.
Unplug the AC power cord from the back of the
switch (or unplug the Passport 8132 module from
the switch backplane).
2.
Loosen the thumb screws and remove the filler
panel (or previously installed MDA) from the
Uplink/Expansion Module slot.
3.
Insert the MDA into the Uplink/Expansion Module
card guides (Figure 11).
Make sure the MDA slides in on the card guides.
Failure to align the MDA to the card guides could
damage the pins.
