- Page 28 Figure 10 Installing an MDA Uplink/Expansion Module 1 = Card guides 2 = Uplink module slot 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 29 For instructions on attaching devices to the MDA ports, refer to the publication for your switch. 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.
