2.2 INSTALLING THE EMC38-12 You can install the EMC38-12 in a 19-inch rack or place it on any horizontal surface (e.g. a table or shelf). Cabletron provides an accessory kit with the EMC38-12 that includes Rack Mount Brackets and Mounting Screws.
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION 2.2.1 Rack Mounting the EMC38-12 Before installing the EMC38-12, care must be taken to ensure that the rack used will support the unit and that the rack remains stable with the EMC38-12 installed. In order to allow for proper cooling within the rack, there must be a two inch clearance on either side of the unit.
Figure 2-3 shows the surface requirements for installing the EMC38-12 on a shelf or tabletop. Shelving units must support 30 pounds of static weight. Before you install the EMC38-12, ensure the power source and enviromental conditions meet the requirements specified in Chapter 1.
1. Plug the power cord into the back panel of the EMC38-12. 2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. 3. Verify that the PWR LED is on, this indicates that the EMC38-12 is receiving power.
EMC38-12 and to a 10Base-T compliant ethernet device that has a 50-pin Champ connector (e.g. Cabletron’s ELM or TPRMIM). You can also run a 50-pin feeder cable from the EMC38-12 to a punch down block. The Champ connector supports twelve 10Base-T, twisted pair segments.
10Base-T compliant ethernet device. 3. Check that the link LED on the 10Base-T ethernet device and the applicable TPLNK LED on the EMC38-12 are on. If the LEDs are not on, perform each of the following steps until the LEDs are on: a.

Receive and which is Transmit. When you buy fiber optic cable from Cabletron Systems, it is labeled so that: at one end of the cable, one fiber is labeled 1, and the other fiber is labeled 2. This pattern is repeated at the other end of the cable.
The EMC38-12 is now ready for operation. Before placing the network into service, test the installation thoroughly, making sure that you can address all stations and that the EMC38-12 and all stations are indicating normal operation. Ensure that the networking software is configured properly to match the installed network.
TPLINK 4.1 PWR (Power) • On (Green) - Indicates that the EMC38-12 is receiving power. • Off - Indicates that the unit is not receiving power. Check the input power source (circuit breakers, fuse, power cord, etc.). If the proper source is present, the problem could be with the unit.
fiber segment and the 10Base-FL device at the other end of the segment. The LED will remain on as long as there is a link between the devices and power is supplied to each linked device. • Off - No link. Page 4-2 EMC38-12 USER’S GUIDE...
A.1 10Base-T TWISTED PAIR REQUIREMENTS When you connect a 10Base-T twisted pair segment to the EMC38-12, the device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3 10Base-T specifications. Your 10Base-T twisted pair segment must meet the following requirements.
A.2 10Base-FL MULTIMODE FIBER REQUIREMENTS When you connect a 10Base-FL Multimode Fiber segment to the EMC38-12, the device at the other end of the fiber segment must meet IEEE 802.3j 10Base-FL specifications. Your 10Base-FL Multimode Fiber segment must meet the following requirements.
