2. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
3. To install the transceiver in a port in the top row, position the
transceiver with the Allied Telesis label facing up. To install the
transceiver in a port in the bottom row, position the transceiver with the
label facing down. Refer to Figure 94.
