Installing the Media Converter
Note
The media converter supports hot swapping and can be installed while the chassis
is powered on.
To install the media converter:
Maximum Operating
Distance
1. Remove the slot cover from one of the slots in the Converteon chassis by loosening
the captive screw with a Phillips head screwdriver. The unit can be installed in any of
100 m (328 ft)
the media converter slots.
100 m (328 ft)
100 m (328 ft)
Note
Retain the slot cover and reinstall it if you ever remove the line card. An open slot
allows dust to enter the unit and reduces proper airflow in the chassis.
2. Align the edges of the line card with the guides in the slot and carefully slide the card
into the chassis until it is flush with the front of the chassis. Light pressure may be
needed to seat the module on the connector on the backplane in the chassis.
