2.2.3 Media Converter Slots
The system chassis provides sixteen slots for installing optional slide-in MCs. A media
converter can be inserted into an available slot or removed from a slot anytime even when
system unit is powered on. This hot-plug design keeps all exiting connections on the other slots
running with no influence.
To insert an MC into a slot, the steps are:
1. Install a bracket, which is provided in the rack chassis package onto the MC unit as shown
below:
2. Remove slot cover first and insert the MC into slot slowly until it is seated in slot properly.
3. Screw the bracket onto system chassis securely before making any cable connection.
To remove an MC from slot, the steps are:
1. disconnect all cable connections on the MC first.
2. Unscrew the MC bracket from system chassis.
3. Hold the bracket and pull it slowly out from the slot.
The media converters are designed with hot-plug feature, which allows insertion and removal of
the converters can be performed even when the system is in operation.
