Installing a fiberlinx module – IMC Networks FiberLinX User Manual

receiving a fiber link, FiberAlert disables the media converter's fiber
transmitter, thus mirroring the link status of the opposite end of the fiber.
Both fiber link LEDs on either side of the devices should extinguish, alerting
you to the fault.
NOTE: FiberAlert should only be activated on one side of a media
conversion.
More information on FiberAlert can be found on the IMC Networks Web
site at www.imcnetworks.com/to-fa.htm.
Installing a FiberLinX Module
Once you configure a FiberLinX Module, it is ready to be installed in a
chassis. You can install a FiberLinX Module into any IMC Networks
PowerChassis/100-Series chassis (e.g., PowerChassis/101, etc.). FiberLinX
Modules may be safely installed or removed with power on (i.e., FiberLinX
Modules are hot-swappable). Please read the electrostatic discharge
precautions on page 5.1 of this manual before proceeding
NOTE: FiberLinX Modules should be installed into a PowerChassis
only AFTER the PowerChassis has been installed. Please see the
installation guide included with your chassis for assistance in installing
the chassis.
PowerChassis come with blank brackets covering the slots where the
modules are to be installed. To install a FiberLinX Module, remove the blank
bracket by loosening the screws located on the outside edges of the bracket.
Slide the FiberLinX Module into the chassis until the module is seated
securely in the connector. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening
the captive screws.
