6.2.1 Installing / Removing a Media Module

Installing a Media Module

For installation, you require a slotted screwdriver with a 2.8 mm wide blade.

Note
Installing a fast Ethernet media module is the same in the SCALANCE X414-3E
and in the media module extender.

1. Remove the cover (see section 6.2.2) from the slot of the media module and

remove the protective cap from the module terminal strip from the backplane of
the basic device.

Note
Keep these parts in a safe place in case you want to remove the media mod-
ule later.

2. Remove the inserted labeling strip from the front of the media module.

3. Place the two lower guides of the media module into the recesses at the lower

edge of the basic device. It should no longer be possible to move the media
module to the side.

4. Tilt the media module at an angle towards the back until the two plastic pins at

the back top edge of the media module jut into the recesses in the basic de-
vice. The terminal strip of the media module must fit into the guide in the back-
plane.

5. Press the upper part of the media module onto the basic device until the fluted

middle section of the media module is heard to click into place.

6. Tighten the captive screw on the front of the media module with a slotted

screwdriver with a 2.8 mm wide blade.

7. Secure the labeling strip on the front of the media module.
