Installing a Media Adapter in a BayStack Hub

A BayStack 10BASE-FL media adapter is installed in a slot on
the front of the BayStack 10BASE-T Hub.

To install a media adapter, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the BayStack 10BASE-T Hub power cord from

the AC power source.

2. Remove the filler panel from the media adapter slot on

the front panel of the hub.

3. Install the media adapter into the media adapter slot.

a.

Align the media adapter with the card guides and gently
slide in the media adapter until you feel it align with the
connector on the hub motherboard.

b. Firmly push the media adapter into the connector.

c.

Tighten the captive retaining screw on the media adapter
by turning the screw clockwise.

4. Reconnect the power cord.

The hub powers up and performs a self-test.

5. Make appropriate cable connections.

For cabling information, see the section earlier in this guide
that refers to the media adapter you are installing.

CAUTION:

Do not force or overtighten the

captive retaining screw on the media adapter.
