Caution
You must replace the fan module with either another 
fan module or a power supply module. The chassis 
must have either two power supply modules or one 
power supply module and one fan module to maintain 
adequate airflow and cooling.
Removing a
Media
Converter
Module
Before removing a media converter module from the 
chassis, refer to the module’s Installation Guide to 
determine whether the module supports hot swapping. If it 
does not, you must power off the chassis before performing 
the procedure to avoid damaging the module.
Caution
A media converter module is sensitive to and can be 
damaged by electrostatic discharge. Wear a 
grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge 
precautions when removing a media converter module 
from the chassis.
To remove a media converter module, perform the following 
procedure:
1.
Disconnect all network cables from the ports on the 
media converter module.
2.
Reinsert the dust covers on the fiber optic ports.
3.
Loosen the two captive screws that secure the module 
to the chassis using a cross-head screwdriver.
4.
Slide the module from the chassis.
5.
Install another media converter module in the chassis’ 
slot or reinstall the AT-MCF2KPNL1 blank panel on the 
slot.
Note
Do not leave the slot open. An open slot allows dust to 
enter the unit and impedes the ability of the chassis to 
maintain proper airflow and cooling.
