Installing the Media Converter as a Standalone Unit

The media converter can be installed as a standalone unit (for instance, on a
table) or in a standard 19-inch rack. To install the unit in a rack, refer to
“Installing the Media Converter in a Rack” on page 20. To install the media
converter as a standalone unit, perform these steps:

1.

Remove all equipment from the shipping package and store the package
in a safe place.

Caution

Do not remove the dust covers from the fiber optic ports on the media
converter until you are ready to connect the cables. Dust contamination
can adversely impact the operation of the fiber optic ports.

2.

Select a level, secure surface for the media converter.

3.

Remove the adhesive protecting sheet from the rubber feet included with
the unit and affix the feet to the corners on the bottom of the media
converter, approximately 1 centimeter (0.39 inches) from each edge.

4.

Place the device horizontally on a hard, clean surface (for example, a table
or desk), leaving free space around it for ventilation.

Note

Do not place the unit on other active, heat generating equipment and
avoid placing other devices on top of the media converter.

5.

If you purchased an optional redundant power supply for the media
converter, install the redundant power supply by following the directions
included with the unit.

Note

Do not remove the panel covering the expansion slot for the redundant
power supply unless you intend to install the unit.

6.

Plug the power cord into the back of the unit and plug the other end of the
power cord into a power outlet. If you installed an optional redundant
power supply, plug its power cord into the power supply and the other end
into a power outlet.
