Installing the Media Converter
1. Remove a blank faceplate from an empty expansion slot on the front of the
chassis. The module can be installed in any expansion slot.
2. Remove the module from the shipping package and store the packaging
material in a safe place. Be sure to observe standard ESD precautions.
3. For an AT-PB15 module, check the setting of the J5 jumper. If the chassis
does not contain an AT-PBM02 management module, set the jumper to the
disabled position. Refer to the PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for
the jumper location.
4. Slide the module into the expansion slot, aligning it with the guiderails
until it firmly connects to the chassis’ backplane.
5. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the thumbscrew.
6. Verify that the PR LED on the front of the unit is green.
7. Set the LT/ML switch to the ML (MissingLink) position (AT-PB13 or
AT-PB14 only).
8. Set the MDI/MDI-X switch for the 10Base-T port to the appropriate
setting.
9. Connect the data cables.
10. The AT-PB10 series module is now ready for use. Repeat this procedure to
install additional AT-PB10 series modules.
Refer to the PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for additional
information.
