Installing a Media
Dependent
Adapter
To install an MDA, do the following:
1. Disconnect the switch’s power cord.
2. Unscrew the 3 flathead Phillips screws on the switch’s blank faceplate
and save the faceplate and screws for future use.
Caution
Make sure the MDA blank panel is attached to the unit if the MDA
slot is vacant.
3. Unpack the MDA, making sure to observe ESD precautions.
The standoff on the MDA guides the adapter correctly into
position so that the 50-pin plug aligns with the 50-pin receptacle
on the main board. See Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5 when
performing the next step.
4. Slide the MDA into its empty slot making sure that the standoff is
aligned properly.
5. Push the MDA into position so that the front panel contacts the front
of the switch’s chassis. See Figure 2-4.
