Installing
MII Modules
The IntraSwitch has two Media Independent Interface (MII)
expansion slots which allow for the addition of various types of
media access modules, including:
❏ 10/100Base-TX
❏ 100Base-FX
❏ 10Base-FL (available with SC or ST connector)
The MII modules are sold separately and comply with IEEE
802.3 and 802.3u (10/100Base-T and 100Base-FX) specifica-
tions.
To install an MII module:
▲ Important: The MII modules are hot-swappa-
ble; you can install and/or remove a module
without turning the switch’s power off.
1
Unscrew the metal cover from the front of an
MII expansion slot (located on the IntraSwitch’s
back panel) using a small Phillips screwdriver.
See Figure 2-7.

Slide the MII module into the expansion slot
until it stops, then push the module in until it
seats with the connector. See Figure 2-8.
