Installing an MDA
The Uplink Module slot on the BayStack 450 switches accommodates a single
MDA. The connection can be either an RJ-45 10/100BASE-TX MDA or a fiber
(100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX/LX) MDA with an SC or MT-RJ connector.
To install an MDA into the Uplink Module slot, follow these steps:
1.
Unplug the AC power cord from the back of the switch.
2.
Loosen the thumb screws and remove the filler panel (or previously
installed MDA) from the Uplink Module slot.
3.
Insert the MDA into the chassis slot (see Figure B-5) taking care to slide
the MDA onto the guides provided on the chassis.
Figure B-5. Installing an MDA
Note:
The MDA is not hot-swappable. Power down the switch before
installing or removing an MDA.
Note:
If you are replacing an installed MDA with another type of MDA, see
“
Replacing an MDA with a Different Model” on B-12.
Caution:
Make sure the MDA slides in on the guides provided. Failure to
align the guides could result in bent and broken pins.
