Replacing an MDA with a Different Model
When replacing an installed MDA in a BayStack switch
with another type of MDA, clear the switch NVRAM:
1. Power down the switch.
Remove the AC power cord from the power source.
2. Remove the installed MDA.
Loosen the thumbscrews and remove the MDA.
3. Cycle the switch power.
Power up the switch and wait for the Nortel Networks
logo screen to appear (approximately 20 seconds);
then power down the switch.
4. Install the replacement MDA.
Be sure to
firmly
tighten the two thumbscrews on the
MDA front panel.
5. Power up the switch.
Note: The IEEE 802.3u specification requires that all
ports operating at 100 Mb/s use only Category 5
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling.
