Installation and User Guide (09/04)

Converters may be placed on a tray, up to a maximum of 16 units. (The mounting spaces of the MC14-TRAY are specific to the “S14”-series, and do not permit other models). A typical installation of the model MC14-TRAY, 19” rack-mount tray will hold a few (often three to eight) S14-series Convenient Switches, with their power supplies plugged into power strips (not included) in the rear area of the tray. Metal mounting screws in the bottom-front hold the Media Converters firmly in place. The beveled-top edge of the units permits the LEDs of each unit to be viewed for operational status, even when the units are very close together.
