Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch

Installing an MDA

The Uplink Module slot on the BayStack 450 switches accommodates a single MDA. The connection can be either a 10/100BASE-TX MDA with an RJ-45 connector or a (fiber) 100BASE-FX MDA with an SC or MT-RJ connector.

Note: The MDA is not hot-swappable. Power down the switch before installing or removing an MDA.

To install an MDA into the Uplink Module slot:

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.

Note: If you are replacing an installed MDA with another type of MDA, see “Replacing an MDA” on page B-7.

3.Insert the MDA into the Uplink Module slot guides (Figure B-3).

Make sure the MDA slides in on the guides provided. Failure to align the guides could result in bent and broken pins
