Gigabit Media Converter Module – Installation Guide

Installing or Replacing Media Converter Modules

Caution: Observe electrostatic discharge precautions when

installing the Media Converter Module(s) into the Chassis. Failure

to observe this caution could result in damage to the Module(s)

and/or chassis.

The Perle Media Converter Modules can be installed in any

available slot and in any order within the chassis.

1. Remove the Module from its packaging.

2. Using a cross-head screwdriver, remove the screw holding the

face plate to the Chassis to reveal the slot opening.

3. Set the jumpers and DIP switches on the Media Converter

Module to the desired operating mode.

4. Locate the top and bottom alignment guides inside the MCR

Chassis.

5. Using the module alignment guides gently slide the module

into the slot until it becomes flush with the front of the Chassis.

Light pressure may be needed to seat the module. Do not

force the module as you might cause damage. If there is

resistance, remove the module and check the module

connector for damaged or incorrectly aligned pins. If these are

not damaged, retry module insertion.
