LED's:
Fiber Port: Link -	Lit green LED indicates the Slide-In Card is receiving link
	pulsed from a 10Base FL (or FOIRL) compliant device.
Enable -	Lit green LED indicates current link between fiber
	connections. Only the active enable (1 or 2) LED will
	appear.
Fault -	Lit red LED indicates a break in both fiber links 1 and 2.

SQE Switch:

The SQE (Signal Quality Error) heartbeat selection jumper can be positioned ON to enable the SQE or positioned OFF to disable the SQE. The SQE jumper is located on top of the transceiver printed wiring circuit board. The transceiver SQE is set to the OFF position at the factory. (Refer to Figure 1 on the front page of this guide.)

SQE Enable Position (ON): The transceiver SQE is positioned ON when connected to a workstation or DTE.

SQE Disable Position (OFF): The transceiver SQE is positioned OFF when connected to a Hub or Repeater.

Installation Considerations:

Personnel can hot swap, install or remove a Slide-In Card with the hub unit power

The Slide-In cards can only be installed one way, with the components facing up. Carefully guide the Slide-In Card along the card guides, until the Slide-In Card flat connector and internal backplane meet. Carefully seat the connector into the backplane slot. Firmly push the card into the slot until the Slide-In Card face plat is flat against the back of the hub frame. Tighten the thumbscrews of the installed Slide-In Card into the threaded holes on the hub unit.
