Installing or Replacing Media
Converter Modules
Caution: Observe electrostatic discharge precautions when
installing the Media Converter Module(s) into the Chassis. Failure

The Perle Media Converter Modules can be installed in any
available slot and in any order within the chassis.
Installing or Replacing a Media Converter
Module
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.
