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 MCR Chassis.
Installing or Replacing a Media Converter Module
1. Remove the Media Converter 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.
6. Tighten the captive retainer screw to ensure the Media
Converter Module is locked in place.
