2.3 Installing the 9120 Media Converter
The 9120 Media Converter can be easily installed in the Canoga Perkins Model 9101 LAN Chassis,
attached to vertical or horizontal surfaces, or used in a tabletop configuration. As with all electronic
devices, adequate air flow should be provided around the unit since some heat is generated.
The 9120 should not be placed on top of another device that also generates heat. The cumulative heat
can cause the internal temperature of the 9120 to exceed its design specifications which could
potentially lead to inconsistent operation.
2.3.1 Standalone Unit
In addition to being placed on a desktop, the 9120 standalone can be attached to the side of any
surface (PC, cabinet, desk, etc.). An attachment kit is shipped with the 9120 standalone unit for this
purpose.
Wherever the unit is mounted, the decision for the location will include determining a mounting place
for a transformer as well. The power supply is furnished with a 6-foot power cord. The connector for
the power supply is located on the rear panel of the unit.
2.3.2 Rackmount Installation
Up to twelve 9120 Media Converters can be inserted into a Canoga Perkins Model 9101 LAN Chassis
for high-density installation (see Figure 8).
