6. Locate the slot guides that line up with the number of the slot in which the module will be
installed. Install the module in the chassis by aligning the module circuit card between the upper
and lower metal rail guides of the desired slot, sliding it into the chassis, and locking down the
top and bottom plastic locking tabs, as shown in
. Take care that the module slides in
straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.
7. If the chassis in which the module is installed was powered down for the installation, turn it
back on. Check to see that the CPU LED settles at solid green after a few minutes. If the LED
does not turn solid green, see
for details.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This section provides the procedures for connecting unshielded twisted pair (UTP) segments from
the network or other devices to the 5H102-48 (
), or the 5H103-48 (
). For
details on how to get manuals, refer to the
3.3.1
Connecting UTP Cables to the 5H102-48
The fixed front panel ports of the 5H102-48 are 10/100 RJ45 ports with internal crossovers. When
connecting a workstation to these ports, use a straight-through cable. When connecting networking
devices to these ports, such as a bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable.
Connect a twisted pair segment to the 5H102-48 as follows:
1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON.
2. Connect the twisted pair segment to the 5H102-48 by inserting the RJ45 connector on the
twisted pair segment into the desired RJ45 port as shown in
.
NOTE: If the module is being installed in a network using Port Trunking, there are rules
concerning the network cable and port configurations that must be followed for Port
Trunking to operate properly. Before connecting the cables, refer to the
MATRIX E5
Series Modules Local Management User’s Guide for the configuration information.
NOTE: All RJ45 front panel ports on the 5H102-48 support Category 5 Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. Category 3
cable may be used if the connection is going to be used only for 10 Mbps.
