Install DBMs
If the Dual Bypass Modules (DBMs) are not already installed when you receive the unit, install them by sliding them
into the DBM slots in the front panel. DBMs can be installed in any or all of the four slots; if you do not populate all
of the slots, it does not matter which ones you leave empty. If there is a plate covering the DBM slot, remove it by
unscrewing two thumb-screws; then install the DBM module. The DBM circuit boards slide in the rails provided in the
slots. Push in the DBM firmly until you feel the connectors mate and the bezel is flush with the front panel, but do not
force them. If you encounter resistance, withdraw the module and try again, making sure to align the circuit board in the
rails and slide the module straight in. When the DBM is fully seated, fasten it to the front panel with the two captured
thumbscrews. Unused slots should be protected with blank cover plates.

DBMs can be hot-swapped, that is, you can remove and insert DBMs while the iBypass HD is under power and operating.
Tip! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
You can remove DBMs from the iBypass HD chassis without disconnecting the network cables. Network traffic will
keep flowing because the DBM module itself is a fully passive network Tap. In fiber DBMs, optical switches keep the
network paths open when the DBM is unpowered, even if it is removed from the chassis. In copper DBMs, mechanical
relays keeps the network paths open to traffic.

Install SFP Modules
SFP modules are shipped separately. Install them as desired in the SFP slots in the DBMs in the front of the chassis. For
each module, remove the temporary plug from the SFP slot and insert the module until it clicks into place.
Note: __________________________________________________________________________________________________
Net Optics warrants operation with SFP modules sold by Net Optics only.
