Chapter 1 Install the Switch
Attach Expansion Modules
(optional)
The switch can operate as a standalone device with two uplink ports and four or
eight Fast Ethernet ports, or you can increase the number of Fast Ethernet ports
by 8 or 16 by connecting expansion modules.
You can install as many as two expansion modules per base unit. However, only
one of the two modules can be a 1783-MX08F or 1783-MX08S fiber expansion
module.
If you install a 1783-MX08F or 1783-MX08S fiber expansion module, the
module must be in the right-most position, as shown below.
Depending on the mix of switches and expansion modules, you can have as many
24 Fast Ethernet ports.
IMPORTANT
If you are adding expansion modules, attach the expansion modules to the
switch before mounting the switch.
