Installing or Removing Modules:

Caution: Observe electrostatic discharge precautions when

installing or removing the Module(s) from the Chassis.

Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to the

Module(s) and/or chassis.

Installing:

If installing or replacing a Media Converter Module,

remove the Module from its packaging.

Using a cross-head screwdriver, remove the screw

holding the face plate (if installed), on the chassis, to

reveal the slot opening.

Set the Module’s DIP switches to the desired operating

mode (refer to the Installation Guide that came with the

Media Converter Module).

Locate the alignment guides inside the slot.

Using the 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 it

properly, however not force the module as this may

cause damage to the connector pins. If there is

resistance, remove the module and check both

connectors for any damage, before re-attempting.

Tighten the Captive retainer screw to ensure the module

is locked in place.

Note: An open slot in the chassis should be covered

with the supplied face plate (available as an accessory).

Removing:

Perle MCR200 Guide

face plate and secure the screw.
