Quick Install Guide

For use with the PowerBlade Chassis

Overview

The AT-PB10 Series Fast Ethernet Media Converters are hot swappable
modules designed for the PowerBlade Chassis. These media converters extend
the distance of your network by interconnecting twisted pair cabling and fiber
optic cabling or twisted pair cabling and thinnet cabling. Each media
converter (except for the AT-PB15) features a 10Base-T twisted pair port and
a 10Base-F fiber optic port. The twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and
a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The fiber optic port
has an ST or SC connector and a maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers
(1.2 miles). These units operate at 10 Mbps and feature full-duplex operation.

The AT-PB15 features a 10Base-T twisted pair port and a 10Base2 thinnet
port. The twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating
distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The thinnet port has a BNC-type connector
and a maximum operating distance of 185 meters (606 feet). The AT-PB15
operates at 10 Mbps and features half-duplex operation only.

Installing the Media Converter

1. Remove a blank faceplate from an empty expansion slot on the front of the
chassis. The module can be installed in any expansion slot.

2. Remove the module from the shipping package and store the packaging
material in a safe place. Be sure to observe standard ESD precautions.

3. For an AT-PB15 module, check the setting of the J5 jumper. If the chassis
does not contain an AT-PBM02 management module, set the jumper to the
disabled position. Refer to the PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for
the jumper location.

4. Slide the module into the expansion slot, aligning it with the guiderails
until it firmly connects to the chassis’ backplane.
