FCC Class B Certification
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the regulations for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with this
user’s guide, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in
which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
CE Mark Warning
This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this
product may cause radio interference, in which case the user
may be required to take adequate measures.

Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions
for the Converter.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the
equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme
temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference.
Specifically, the site you select should meet the
following requirements:
1. The ambient temperature should be between 32
and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees
Celsius).
2. The relative humidity should be less than 90
percent, non-condensing.
3. Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed
the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for
IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
4. Make sure that the equipment receives adequate
ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on
each side of the switch or the fan exhaust port on
the side or rear of the equipment.
5. The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of
the switch.

Connecting to Power
1. This Converter is a plug-and-play device.
2. Connect the supplied AC to DC power adaptor
with a power voltage of 7.5Vdc/1.5Amp to the
receptacle on the rear panel of the converter, and
then attach the plug into a standard AC outlet
with a voltage range from 100 to 260 Vac.
Sliding Switch
There is a sliding switch for duplex mode setting for
fiber port. Refer to the table below for more details.

Installing in a Chassis
The Converter can be fit into any of the expansion slots
on a special designed chassis.
Unscrew and pull out the
media converter board
y First, install the converter onto a carrier supplied with
the chassis:
Step 1- Unscrew the carrier from the desired
Step 2- Remove the screw on the converter as shown
Step 3- Fit the converter onto the carrier and use the
expansion slot on the chassis.
