Removing a Link Module
If there are no empt y slots in your BN plat form, yo u must remo ve a link mod ule to
install the FRE-4-PPC Ethernet link module. When replacing a configured link
module, you must delete all configured circuits (ports) from the slot so that your
software can properly configure the new link module.
For instructions on editing a configuration file and deleting circuits, see
Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager or Using the Bay
Command Console (BCC).
You can install and remove a link module with the chassis power on or off.
Installing the Link Module
Danger:
A potential ener gy ha zard exists during inse rtio n and remo v al of li nk
modules with the power on. Do not remove more than two adjacent modules
without turn ing off the BN.
When you remove a FRE-4-PPC link module with the power on, the services that
slot provides are disrupted. After th e slot fails to receive packets, the other link
modules in the chassis resynchronize their routing tables and continue
uninterrupted.
To remove a link module from a BLN, BLN-2, or BCN platform:
1.
Disconnect any cables from the link module.
2.
Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
BN platforms and link modules ship with an antistatic wrist strap. You must
wear one of these straps whenever you access components in BN platforms.
The antistatic wrist strap directs the discharge of static electricity from your
body to the chassis, thereby avoiding discharge and possible damage to
sensitive electronic components.
Caution:
Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. Always use the
antistatic wrist strap when handling any component in your BN platform.
302156-A Rev 00
3.
Loosen the captive screw on each end of the module (Figure 1-4).
Figure 1-4 show s the capti v e scre ws on a 100B ASE-FX Eth ernet lin k module;
these screws are the same on all link modules.

Connecting Cables
Connect the appropriate cables to the link module ports (Figures 1-6
through 1-8).
Danger:
Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure
your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume
that fiber optic cables are connected to a light source.

Using Multimode Fiber with the 1000BASE-LX Link Module
If you use multimode fibe r (MMF) with the 1000BASE-LX Ethernet lin k module,
you may need to use external, removable mode-conditioning patch cords to
prevent differential mode delay (DMD).
302156-A Rev 00
You can order mode-conditioning patch cords through Bay Networks (SC-SC
Mode Conditioning Patch Cord 62.5/125, Part No. AA0018035). This patch cord
is also available from other vendors including Computer Crafts, Methode
Electronics, Inc., and SIECOR.
For more information about DMD in 1000BASE-LX applications, refer to
