Introduction

Thank you for choosing the DMC-805X, a 10G CX4 to
10G SFP+ Media Converter. The DMC-805X` converts
10G CX4 signals to 10G fiber signals. Comes with an
SFP+ slot for user-selectable fiber transceivers and
extends the network connection to various lengths
depending on SFP+ transceiver capability.

About DMC-805X

The DMC-805X is a high performance 10G media
converter which is flexible for distance extension on a
server equipped with CX4 NIC or previous 10G switch
built with 10G CX4 ports.
The DMC-805X can be used as standalone converter or
installed in D-Link special designed chassis (DMC-1000).
A management option is available for the DMC-805X
installed in the chassis (DMC-1000). The management
module (DMC-1002) lets users monitor in real-time the
status of DMC-805X and power supplies in the chassis. It
also sends out alarms to alert users of abnormal situations.
Management follows industry standards, including SNMP
and http, allowing users to monitor and manage from a
third-party SNMP management workstation or via a web
browser.

Installation

This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions
for the DMC-805X.

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:

5

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. The DMC-805X is a plug-and-play device.

2. Connect the supplied AC to DC power adaptor with a

power voltage of 12Vdc/0.5Amp to the DC-Jack on
the converter, and then attach the plug into a standard
AC outlet.

Installing in a Chassis

The DMC-805X can be fit into any of the expansion slots
on D-Link special designed chassis (DMC-1000).
