Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or
infrared light that can injure your eyes. Neve r look into
an optical fiber or co nnector port. Always assume that
fiber optic cables are connecte d to a light source.
Warning: Vorsicht: Glasfaserkomponenten kö nnen
Laserlicht bzw. Infrarotlicht abstrahlen, wodurch Ihre
Augen ges c hä d igt w erden könn e n. Sc ha uen Sie
niemals in einen Glasfaser-LWL oder ein Anschlußteil.
Gehen Sie stets dav on aus , daß das Gla s f a s erkabel an
eine Lichtquelle angeschlossen ist.

Warning: Avertissement: L’équipement à fibre
optique peut émettre des rayons laser ou infrarouges
qui risquent d’entraîner des lésions oculaires. Ne
jamais regarder dan s le port d’un connecteur ou d’un
câble à fibre optique. Toujours supposer que les câbles
à fibre optiq ue sont racc or dés à une sour ce lumi neuse.
Warning: Advertencia: Los equipos de fibra óptica
pueden emitir radia c ion e s de láser o infrarrojas que
pueden dañar los ojos. No mire nunca en el interior de
una fibra óptica ni de un puerto de conexión. Suponga
siempre que los cables de fibra óptica están conectados
a una fuente luminosa.
Warning: Avvertenza: Le apparecchiature a fibre
ottiche emettono raggi laser o infrarossi che possono
risultare dannosi per gli occhi. Non guardare mai
direttamente le fibre ottiche o le porte di collegamento.
Tenere in considerazione i l fatto che i cavi a fibre
ottiche sono collega ti a una sor ge n te lumin osa.

Introduction
This guide describes and provides installation instructions for
Nortel Networks* media dependent adapters (MDAs). It contains
the following topics:
• “Supported interfaces and products,” next
• “MDA description s” on pag e 4
• “Installing an MDA” on page 24
• “Replacing an installe d MDA” on page 27
• “Installing a GBIC in an MDA” on page 28
• “Removing an Installed GBIC from an MDA” on page 29
• “1000BASE-LX Multimode Applications” on page 30
Caution: MDAs are not hot-swappable. To avoid
damage to the switch or MDA, power down the switch o r
unplug the switch module from the switch backplane
before installing or remo vin g an MDA.

MDA descriptions
This section describes the following MDAs:
• “10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs” on page 5
• “100BASE-FX MDAs” on page 9
• “1000BASE -X MDAs” on page 16

• “GBIC MDA” on page 22
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs
The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs use four RJ-45 (8-pin
modular) connectors, configu r ed as media dependent interfacecrossover (MDI-X) connectors. These ports connect over straight
cables to the network int erface controlle r (NIC) card in a no de or
server, similar to a conventional Eth ernet repeater hub.
If you connect to another Ethernet hub or Ethernet switch, you
need a crossover cable unless an MDI connection exists on the
associated port of the attached device.
The following are the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDAs.
• 400-4TX MDA, page 6
• 8100-4TX MDA, page 6
• BPS2000-4TX MDA, page 8
For a complete list of MDAs, see Table 1 on page 4. For
installation instru ctio ns, see “Installing an MDA” on page 24.

The 10BASE-T/100BASE -TX MDA port s can operate at ei t her
10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s. The port speed is determined through
autonegotiation with its connecting device.
