Caution: Use of co ntrols o r adjustme nts, or pe rforman ce

of procedures other than those specified herei n may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Caution: Only qualified technicians should install this

equipment.

Place all printed circuit boards on an antistatic mat until you are ready to install them. If you do not ha ve an antistatic mat, wear a discharge leash to free yourself of static before touching any of the printed circuit boards, or free yourself of static by touching a grounded meta l object before handling a printed ci rcu it bo ard.

CSA 22.2 No. 950-M95/UL1950, 3rd ed. EN60950: 1992 /A1:1993 /A2:1993 /A3:1995 /A4: 199721CFR, Chapter I EN60825-1:1994 /A11:1996

Warning: 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 connecte d to a light source.

Warning: Vorsicht: Glasfaserkomponenten können

Laserlicht bzw. Infrarotlicht abstrahlen, wodurch Ihre Augen geschäd i gt w erd e n kö nnen. Schauen Sie niemals in einen Glasfaser-LWL oder ein Anschlußteil. Gehen Sie stets davon aus, daß das Glasfaserk abel 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 dans le port d’un connecteur ou d’un câble à fibre optique. Toujours supposer que les câbles à fibre optique sont raccordés à une source lumineuse.

Warning: Advertencia: Los equipos de fibra óptica

pueden emitir radiaciones 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 il fat to che i cavi a fibre ottiche sono collegati a una sorgen 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 e4

• “Installing an MDA” on page 24

• “Replacing an installed MDA” on page 27

• “Installing a GBIC in an MDA” on page 28

• “Removing an Installed GBIC from an MDA” on page29

• “1000BASE-LX Multimode Applicati ons” 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 removing 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

See page

• “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 interface cont roller (NIC) card in a node or server, similar to a conventional Ethernet 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 instructions, see “Installing an MDA” on page 24.

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

Table 2 describes the 400-4TX and 8100-4TX MDA front- panel.

Item Label Description

1 100 100BASE-TX port statu s LEDs (green):

On: The corresponding port is set to operate at 100 Mb/s.

Off: The link connection is bad or there is no connection to this port.

Blinking: The corresponding port is management disabled.

2 10 10BASE-T port status LEDs (green):

On: The corresponding port is set to operate at 10 Mb/s.

Off: The link connection is bad or there is no connection to this port.

Blinking: The corresponding port is management disabled.

3 F Dx Full-duplex port status LEDs (green):

On: The c orresp ondi ng port is in fu ll-du plex m ode. Off: The corresponding port is in half-duplex

mode.
