⇒ Install four screws through mounting ears into each side 
⇒ Locate Media Chassis at 19-inch mounting rails and screw up the front brackets 
⇒ Set Main power switch at "OFF" position before connecting the power cord
B. Installing Media Converter to a Media Chassis
⇒ The slide-in Media Converters and Media Chassis should be supplied only from the
same source, both Media Converters and Chassis are built to match each other at 
dimensions, DC power jack, DC receptacle and power safety.
⇒ Turn off the 19" chassis power 
⇒ Verify the Media Converter is right for this Rack and locate +5VDC power jack on
converter back, carefully slide in and plug to match 19" rack slot +5V DC receptacle
⇒ Ensure that there is no activity in the network 
⇒ Connect the media cable for network connection 
⇒ Turn on the chassis power, the Power LED will light up
