SMC TigerSwitch Modules
Installation Guide
Introduction
The SMC TigerSwitch modules can be installed into the SMC6624M switch
to provide 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps connections to other compatible
network devices.
This document describes how to install, verify, and troubleshoot the
following SMC TigerSwitch modules:
Use these modules for the following network connectivity:
■ 1000BASE-SX module—1000 Mbps operation over multimode fiber-
optic cable
■ 1000BASE-LX module—1000 Mbps operation over either single-
mode or multimode fiber-optic cable
■ 100/1000BASE-T module—1000 or 100 Mbps operation over Cate-
gory 5 or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twistedpair (STP) cables
■ 100BASE-FX SC module—100 Mbps operation over multimode
fiber-optic cable
For more information on the cables used with these modules and the
supported cable lengths, see page 4.

Installation Steps
To install the SMC TigerSwitch modules, follow these steps:
1. Insert the module into an SMC6624M module slot and secure the
retaining screws.
2. Reset or reboot the SMC6624M switch.
3. Connect the network cable to the module and check the module and
network device for correct operation.
Details on these steps are provided in the rest of this document.
Installation Notes
Please read these notes before proceeding.
■ The SMC TigerSwitch modules are supported in the SMC
TigerSwitch 10/100 SMC6624M switch only. Do not try to install the
modules in any other SMC TigerSwitch devices.
■ It is not necessary to turn off power to the SMC6624M switch before
installing a module into it. You can install a module while the switch
is powered on, but you must reset or reboot the switch after installing
the module to initialize and activate it.
Please see the TigerSwitch 10/100 SMC6624M Installation Guide for more
information on installing the modules.

Insert the Module into the Slot
The modules are installed into the SMC6624M switch as follows:
1. Using a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver, unscrew the two retaining
screws on the slot cover plate or existing module, and remove it from
the switch.
2. Touch a grounded, metal object (such as a powered-on switch) to
discharge any static electricity on your body, then carefully remove the
module from its protective anti-static packaging. Hold the module by
its bulkhead or edges, taking care not touch any of its board components
or metal connectors.
3. Slide the module firmly into the module slot as far as it will go. The
module should “snap” into place, and the module’s faceplate should
touch the front panel of the switch. The following illustration shows the
module being installed into the SMC6624M switch.
4. Using the flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver, tighten the retaining
screws on the module until they are secure, but be careful that you do
not overtighten the screws.
5. Reset the switch to initialize the module.

Connect Network Cables to the Module Port
The network cables identified in the table below should be used with the
SMC TigerSwitch modules.
Port Type Cable Type Length Limits
Fiber-Optic Cables
1000BASE-SX 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm core/
cladding diameter, graded-index,
multimode fiber-optic cables that
are fitted with SC connectors—the
cables must comply with the ITU-T
G.651 and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type A1b
or A1a standards.
•62.5 µm cable:
– 160 MHz*km = 220 meters
– 200 MHz*km = 275 meters
•50 µm cable:
– 400 MHz*km = 500 meters
– 500 MHz*km = 550 meters
1000BASE-LX single-mode cables fitted with SC
connectors—the cables must
comply with the ITU-T G.652 and
ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
The multimode cables specified for
the 1000BASE-SX module may also
be used, but a mode conditioning
patch cord may be needed — see
“Mode Conditioning Patch Cord”
on page 8 for more information.
• single-mode cable - 5 kilometers
• multimode cable - 550 meters
100BASE-FX 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm core/
cladding diameter, graded-index,
multimode fiber-optic cables that
are fitted with SC connectors—the
cables must comply with the ITU-T
G.651 and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type A1b
or A1a standards.
• 2 kilometers for full-duplex
connections
• 412 meters for half-duplex
connections
Note: The SMC6624M switch does
not support half-duplex operation
for the modules.
Twisted-Pair Cables
100/
1000BASE-T
Category 5 or better, 100-ohm UTP
or STP balanced cable. For 1000
Mbps (Gigabit) operation,
Category 5E cabling or better is
recommended.
Note: For 1000 Mbps operation, all
four wire pairs are used for data
transmissions.
100 meters
Note: The 100/1000BASE-T module
is compatible with the IEEE 802.3ab
standard including the “Auto MDI/
MDI-X” feature, which allows you
to use either straight-through or
crossover twisted-pair cables for
connection go any network device
including end nodes, such as
computers, or to other switches,
hubs, and routers.
