Installation
1. Make sure the DIP switches are set appropriately for
your network conguration (see “DIP Switch Settings“
section for details).
2. Insert a compatible SFP module into the open SFP slot.
3. Connect a ber optic network cable from a computer /
switch / media converter to the inserted SFP connector
on the media converter.
NOTE: When connecting the ber cable to your installed SFP
module, make sure to connect the Tx (transmit) terminal on one end,
with the Rx (receive) terminal on the other end.

Installation into ETCHS2U Chassis
The ETCHS2U chassis supports the full line of StarTech.com ET series
2 media converters, which can be installed in a mixed fashion to suit
your environment. The cards are designed to be hot-swappable,
meaning the chassis need not be powered o in order to remove or
insert a card.
1. If the chassis slot was previously unused, loosen the screw at the
top of the slot to remove the cover plate
2. Align the card with the desired slot of the chassis and gently slide
the card into the groove to seat the power connection
3. Re-tighten the captive screw to hold the card in place
4. Connect a UTP Ethernet cable from a computer/switch
to the RJ45 jack on the media converter.
5. Connect the power adapter to the media converter.
