Troubleshooting

Installing Slide-In-Module(s)

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions
when installing Media Converter Slide-in-Module(s) in the 16-Slot Media Conversion
Center. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent
failure of, the Media Converter Slide-in-Module(s).

NOTE: Slide-in-Modules can be installed in any installation slot, in any order.
To install the Media Converter Slide-in-Module in the E-MCC-1600 chassis:

1. Ensure that switches on circuit board are set correctly for site installation.

2. Remove Media Converter Slide-in-Module protective plate from selected installation slot
by removing two screws that secure plate to front of E-MCC-1600.

3. Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation slot, aligning
Media Converter Slide-in-Module with installation guides.

NOTE : Ensure that the Media Converter Slide-in-Module is firmly seated against the
backplane.

4. Secure Slide-in-Module to E-MCC-1600 chassis by rotating captive screw attached to
Slide-in-Module clockwise into chassis.
