Installation Site Requirements

The installation site must meet the following requirements:

Located within 50 cm (19.7 in) of the host switch to which it will be 
attached

A temperature between 0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113°F), with 
fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour

Handling the Equipment

To minimize the risk of ESD damage, follow appropriate ESD 
procedures when unpacking and handling the LRM/MACsec Adapter. 
These include unpacking the equipment in an ESD safe environment 
and wearing appropriate ESD protective gear, such as ESD-safe 
footwear and ESD wrist straps where appropriate.
Unpack the equipment as follows:
1

Remove the packing material protecting the equipment.

2

Remove the tape seal on the non-conductive bag to remove the 
equipment.

3 Perform a visual inspection of the equipment for any signs of 

physical damage. Contact Extreme Networks if there are any signs 
of damage. See 

“Getting Help”

 for more information on contacting 

Extreme Networks. 

Installing the LRM/MACsec Adapter

You can install the LRM/MACsec Adapter converter in a standard 
equipment rack, in any of three ways shown in 

Figure 2

.

Figure 2   Mounting Options for the LRM/MACsec Adapter

Mounting Option 1: Horizontal

To mount the LRM/MACsec Adapter vertically on the rack
1

Using two small M4x6.5mm screws (included), attach the bracket to 
the holes in one side of the adapter so that the mounting ear 
extends away from the adapter.

Figure 3

 shows the bracket attached to the adapter.

Figure 3   Bracket Attached to Adapter for Horizontal Mounting

2 Using two rack mounting screws (not included) attach the 

mounting ear to the rack.
The adapter ports should face toward the front.

3 Connect the adapter to the switch, following the instructions in 

“Connecting the LRM/MACsec Adapter to the Host Switch”

.

Mounting Option 2: In the 5-Slot Bracket

To mount the LRM/MACsec Adapter in the 5-slot bracket:
1

Using standard rack mounting screws (not included), secure the 
bracket to the rack.

2 Set the adapter in one of the bracket slots.
3 Secure the adapter to the bracket using one of the M4x6.5mm 

screws provided with the bracket.

4 Mount up to four additional LRM/MACsec Adapter units on the 

bracket, as described in steps

 2

 and

 3

.

5 Connect the adapters to the switch, following the instructions in 

“Connecting the LRM/MACsec Adapter to the Host Switch”

.

Mounting Option 3: Vertical

To mount the LRM/MACsec Adapter vertically on the rack:
1

Using two rack mounting screws (not included), attach the vertical 
mounting bracket to the rack so that the mounting ear extends 
outward from the front of the rack.

2 Using two small M4x6.5mm screws (included), attach the bracket to 

the holes in the bottom of the adapter.
The adapter ports can face upward or downward as needed.

3 Connect the adapter to the switch, following the instructions in 

“Connecting the LRM/MACsec Adapter to the Host Switch”

.

Connecting the LRM/MACsec Adapter to 
the Host Switch

After mounting the LRM/MACsec Adapter in the rack, attach it to the 
host switch by doing the following:
1

Insert one of the 50 cm SFP cables, included with the adapter, into 
Host Port1 on the front of the LRM/MACsec Adapter.

This SFP cable is provided especially for use with the
LRM/MACsec Adapter

. It is not a standard SFP cable.

2 Insert the other end of the cable into an SFP port on the switch.
3 Repeat steps

 1

 and

 2

 to connect Host Port2 to the switch. Both 

Host Port1 and Host Port2 must be connected to the host switch.

The LRM/MACsec Adapter receives power through its connection to 
the host switch’s SFP port. Optionally, in addition to the power it 
receives from the switch, it can receive power through the USB 
connector on the front panel.

When the LRM/MACsec Adapter is connected to the host switch, 
verify that the adapter’s power LED turns on. If the power LED does 
not turn on, recheck the connection between the adapter and the 
power source(s).
