This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Converter.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to
extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select
should meet the following requirements:
-
The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40
degrees Celsius).
-
The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing.
-
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC)
standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
-
Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation
holes on each side of the switch or the fan exhaust port on the side or rear of the equipment.
-
The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the media converter.
Connecting to Power
This Converter is a plug-and-play device.
Step 1:
Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle at the back of the
converter.
Step 2:
Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
Installing in a Chassis
The Converter is designed to fit into any of the expansion slots on a Signamax
FO-065-118 5
rackmount chassis.
Step 1:
Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.
Step 2:
Fit the converter onto the carrier and use those four screws to secure it.
Step 3:
When the converter is completely seated onto the carrier, insert the carrier to the guide
rails of the expansion slot.
Step 4:
Carefully slide in the carrier until it is fully and firmly fit the chassis.
Step 5:
Fasten the carrier to the chassis by the screws.
<NOTE> Never insert any converter into the chassis directly without using the
supplied carriers. The carriers allow secure and consistent placement
of the converters into the chassis’ backplane without causing any
damage.
