Installing a Switch
1. Remove a blank faceplate from an empty expansion slot on the front of the chassis.
The module can be installed in any slot.
2. Remove the module from the shipping package and store the packaging material in
a safe place. Be sure to observe standard ESD precautions.
3. Check the setting of the J6 jumper. If the chassis does not contain an AT-PBM02
management module, set the jumper to the Enabled (RIGHT) position. Refer to the
PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for the jumper location.
4. For the twisted pair port, set the AUTO NEG switch to either ON or OFF to enable
or disable the auto-negotiation on the port. Refer to the PowerBlade Chassis
Installation Guide for the location of the Auto-negotiation switch.
5. Set the DIP switches to the appropriate settings. Refer to the PowerBlade Chassis
Installation Guide for possible DIP switch settings.
6. Slide the module into the expansion slot, aligning it with the guiderails until it
firmly connects to the chassis’ backplane.
7. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the thumbscrew.
8. Verify that the PR LED on the switch is green. If the LED is OFF, refer to the
PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for troubleshooting instructions.
9. Remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port and connect the fiber optic cable to
the 100Base-FX port. Verify that the module’s transmitter port (TX) is connected to
the end-node’s receiver port (RX) and that the module’s receiver port (RX) is
connected to the end-node’s transmitter port (TX).
10. Connect the twisted pair cable to the 10/100Base-TX twisted pair port.
11. Set the MDI/MDI-X button to the appropriate setting. Refer to the PowerBlade
Chassis Installation Guide for additional information on the MDI/MDI-X button.
12. Power ON the end-nodes.
13. Check that the LK/AT LED for both ports on the module are green. If the LEDs are
OFF, refer to PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for troubleshooting
instructions.
14. The module is now ready for use. Repeat this procedure to install additional
AT-PB200 Series modules.
Refer to the PowerBlade Chassis Installation Guide for additional information.

1. Maximum distance can only be obtained when the UTP/STP cabling is installed and verified to TIA/EIA 568A Commercial Building
Telecommunications Cabling Standard.
2. Maximum distance for 100 Mbps Optical Datalinks is dependent on the following factors: type of optical fiber, duplex mode of both
end-nodes, and maximum optical loss budget for each of the optical fiber at the operating optical wavelength.
