Installation
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 122 degrees
Fahrenheit (0 to 50 degrees Celsius).
•The relative humidity should be less than 95 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 equipment.
•The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
Connecting to Power
This Converter is a plug-and-play device.
Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the
receptacle at the back of the converter.
Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet.
Installing in a Chassis
The Converter is designed to fit into any of the expansion
slots on a rackmount chassis.
•Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.
•Fit the converter onto the carrier.
•When the converter is completely seated onto the carrier, insert the
carrier to the guide rails of the expansion slot.
•Carefully slide in the carrier until it is fully and firmly fit the chassis.
•Fasten the carrier to the chassis by the screws.

SignamaxOAM Managed Dual Rate Media Converter
User’s Manual 9
<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.
