25. For Rack-Mounted Units Only – The following precautions
apply to all rack-mounted units.
a) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-
unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
b) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
c) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack
should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved
due to uneven mechanical loading.
d) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the
effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
e) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should
be given to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

FMC-TRM/TRRM Series Installation and Operation │ 1
General
The FMC-TRM and TRRM Series Media Converters convert 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet from an
electrical signal to an optical signal and back to an electrical signal. The electrical connection uses
an RJ45 data connector. The optical connector is an ST type.
The media converters are transceivers, designed to transmit and receive 10/100 Mbps
data over multimode optical ber. The electrical interface will Auto-Negotiate to a
10 Mbps, or 100 Mbps Ethernet rate without any adjustments. The optical interface operates at a 100
Mbps Ethernet rate.
Ordered as a pair, with a set consisting of one A and one B model, these media converters are en-
vironmentally hardened to operate in extreme temperatures. LED indicators are provided for rapidly
ascertaining equipment operating status.
The TRM series are small sized units designed for surface mounting where space is at a premium.
The TRRM series are standard size units that may be wall or rack mounted using the optional FMC-
RK Rack-Mount Card Cage.

Installation
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Install the FMC-TRM units as required using “best practice” procedures. The FMC-TRRM units
may be wall mounted using “best practice” procedures. To install the FMC-TRRM in the FMC-RK
Card Cage, proceed as follows.
WARNING: Although the units are hot-swappable and may be installed without turning power off
to the rack, ComNet recommends that the power supply be turned off and that the rack power
supply is disconnected from any power source.
Note: Remove electrical connector before installing in card cage rack.
1. Make sure that the card is oriented right side up and slide it into the card guides in the rack
until the edge connector at the back of the card seats in the corresponding slot in the rack’s
connector panel. Seating may require thumb pressure on the top and bottom of the card’s front
panel.
CAUTION: Take care not to press on any of the LEDs.
2. Tighten the two thumb screws on the card until the front panel of the card is seated against the
front of the rack.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 or LPS power supply rated 9-12 VDC @ 1A.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
