Note	1. The MC-1500R is shipped with one 100~240V AC power supply module (MC-15RPS200). 2. The MC-1500R48 is shipped with one -48V DC power supply module (MC-15RPS48).
Note	Caution and shock hazard: Remove all power cords before removing top cover. Connect only to a properly earth grounded outlet. Attention et risque d'électrocution: Retirez tous les cordons d'alimentation avant de.xxretirer le capot supérieur. Branchez l'appareil uniquement sur une prise correctement reliée à la terre.
Power Notice	1. The device is a power-required device, meaning, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should be active all the time, please consider using a proper UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from network data loss or network down-time. 2. In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your chassis from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the converter or the power adapter.

6. Installing the Media Converter Chassis

6.1 Installing Media Converter Chassis in 10-/19-inch Wire Closet Rack

Place four screws through mounting ears on each side.
Locate Converter Chassis at 10/19-inch mounting rails and screw up the front brackets.
Set Main power switch at "OFF" position before connecting the power cord.

Rack Mount Instructions

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 equip 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 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).

6.2 Installing Converters in Media Converter Chassis

Turn off the Converter Chassis power.

Verify the Media Converter is right for this Chassis and locate +5VDC power jack on converter back, carefully slide in and plug to match 10^ / 19^ Chassis slot +5V DC receptacle. Push up the picket fence to lock the converters.

Note

The slide-in Media Converters and Converter Chassis should be supplied only from PLANET; both Media Converters and Chassis are built to match each other as far as dimensions, DC power jack, and DC receptacle and power safety are concerned.

Ensure that there is no activity in the network.
Connect the media cable for network connection.
Turn on the chassis power, and the power LED and two fan LED indicators will light up.

6.3 Converter Checkpoints

Fiber Port	Attach the fiber cable. The Tx, Rx fiber cable must be paired at both ends.	2.5mm DC Receptacle 2.5mm +5V for each slot - - - +
TP Port	Attach UTP Cat. 3 or 5 cable to TP port.	DC receptacle is 2.5mm wide that conforms to and matches the Media Converter 2.5mm DC jack's central pole. Do not install any improper unit.

Note

For safety reason, it is recommended to store the AC adapter of the converter in a known secured place. For more about converter, refer to the user guide of the converter.
