22 Installing an MD A The Uplink Module slo t on support ed BayStack and Accelar switches can accommodate a single MD A. The connection can be either an RJ-45 10/100B ASE-TX MD A or a fiber ( 100BASE-FX or 1000 B A SE-SX /LX) MD A with an SC or MT -R J connector .
23 Figure 6. Insta lling an MD A 4. Press the MD A fi rmly into the Uplink Modul e slo t. Be sure that the MD A is fully seated into the mating connector . 5. Secure the MD A by tighte nin g the thumb screws on th e MDA front pan el. 6. Attach devices to the MD A ports.
24 After connecting the port cables, follo w the instructions in that guide to connect po wer and verify the installation . Replacing an MD A with a Different Model When replacing an in stalled MD A in a BayStack switch with another type o f MD A, clear the switch NVRAM: 1.
