Page 2-1 2 Installation This chapter describes the components and explains how to install, mount, and apply power to your F riendlyNET 7000 Series Gigabit S witch.
Installation Page 2-2 Components This section describes the front- and back-panel layouts of the FS7108 and FS7016 S witches. The only control on the front panel is the uplink push-button switch. The only control on the rear panel is the po wer switch.
Expansion Modules Page 2-3 FS7016 Base Unit The front panel of the FS7016 contains sixteen 10/100Mbps ports, two expansion slots, one uplink switch button, and LED indicators. See F igure 2-3. F igure 2-3 F riendlyNET 7016 front panel The back panel of the FS7016 contains a 100–240 volt AC po w er connector , a power switch and an MII slot.
Installation Page 2-4 T o install the Gigabit SX XP M odule: 1 P ower down the unit. 2 Remo ve the metal cov er from the front of an empty expan- sion slot (located on the S witch ’ s front panel) using a small Phillips screwdriver . 3 Align the bottom of the Gigabit module with the rails on the inside of the expansion slot.
100 FX MII Module Page 2-5 ◆ Note: Each 10/100 expansion module provides 8 ports which are numbered 1 thr ough 8. I f the module is installed in Option Slot A, the ports on the module will correspond to LED indicators A1–A8. If the module is installed in Option Slot B, the ports on the module will correspond to LED indicators B1–B8.
Installation Page 2-6 2 Align the bottom of the MII module with the rails on the inside of the MII slot. 3 Slide the MII module into the MII slot until it stops, then push the module in until it seats with the connector .
Mounting Configurations Page 2-7 Desktop Mounting T o mount the S witch on a desktop or shelf: 1 Attach the four rubber feet (supplied) to the bottom of each corner on the S witch. See F igure 2-9. F igure 2-9 Desktop mounting 2 Place the S witch on a flat, stable, horizontal desktop or shelf.
