Chapter 2
You can install one or two expansion modules, limited to these four
combinations:
•
one copper expansion module (1783-MX08T)
• one fiber expansion module (1783-MX08F)
• two copper expansion modules
• one copper and one fiber expansion module
Depending on the mix of switches and expansion modules, you can have up to
24 10/100 ports.
Follow these steps to connect the expansion modules to the switch.
1. Remove the right side panel by firmly grasping both sides of it in the
middle and pulling it outward.
TIP
Only one 1783-MX08F expansion module is allowed per switch.
If a 1783-MX08F fiber expansion module is used in a system
with a 1783-MX08T copper expansion module, the fiber
expansion module must be installed in the right-most position.
IMPORTANT
You must add expansion modules to the base unit before
applying power to the switch. Remove power from the switch
when reconfiguring it.
TIP
If you are not using expansion modules, skip these steps. Go on
to the Mount the Switch section on page 32.
