Review the following before you begin to install the module in the chassis:

❑ Refer to the chassis’ Installation Guide to verify that the module is 

appropriate for the unit.

❑ The AT-MCF2KFAN module draws its power from the backplane of the 

chassis. It does not have a power cord.

❑ For instructions on how to remove a fan module, refer to the chassis’ 

Installation Guide.

❑ The AT-MCF2KFAN fan module is hot-swappable. You can install or 

replace the module while the chassis is powered on.

❑ Refer to the chassis’ Installation Guide for a list of safety precautions to 

observe when installing a module in the unit.

❑ The following procedure uses the AT-MCF2000 media converter chassis 

for illustration purposes. Your chassis may be different.

Make sure the following items are included in the shipping package. If an item 
is missing or damaged, contact your Allied Telesis sales representative for 
assistance.

❑ This Installation Guide

To install the AT-MCF2KFAN fan module, perform the following procedure:

1. Remove the fan module from the shipping package.

Store the packaging material in a safe location. You must use the original 
shipping material if you need to return the unit to Allied Telesis.

2. Remove a blank panel from a power supply/fan module slot on the back 

panel of the chassis by loosening the two captive screws on the panel with 
a cross-head screwdriver. Refer to the chassis’ Installation Guide for the 
location of the power supply/fan module slots.

1124-a

Do not remove a blank panel from the chassis until you are ready to install 
a module, especially if the device is powered on. An open slot allows dust 
to enter the unit and impedes the ability of the chassis to maintain proper 
airflow and cooling.

3. Slide the fan module into the slot as shown in Figure 3, until it is flush with 

the back panel of the chassis. Light pressure may be needed to seat the 
module on the connector on the back panel of the chassis.

Do not force the module into place. Doing so may damage the 
connector pins on the backplane inside the chassis.

4. Secure the fan module to the chassis by tightening the two captive screws 

using a cross-head screwdriver. Refer to Figure 4.

If this is the initial installation of the chassis, refer to the chassis’ 
Installation Guide for instructions on how to install the remaining modules 
in the unit.
