1.4 3H08-04 FE SWITCH MODULE
 
The 3H08-04 (Figure 1-3) provides connection for four independent 
100BASE-FX LANs to the ATX backplane and packet processing engine 
(PPE). It includes processing circuitry for receiving and forwarding 
packets between the connected 100BASE-FX LANs within each module. 
The 3H08-04 contains several LEDs to indicate the module’s operational 
status.
The 3H08-04 supports fiber optic and the IEEE 802.3 100BASE-FX 
specification.
 
1.4.1 Connectors
 
The 3H08-04 includes four pairs of fiber optic socket connectors for fiber 
optic cabling. Receive (RX) and transmit (TX) connectors are clearly 
marked on the front panel of the module. The ATX power supply 
provides the power for the module.
 
1.4.2 LEDs
 
The 3H08-04 contains a total of 14 green LEDs labeled LINK, RX, and 
TX for each segment, plus PROC and PWR for the module. The LEDs are 
described in Chapter 5 of this manual.
 
1.4.3 Offline Button
 
Use the offline button before swapping the module, to take it offline until 
the replacement is installed.
