Installation
This section explains how to install the TR-in-FE
Module into a SuperStack II Switch 2000 TR device.
Installation is similar for all devices compatible with
the TR-in-FE Module.

If the Switch is connected to the network, turn off the
power and disconnect the switch from the main
power supply and the network.

Locate and remove the blanking plate that covers the
switch Module slot. See Figure 3-1. Retain the blank-
ing plate and the screws for future use.

Use the guide rails within the Switch slot to align the
TR-in-FE Module. The location of the guide rails and
the correct positioning of the plate is shown in

Slide the TR-in-FE Module into the slot without touch-
ing the top or bottom of the circuit board, which
positions upside down on the plate. Ensure that the
module is pushed fully into the unit.

Connect the downlink port to a Fast Ethernet
repeater, server, or switch. If you plan running full
duplex, ensure that the other end of the link supports
it. A repeater will not support full duplex whereas a
switch such as the SuperStack 3000 will.

NOTE:
The Fast Ethernet switch does not have to be a
SuperStack II 3000. However, due to the 3000’s capa-
bility of handling frame sizes larger than 1500 bytes
as well as its cost efficiency, the 3000 is the switch of
preference for anchoring the system.
