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. 
CAUTION: Always follow Electro Static Discharge 
(ESD) procedures when installing an I/O Module.
1
If the Switch is connected to the network, turn off the 
power and disconnect the switch from the main 
power supply and the network.
2
Place the Switch on a flat, clean, hard, work surface.
3
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.
To locate the slot where the TR-in-FE Module resides, 
refer to the manual that accompanies your device .
4
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 
Figure 3-1. 
5
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.
6
Use the thumb screws attached to the TR-in-FE 
Module to fix the module firmly into place. 
7
Connect the cable to the TR-in-FE port.
For fiber: 3Com supports multi-mode fiber 
50/125 
mm and an SCduplex connector. The 
maximum inter-station distance (including 
device-to-network connectors) should not exceed 
two kilometers (1.25 miles) for full duplex. For half 
duplex, the maximum inter-station distance should 
not exceed 300 meters.
For copper: 3Com supports Category 5 type UTP 
cable at distances up to 100 m for both half and 
full duplex.
8
Connect the cable to the module. Connect the Rx 
connector to the port’s Tx socket. Connect the Tx 
connector to the port’s Rx socket. Do the same at the 
other end of the connection.
For fiber: Each end of the fiber cable has a trans-
mit (Tx) and receive (Rx) connector. 
For copper: A crossover cable may be required for 
operation, which requires a jumper setting on the 
module. See“Jumper Settings” in this chapter.
9
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.
10
Power up the switch. The link status LED turns green 
once a valid connection is made.
