Installing a second SFP card module
By default, the media converter’s SFP+ card module is preinstalled into slot 2. The
media converter features a secondary slot (slot 1), which lets you install a second
compatible SFP card module (with LC connectors). Once a compatible SFP card module
is installed, you can integrate the media converter into both 10Gb and 1Gb networks.
The media converter is compatible with the following StarTech.com products:
• ET91000SFP2C - GbE Fiber-Media Converter Card Module (card module only)
• ET91000LC2 - GbE Fiber-Media Converter - LC (card module and chassis)
• ET91000LCOAM - GbE Fiber-Media Converter - LC - OAM Managed (card module
and chassis)
• ET91000SFP2 - GbE Fiber-Media Converter - Open SFP Slot (card module and
chassis)
• ET1000S40LC2 - GbE Fiber-Media Conveter - SM - LC (card module and chassis)
Remove a card module from another media converter
If you’re installing a card module from one of the ET91000 media converters, you may
need to remove the card module from that media converter’s chassis.
• Turn the thumbscrew counterclockwise to loosen the SFP card module, and gently
pull the SFP card module from the ET91000*** chassis.
Note: Consult the manual for the ET91000*** series product that you are removing the
card module from for additional details regarding thumbscrew location.
