Note: If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. Category 3
cabling does not meet 100 Mbps specifications. For 10 Mbps operation only, Category 3 or
Category 5 cabling can be used. Refer to 100BASE-TX Network on page 2-2 for

eject) the module. Otherwise, damage could result to the module and chassis.
Precaucin: Para colocar los conectores del mdulo en los conectores del panel

Last Resort Shutdown Procedure Using OFFLINE/RESET Switch

Caution: This method of shutting down a DFE-Platinum module is not recommended
except as a last resort, because all processes currently running on the module will be
interrupted resulting in loss of frames.
