2.2 INSTALLING FAST ETHERNET (PORT) INTERFACE
MODULES
Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules (FEPIMs) must be installed in the
HSIM-FE6 before installing the HSIM-FE6 in the host device. The
FEPIMs provide connectivity to the network. At least one FEPIM must be
installed in either port one or port two. To install an FEPIM in the
HSIM-FE6, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the coverplate from the port slot where the FEPIM will be
installed.
To remove the coverplate, refer to Figure 2-1 and proceed as follows:
a. Remove the two screws fastening the coverplate to the standoffs.
Save the screws.
b. Lift and remove the coverplate from the top of the front standoffs.
Only qualified personnel should perform installation
procedures.
!
CAUTION
The FEPIM and the HSIM-FE6 are sensitive to static
discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static
precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could
damage the FEPIM or the HSIM-FE6.
The FE-100F3 uses Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical
instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical
instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When
viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from
the network adapter.
