2.3 INSTALLING THE HSIM-FE6
An HSIM-FE6 can be installed in any Cabletron Systems device that
supports HSIM technology (e.g., 2H252-25R, 2E42-27, 6E132-25).
The following subsections provide generic instructions for installing an
HSIM-FE6 in either an interface module or in a standalone device. Refer
to the specific interface module or standalone device documentation for
exact HSIM slot and connector locations.
2.3.1 Installing the HSIM-FE6 in an Interface Module
To install an HSIM-FE6 in an interface module that supports HSIM
technology, perform the following steps.
1. Note the ports of the interface module that have cables attached to
them. Write down the ports and label the cables to make it easier to
reattach the network properly after the installation. Then disconnect
the cables from the ports.
2. Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions outlined on
the antistatic wrist strap package).
3. If the interface module is installed in a chassis, unlock the top and
bottom plastic locking tabs of the module faceplate.
4. Remove the module from the chassis, and place it down flat with the
internal components facing up.
Only qualified personnel should install or service this unit.
NOTE
Refer to the Release Notes for the version of firmware running
on the Cabletron Systems host platform to ensure that the
HSIM-FE6 is supported.
NOTE
The FEPIMs should already have been installed in the
HSIM-FE6 at this time. If the FEPIMs have not been installed,
return to Section 2.2.
