2.2.2 Installing an HSIM-G in a Standalone Device
To install an HSIM-G into a standalone device (e.g., 2E42-27), perform
the following steps:
1. Power down the device and remove the power cord.
2. Disconnect any cables connected to the network ports of the device.
3. Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions outlined on
the antistatic wrist strap package).
4. Remove the standalone device chassis cover (refer to your specific
standalone device documentation for instructions on removing the
chassis cover).
5. Refer back to Figure 2-1 and remove the two faceplate mounting
screws and the HSIM coverplate. Save the screws.
6. Remove the four standoff screws. Save the screws.
7. Refer back to Figure 2-2 and place the HSIM-G behind the standalone
device faceplate.
8. Align the HSIM connector of the HSIM-G with the pins on the
standalone device.
9. Press down firmly on the back of the HSIM-G until the pins slide all
the way into the HSIM connector.
10. Secure the HSIM-G to the module faceplate using the mounting
screws saved in step 5.
To install the HSIM-G in a standalone device, the device must
first be powered down. Ensure that you remove the power cord
and ONLY the screws required to remove the chassis cover.
TIP
Note the ports that have cables attached to them. Write down
the port numbers and label the cables to make it easier to
reattach the network properly after the installation.
NOTE
Ensure that the standoffs on the standalone device align with
the standoff screw holes on the HSIM-G.
