2.2 INSTALLING AN EPIM

The ELS100-16TX provides two slots for a Cabletron EPIM-100FX (Ethernet Port Interface Module). The ELS100-16TX is shipped without EPIMs. To install an EPIM, follow the procedure below:

1.Remove the coverplate or the existing EPIM (whichever applies).

2.Slide the new EPIM into place, making sure that the connectors on the rear of the EPIM align correctly and ﬁrmly with the connector inside the ELS100-16TX.

Refer to Figure 2-2.

3.Install the mounting screw.

Caution: When removing an EPIM, pull the module straight out to prevent damage to the connector.

Note: The EPIM is hot swappable. Also, the RJ45 port corresponding to the EPIM port is disabled once an EPIM is installed.
