2.2INSTALLING THE VHSIM-G02

You can install a VHSIM-G02 in any Cabletron Systems device that supports VHSIM technology (e.g., 2E253-49R, 6H252-17).

NOTE

Refer to the release notes for the version of firmware running on the Cabletron Systems device to ensure that the VHSIM-G02 is supported.

The following sections provide instructions for installing a VHSIM-G02 in an interface module or in a standalone device. Refer to your specific interface module or standalone device documentation for exact VHSIM slot and connector locations.

2.2.1Installing the VHSIM-G02 in an Interface Module

To install a VHSIM-G02 in an interface module that supports VHSIM 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 in the interface module User’s Guide).

CAUTION

The VHSIM-G02 and the host module are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could result in damage to the VHSIM-G02 or host module.

3.If the module is installed in a chassis, unlock the top and bottom plastic locking tabs of the module faceplate, and remove the module from the chassis.
