INSTALLATION

This chapter contains instructions for installing your BRIM-E6 into a Media Interface Module (MIM) or stand-alone product. It also explains how to install an EPIM into the BRIM-E6.

Caution: Observe all static precautions while handling MIMs and EPIMs.

2.1UNPACKING THE BRIM

Unpack the BRIM as follows:

1)Remove the shipping box material covering the BRIM.

2)Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. Leave the module in its non-conductive bag until you are ready to install.

3)After removing the module from its non-conductive bag, visually inspect the device. If you notice any signs of damage, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support immediately.

2.2INSTALLING BRIMs

This section contains procedures on how to install a BRIM to upgrade or change the capabilities of your mother board. To install your BRIM, you need the following tools:

•1 disposable static wrist strap (provided with any MIM or hub)

•2 support post screws (included in your BRIM package)

•1 Phillips screwdriver.

You can install a BRIM in any Cabletron product that supports BRIM technology (e.g., EMM-E6, MicroMMAC, etc.). The following subsections provide generic instructions for installing a BRIM in a MIM or in a stand-alone product. Refer to your specific MIM or hub documentation for exact BRIM slot and connector locations.
