2.3 INSTALLING BRIMS

You can install a BRIM in any Cabletron Systems device that supports

BRIM technology (e.g., EMM-E6, MicroMMAC). Refer to the release

notes for the version of ﬁrmware running on the Cabletron Systems

device to ensure that the BRIM-A6 is supported.

The following subsections provide generic instructions for installing a

BRIM-A6 in a MIM or in a standalone hub. Refer to your speciﬁc MIM

or standalone hub documentation for exact BRIM slot and connector

locations.

2.3.1 Installing a BRIM in a MIM

To install a BRIM-A6 in a MIM that supports BRIM technology:

1. Power-down the MMAC hub and remove all power cords.

2. Disconnect all cables from the MIM. Note the ports to which these

cables attach.

3. Attach the disposable grounding strap to your wrist (refer to the

instructions outlined on the disposable grounding strap package).

4. Unscrew the top and bottom knurled knobs of the MIM face plate.

5. Slide out the MIM, and place it on its side with the internal

components facing up.

6. Remove the mounting screws and the BRIM coverplate. See

Figure 2-2.

7. Remove the standoff screws. See Figure 2-2.

!

CAUTION

Only qualiﬁed personnel should install the BRIM.

NOTE Cabletron Systems recommends that you power-down the hub

even though Cabletron MIMs have “hot swap” capabilities.
