2.3.2Installing a BRIM-F6 into a Hub

To install a BRIM-F6 into a stand-alone hub that supports BRIM technology (e.g., MicroMMAC):

1.Power-down your hub.

2.Disconnect all cables from the hub. Note the port-to-cable connections.

3.Remove the chassis cover.

Note: Refer to specific hub documentation for instructions on removing the hub chassis cover.

4. Remove the BRIM coverplate/faceplate screws.

Note: The BRIM-F6 requires an additional 24 pin ribbon connection. Hubs that support BRIM technology only provide one BRIM slot that supports this connection. Make sure you install the BRIM-F6 in the BRIM slot with the ribbon cable jack.

5.Remove BRIM standoff screws.

6.Remove the BRIM coverplate.

7.Place your BRIM behind the hub faceplate. (See Figure 2-3.)

8.Insert the connector pins of the BRIM-F6 into the motherboard connector in the hub.
