You may only install the EMM-E6 in slots 1 and 2 (farthest slots to the right) of the MMAC chassis. The EMM-E6 uses both slots.

Observe all antistatic precautions when handling sensitive electronic equipment.

Install the EMM-E6 into the MMAC-FNB (backplane) as follows:

NOTE

We recommend powering down your MMAC when inserting or removing modules, even though Cabletron Systems modules have “hot swap” capabilities.

1.Remove the safety bars that protect the chassis and remove any module to be replaced or blank MMAC slot covers, in accordance with the installation and removal procedures for these items.

2.Holding the EMM-E6 by the front panel, or by the edges of the board, align the bottom and top edges of the printed circuit board with the guides. Make sure that both the bottom and top edges of the printer circuit board rest in these guides.

3.Slide the EMM-E6 (Figure 3-3) into slots 1 and 2 of the MMAC chassis.

Forcing a misaligned module into place can damage the

!EMM-E6 or the MMAC backplane.
