INSTALLING THE EMM-E6

3.7INSTALLING THE EMM-E6

Installing the EMM-E6 into any MMAC hub is an easy operation and requires no special skills or tools. However, when you install your device, keep the following in mind:

Any installation operations should be performed only by qualified personnel

You must install the EMM-E6 in slots 1 and 2 (furthest slots to the right) of the MMAC chassis.

Position RIC MIMs contiguously in any MMAC-FNB series hub, from right to left. This ensures that the channels do not act in a stand- alone manner or desegment from the B or C channel. This does not apply to shunting MMAC-FNBs, where the data path remains unbroken, and allows non-interrupted communication.

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

NOTE

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

1.Remove the safety bars which 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 edges of the board, align the bottom and top edges of the board with the slot guides. Make sure that both the bottom and top edges of the card rest in the guide slots.

3.Slide the EMM-E6 (Figure 3-7) into slots 1 and 2 (furthest right slots) of the MMAC card cage. Make sure that the module aligns properly in the top and bottom slot guides.
