Installation Procedure

The SSIM-H2-02 is packaged with the software for both the module itself and the SmartStack STS16-20RM Token Ring Switch. The switch is also supplied with both software images. To ensure compatibility between the module and the switch, the latest of the two software revisions should be installed.

The switch and SSIM-H2-02 software is also available via Cabletron Systems's online services, including the Cabletron Systems Web site.

Install the module as follows:

1.Install the software in the switch. See the switch manual for instructions on downloading the software.

2.Optionally, clear the NVRAM in the base switch. This will erase all configuration in the switch.

3.Reset the switch to activate the new software.

4.If the NVRAM was cleared in step 2, re-establish the switch configuration. Verify that the switch is operating correctly.

5.Turn off the switch.

➽Warning: Be sure to install a version of the base switch software that supports the SSIM-H2-02 (version 3.10 or later) before physically inserting the module. Otherwise, the switch will not recognize it and will cease functioning.

6.Physically install the module in one of the two expansion slots. See the “Hardware Installation” on page 7 for detailed instructions.

7.Turn on the switch.

8.Download the software for the module. See the “Software Installation” on page 8 for detailed instructions.

9.If you plan to use the graphical SmartStack Manager application, install it now on your PC.

10.If necessary, configure the module. For details, see chapter 3, “Configuration”.
