Installing and	Follow these steps to install and connect the TRIM card:
Connecting a TRIM
Card
	Step	Action
	1	Insert the 6500PLUS processor/TRIM card combination into the lowest-
		numbered slot of the node backplane.
		You can insert the processor/TRIM card combination in a powered-on
		nest. However, power to other cards in the nest may be disturbed
		because of the inrush of current to the TRIM card.
	2	Using a flat-head screwdriver, attach the captive screws on the TRIM
		rear panel to the TRIM card backplane (Figure 2-10).
	3	Attach two Modulus front filler panels to the front of the slots filled by
		the TRIM card.
	4	The TRIM card supports only one LAN connection. Use either the
		DB9 or the RJ45 connector to make the LAN connection, but do not
		attach cables to both.
		• If your LAN cable is an STP cable, attach it to the DB9
		connector at the back of the TRIM card.
		• If your LAN cable is a UTP cable, attach it to the RJ45
		connector at the back of the TRIM card.
		• If you are installing the TRIM card in a Modulus 21
		enclosure, install the RFI suppression bar across the front
		door of the enclosure. See the Preparing Modulus Enclosures
		for RFI Suppression section.
		• If you are installing a TRIM card in a Modulus 18 enclosure,
		attach the RFI suppression screen to the inside of the front door.
		See the “Preparing Modulus Enclosures for RFI Suppression”
		section on page 2-49.The suppression screen replaces the
		suppression bars.
