CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION
This chapter contains instructions for installing your BRIM-E6 into a
Media Interface Module (MIM) or stand-alone product. It also explains
how to install an EPIM into the BRIM-E6.
Caution: Observe all static precautions while handling MIMs and EPIMs.
2.1 UNPACKING THE BRIM
Unpack the BRIM as follows:
1) Remove the shipping box material covering the BRIM.
2) Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. Leave the
module in its non-conductive bag until you are ready to install.
3) After removing the module from its non-conductive bag, visually
inspect the device. If you notice any signs of damage, contact
Cabletron Systems Technical Support immediately.
2.2 INSTALLING BRIMs
This section contains procedures on how to install a BRIM to upgrade or
change the capabilities of your mother board. To install your BRIM, you
need the following tools:
• 1 disposable static wrist strap (provided with any MIM or hub)
• 2 support post screws (included in your BRIM package)
• 1 Phillips screwdriver.
You can install a BRIM in any Cabletron product that supports BRIM
technology (e.g., EMM-E6, MicroMMAC, etc.). The following
subsections provide generic instructions for installing a BRIM in a MIM
or in a stand-alone product. Refer to your specific MIM or hub
documentation for exact BRIM slot and connector locations.
