CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION To install the HSIM-FE6 the following items are required: • Antistatic wrist strap • Phillips screwdriver • Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules (FEPIMs) in the appropriate media NOTE 2.1 Before attempting to use the HSIM-FE6 you should be familiar with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3 10BASE-T, and 802.3u 100BASE-T Specifications. UNPACKING THE HSIM-FE6 ! CAUTION The HSIM-FE6 and the host platform are sensitive to static discharges.
Chapter 2: Installation 2.2 INSTALLING FAST ETHERNET (PORT) INTERFACE MODULES Only qualified personnel should perform installation procedures. Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules (FEPIMs) must be installed in the HSIM-FE6 before installing the HSIM-FE6 in the host device. The FEPIMs provide connectivity to the network. At least one FEPIM must be installed in either port one or port two.

Removing the FEPIM Coverplate Before installing an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 module into the host module, remove the protective cover on the SC connector. CAUTION 2. Refer to Figure 2-2. Gently pull the faceplate of the HSIM-FE6 forward to allow room for the FEPIM to be aligned over the connector. 3.
Chapter 2: Installation Module Module Connector Rear Standoff FE-1 00T X 10 100 HSIM-FE6 HSIM-FE6 Connector Front Standoffs feinstall Figure 2-2 Installing the FEPIM 4. Press down firmly on the FEPIM until the pins slide all the way into the HSIM-FE6 connector. Ensure that the FEPIM seats flush on the standoffs. 5. Secure the FEPIM using the screws enclosed in the FEPIM packaging. The screw used to attach the rear of the FEPIM to the standoff is optional and not necessary for proper installation.
Installing the HSIM-FE6 2.3 INSTALLING THE HSIM-FE6 Only qualified personnel should install or service this unit. An HSIM-FE6 can be installed in any Cabletron Systems device that supports HSIM technology (e.g., 2H252-25R, 2E42-27, 6E132-25). NOTE Refer to the Release Notes for the version of firmware running on the Cabletron Systems host platform to ensure that the HSIM-FE6 is supported.
Chapter 2: Installation 5. Remove and save the two faceplate mounting screws securing the HSIM coverplate and remove the coverplate. See Figure 2-3. HSIM Coverplate Faceplate Mounting Screws 2555_03 Figure 2-3 Removing the HSIM Coverplate 6. Refer to Figure 2-4 and place the HSIM-FE6 behind the module faceplate.

Align the connector on the HSIM-FE6 with the connector on the module. ! CAUTION Ensure that the HSIM-FE6 connector aligns with the module connector pins to prevent bending the pins. This can damage both the HSIM-FE6 and the module. 8.
Chapter 2: Installation 9. Secure the HSIM-FE6 to the module faceplate using the mounting screws saved in step 5. 10. Secure the HSIM-FE6 to the module standoffs using the standoff screws included in the HSIM-FE6 shipping materials. 11. Reinstall the interface module in the chassis. 12. Reattach the network cabling to the interface module. 2.3.2 Installing the HSIM-FE6 in a Standalone Device To install an HSIM-FE6 into a standalone device (e.g., 2H252-25R) perform the following steps: 1.
Connecting to the Network 8. Press down firmly on the HSIM-FE6 until the connector slides all the way onto the HSIM pins. Ensure that the standoffs on the standalone device align with the standoff screw holes on the HSIM-FE6. 9. Secure the HSIM-FE6 to the module faceplate using the mounting screws saved in step 5. 10. Secure the HSIM-FE6 to the module standoffs using the standoff screws included in the HSIM-FE6 shipping materials.
Chapter 2: Installation 2.4.1 Connecting a Fiber Optic Segment to the FEPIM Cabletron Systems offers fiber optic cables that use SC style connectors which are keyed to ensure proper crossover of the transmit and receive fibers. NOTES An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be maintained between like devices so that the transmit port of one device is connected to the receive port of the other device and vice versa.
Connecting to the Network 4. Verify that a link exists by checking that the port receive LED is ON (flashing amber, blinking green, or solid green). If the receive LED is OFF and the transmit LED is not blinking amber, perform the following steps until it is ON: a. Check that the power is turned on for the device at the other end of the link. b. Verify proper crossover of fiber strands between the port on the HSIM-FE6 and the fiber optic device at the other end of the fiber optic link segment. c.
Chapter 2: Installation A schematic of a straight-through and a crossover cable is shown in Figure 2-6. If the wires do not cross over, use the switch on the FE-100TX to internally cross over the RJ45 port. Figure 2-5 shows how to properly set the FE-100TX crossover switch. Straight-Through Cable TO RJ45 Port TO 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Device Port RX+ 1 1 RX+ RX– 2 2 RX– TX+ 3 3 TX+ TX– 6 6 TX– RJ45 to RJ45 NOTE: RX+/RX– and TX+/TX– must share a common color pair.
Connecting to the Network 3. Verify that a link exists by checking that the port receive LED is on (flashing amber, blinking green, or solid green). If the receive LED is off, perform the following steps until it is on: a. Verify that the 100BASE-TX device at the other end of the twisted pair segment is powered up. b. Verify that the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment has the proper pinouts. c. Check the cable for continuity. d.
