2.3 INSTALLING BRIMs
You can install a BRIM in any Cabletron Systems device that supports
BRIM technology (e.g., EMM-E6, MicroMMAC). Refer to the release
notes for the version of firmware running on the Cabletron Systems
device to ensure that the BRIM-A6DP is supported. The following
subsections provide generic instructions for installing a BRIM-A6DP in a
MIM or in a standalone hub. Refer to your specific MIM or standalone
hub documentation for exact BRIM slot and connector locations.
2.3.1 Installing a BRIM in a MIM
To install a BRIM-A6DP in a MIM that supports BRIM technology
perform the following steps:
1. Power-down the MMAC hub and remove all power cords.
2. Disconnect all cables from the MIM. Note the ports to which these
cables attach.
3. Attach the disposable grounding strap to your wrist (refer to the
instructions outlined on the disposable grounding strap package).
4. Unscrew the top and bottom knurled knobs of the MIM faceplate.
Only qualified personnel should install or service this unit.
NOTE
Cabletron Systems recommends that you power-down the hub
even though Cabletron Systems MIMs have “hot swap”
capabilities.
