INSTALLING THE CSMIM
Installing the CSMIM2 into any MMAC hub is an easy operation and
requires no special tools. However, when you install your device, keep the
following in mind:
Install the CSMIM2 into the MMAC-FNB (backplane) as follows:
1.
Remove the safety bars that protect the chassis and remove any
module to be replaced or blank MMAC slot covers, in accordance with
the installation and removal procedures for these items.
2.
Holding the CSMIM2 by the front panel, or by the edges of the board,
align the bottom and top edges of the board with the guides. Make sure
that both the bottom and top edges of the card rest in these guides.
3.
Slide the CSMIM2 (Figure 2-2) into the desired slot of the MMAC
card cage.
4.
Firmly press the module connections into the backplane. Do not try to
force the module into place or use the knurled knobs to draw the
module into the backplane.
Any installation operations should be performed only by
qualified personnel.
!
CAUTION
You may install the CSMIM2 in any slot except for slot 1
(farthest slot to the right) of the MMAC chassis.
!
CAUTION
Observe all antistatic precautions when handling sensitive
electronic equipment.
NOTE
We recommend powering down your MMAC when inserting or
removing modules, even though Cabletron Systems modules
have “hot swap” capabilities.
