Chapter 3: INSTALLING THE RMIM
Cabletron has designed the RMIMs to be easily installed into the MMAC/FNB.
When you install the module, the following guidelines must be followed:
•
You cannot install the RMIM into Slot 1 (first slot), which is reserved for the
Ethernet Management Module (EMME or EMM-E6), the IRM, IRM2,
IRM3, or IRBM.
•
If an EMME or EMM-E6 management module is installed in an MMAC
with a non-shunting backplane, all RMIMs used in the chassis must be
installed next to it.
•
If installing Token Ring or FDDI modules, they must be installed to the left
of all installed RMIMs.
•
When installing an RMIM into an MMAC/FNB, be sure the required power
supply module is installed in the MMAC to provide power to the module.
Install the RMIM into the MMAC as follows:
1.
Slide the module (Fig. 3-3) into the MMAC’s card cage. Be sure that the
card is in the top and bottom slots of the case.
2.
Secure the module to the MMAC by turning the knurled knobs. Be sure the
module is firmly attached to the MMAC by turning the knurled knobs. Failure
to do so may result in improper operation.
The RMIMs can only be managed by an EMME or EMM-E6. You
can install an IRM, IRM2, IRM3, or an IRBM into slot 1 to manage
other boards in your MMAC, but it will not provide any
management for the repeater modules.
