Press down firmly on the back of the HSIM until the pins slide all the
way into the connector holes.

10.

Secure the HSIM to the faceplate using the screws saved in

Step 5

11.

Secure the HSIM to the standoffs using the screws saved in

Step 6

12.

Reattach the chassis cover to the hub, reconnect the power cord, and
reconnect the hub to your network.

13.

Refer to

Chapter 3

for instructions on configuring the HSIM-A6DP

using Local Management.

NOTE

Step 9

ensure that the standoffs on the hub align with the

standoff screw holes on the HSIM to prevent bending the pins.

Ensure that the chassis cover is in place before reconnecting
the power cord.
