INSTALLING THE HSIM-W87
An HSIM-W87 can be installed in any Cabletron Systems device that
supports HSIM technology (e.g., 2H252-25R, 2E42-27, 6E132-25).
The following subsections provide instructions for installing an
HSIM-W87 in a host platform. Refer to the specific interface module or
standalone device document for exact HSIM slot and connector locations.
2.2.1
Installing the HSIM-W87 in an Interface Module
To install an HSIM-W87 in an interface module that supports HSIM
technology, perform the following steps.
1.
Note the ports of the interface module that have cables attached to
them. Write down the ports and label the cables to make it easier to
reattach the network properly after the installation. Then disconnect
those cables from the ports.
2.
Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions outlined on
the antistatic wrist strap package).
3.
If the interface module is installed in a chassis, unlock the top and
bottom plastic locking tabs of the module faceplate.
4.
Remove the module from the chassis, and place it down flat with the
internal components facing up.
5.
Remove and save the two faceplate mounting screws securing the
HSIM coverplate and remove the coverplate. See
Figure 2-1
.
Only qualified personnel should install or service this unit.
NOTE
Refer to the release notes for the version of firmware running
on the Cabletron Systems host platform to ensure that the
HSIM-W87 is supported.
