CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION/CONFIGURATION

TPXMIM Installation Guide
• We suggest positioning the TPXMIM next to any contiguous RIC
MIMs or MIMs directly controlled by the hub managing device
(e.g., EMME, EMM-E6, etc.). This does not apply to shunting
MMAC-FNBs, where the data path remains unbroken, and allows
non-interrupted communication.
Caution: Use all static precautions when handling boards.
Install the TPXMIM into the MMAC-FNB (backplane) as follows:
1. Holding the TPXMIM by the front panel, or by the edges of the board,
align the bottom and top edges of the board with the guide slots. Make
sure that both of the edges of the card rest in the guide slots.
2. Slide the TPXMIM (Figure 3-1) into the desired slots of the MMAC
card cage.
3. 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. Forcing a misaligned module into place
can damage the TPXMIM or the MMAC backplane.
