INSTALLING THE VHSIM-G02
You can install a VHSIM-G02 in any Cabletron Systems device that
supports VHSIM technology (e.g., 2E253-49R, 6H252-17).
The following sections provide instructions for installing a VHSIM-G02
in an interface module or in a standalone device. Refer to your specific
interface module or standalone device documentation for exact VHSIM
slot and connector locations.
2.2.1
Installing the VHSIM-G02 in an Interface Module
To install a VHSIM-G02 in an interface module that supports VHSIM
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
the cables from the ports.
2. Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions outlined in the
interface module User’s Guide).
3. If the module is installed in a chassis, unlock the top and bottom plastic
locking tabs of the module faceplate, and remove the module from the
chassis.
NOTE
Refer to the release notes for the version of firmware running
on the Cabletron Systems device to ensure that the
VHSIM-G02 is supported.
!
CAUTION
The VHSIM-G02 and the host module are sensitive to static
discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static
precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the VHSIM-G02 or host module.
