Installing an HMIM
IMPORTANT:
•
You can install an HMIM when the router is powered on. However, before replacing an HMIM
when the router is powered on, you must execute the
remove hmimslot slotnumber
command.
•
An HMIM interface module can be 1U or 0.5U. This section takes a 0.5U interface module for
example. When you install a 1U interface module to an MSR router, remove the filler panels of
the target slot and the neighboring slot above.
•
If you install HMIMs on both of the HMIM slots on an MSR3024, when you insert an HMIM to the
upper slot, slightly press down the HMIM, and then push it into the slot.
To install an HMIM:
1.
Remove the fastening screws with a Phillips screwdriver to remove the filler panel.
Keep the removed filler panel for future use.
2.
Push the HMIM slowly along the slide rails into the slot until it makes close contact with the
backplane of the router.

3.
Fasten the captive screws on the HMIM to secure it to the router.
