INSTALLING GPIMS
The 6H262-18 has two different GPIMs that can be installed. Both GPIMs are installed using the
same method, as shown in this procedure.
After installing a GPIM-01 or GPIM-09, refer to
Section 3.7
for details on connecting the GPIM to
the network.
Refer to the SmartSwitch Series 6H202, 6H203, 6H252, 6H253, 6H258, 6H259, 6H262, 6E233,
and 6E253 Local Management User’s Guide for specifications on the GPIMs.
The GPIMs are installed into the 6H262-18 as follows:
1.
Attach the antistatic strap (refer to the instructions in the antistatic wrist strap package) before
removing the GPIM from the antistatic packaging.
2.
Remove the GPIM from the packaging.
3.
Hold the GPIM with the network connection port facing away from the 6H262-18. The 20-pin
connector should be facing towards the empty GPIM slot, with the wide part of the connector
oriented with the wide part of the receiving connector. See
Figure 3-5
to orient the GPIM 20-pin
connector.

NOTE
The GPIMs are hot swappable, therefore they can be installed into the 6H262-18 at any
time during the installation of the module.
!
CAUTION
The GPIM and the 6H262-18 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 GPIM or 6H262-18. Always leave the GPIM in the antistatic bag
in which it was shipped or an equivalent antistatic container until ready to install it.
