4.2
Installing the CRBRIM-W/E
This section contains procedures on how to install a CRBRIM-W/E.
You can install a CRBRIM-W/E in any device that supports both BRIM and EPIM
technology (e.g., EMM-E6, MicroMMAC, ESXMIM or the NBR-420/620), but,
the CRBRIM-W/E and the EPIM-3PS must go into equivalent slots in order to be
correctly recognized by local management. Table 1 lists the EPIM-3PS and BRIM
port match-ups for the various Cabletron modules.
Refer to specific MIM or hub documentation for exact BRIM and EPIM slot and
connector locations.

TIP
On some devices, the EPIM slot is located under the BRIM slot. In
these cases, install the EPIM-3PS and connect the internal
Ethernet cable to the EPIM before installing the CRBRIM-W/E.
Cabletron supplies a user installable 4 megabyte DRAM SIMM
with CRBRIM-W/E models configured for DESKTOP or
ENTERPRISE routing software. Install the DRAM SIMM before
installing the CRBRIM-W/E into your MMAC hub. See Chapter 6,
section 6.1.4 for DRAM installation instructions.
