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.
•
If you install HMIMs on both of the HMIM slots on an MSR 36-20, when you insert an HMIM to the
upper slot, slightly press down the HMIM, and then push it into the slot.
•
To install a 0.5 U HMIM into HMIM slot 3 on an MSR 36-10 or HMIM slot 9 or 10 on an MSR
36-60, install the HMIM in the lower part of the slot. Make sure the HMIM has good contact with
the connectors in the slot.
The following routers do not support HMIMs:
•
MSR3600-28
•
MSR3600-28-SI
•
MSR3600-28-SI-GL
•
MSR3600-28-X1
•
MSR3600-28-X1-DP
•
MSR3600-51
•
MSR3600-51-SI
•
MSR3600-51-X1
•
MSR3600-51-X1-DP
An HMIM can be 1 U or 0.5 U. When you install a 1U HMIM to an MSR router, remove the filler
panels of the target slot and the neighboring slot above. This section uses a 0.5 U HMIM as an
example.
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.
Figure 41 Removing the filler panel
2.
Push the HMIM slowly along the slide rails into the slot until it makes close contact with the
backplane of the router.
