Installing and replacing LIMs
Physical installation and replacement of a LIM are similar procedures to the
installation and replacement of a control module. Refer to the illustration in
Figure 6-2 on page 6-3, if necessary.
Installing a LIM
To install a LIM:
1
Put on the antistatic wrist strap, as recommended in “Preventing static discharge damage”
on page 1-2, and plug it into the ESD grounding jack located on the front of the unit. (See
Figure 1-4 on page 1-6.)
2
Remove the blank slot cover on the desired slot on the front of the unit. (See “Slot
numbering and module placement” on page 6-4.)
3
Align the LIM with the card guides and carefully slide the module into the unit.
Note
Keep the connector on the LIM being inserted away from components on
adjacent LIMs. Do not force the card. Once the card has engaged its bus
connector, press firmly to be sure it is fully seated.
4
Depress the ejectors simultaneously.
5
Slide the card ejector lock up, if the LIM is equipped with an ejector lock.
6
Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, secure the LIM by tightening the thumbscrews.
7
If necessary, if all other installation tasks are complete, including the installation of an
associated LPM, turn on power to the Stinger unit.
8
Wait several minutes and then verify the behavior of the status lights on the LIM to verify
its operational status.
For status light information, see the module guide for the LIM you are installing.
Replacing a LIM
!
Caution
Lucent Technologies recommends setting the administrative status of the
LIM to Down (through the command-line interface) before replacing the module.
When a LIM is removed, all its ports and circuits are terminated, and data loss might
occur. For instructions on changing a LIM’s state to Down and then back to Up, see
the
Stinger Administration Guide
.
Refer to the illustration in Figure 6-1 on page 6-2, if necessary.
To replace a LIM:
1
Put on the antistatic wrist strap, as recommended in “Preventing static discharge damage”
on page 1-2, and plug it into the ESD grounding jack located on the front of the unit. (See
Figure 1-4 on page 1-6.)
2
Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the top and bottom thumbscrews attaching
the module to the unit.
3
Slide the ejector lock located at the top of the LIM down to disconnect the module from
the network, if the LIM is equipped with an ejector lock.
4
Lift the top and bottom card ejectors simultaneously to remove the module from the unit.
Lift both ejectors simultaneously to avoid damage to the module.
5
Carefully slide the LIM out of the unit and place it into an antistatic container.
