Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 User Manual

Appendix B: Upgrading the EMM-E6

This section contains procedures for adding or replacing an Ethernet 
Port Interface Module (EPIM) to upgrade or change the capabilities of 
your EMM-E6. After installing your new EPIM, refer to Chapter 3, 
Installation, for network connection instructions.

To install an EPIM, perform the following steps:

1. Remove the coverplate or the existing EPIM (whichever applies).

2. Slide your new EPIM into place, making sure the connectors on the 

rear of the module and inside the EMM-E6 attach properly. Refer to
Figure B-2.

3. Secure the EPIM to the EMM-E6 by tightening the mounting screw.

The EMM-E6 EPIM slots are designed to provide redundancy. 
Only one EPIM will be active at any time. The inactive EPIM 
port will be held in standby, and will be immediately activated in 
the event of a filure ofthe primary EPIM port.

Observe all antistatic precautions when handling sensitive 
electronic equipment.

When removing an existing EPIM, make sure to pull the 
module straight out to avoid damage to the connector.
