CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION
This chapter describes how to unpack, configure, and install the BRIM-T6.
Because the operation of a BRIM-T6 requires a properly attached and
configured Token Ring Port Interface Module (TPIM), this chapter also
includes TPIM configuration and installation instructions.
CAUTION: Observe all precautions against electrostatic discharge when
handling the BRIM-T6, TPIMs, and other network devices. Electrostatic
discharge can damage a device’s processing components. Always wear a
properly grounded anti-static wrist strap when handling network devices.
Cabletron Systems includes an anti-static wrist strap and instructions with
all hardware devices.

3. Inspect the BRIM-T6 after removing it from the bag. If there is any
