Unpacking and Installing Your ELS100-16TX

Table 2-2 describes the ELS100-16TX buttons.

2.2 INSTALLING AN EPIM

The ELS100-16TX provides two slots for a Cabletron EPIM-100FX
(Ethernet Port Interface Module). The ELS100-16TX is shipped
without EPIMs. To install an EPIM, follow the procedure below:

1. Remove the coverplate or the existing EPIM (whichever

applies).

2. Slide the new EPIM into place, making sure that the

connectors on the rear of the EPIM align correctly and firmly
with the connector inside the ELS100-16TX.
Refer to Figure 2-2.

3. Install the mounting screw.

Caution:

When removing an EPIM, pull the module straight out to
prevent damage to the connector.

Note:

The EPIM is hot swappable. Also, the RJ45 port corresponding to
the EPIM port is disabled once an EPIM is installed.
