2.3 INSTALLING BRIMS
You can install a BRIM in any Cabletron Systems device that supports
BRIM technology (e.g., EMM-E6, MicroMMAC). Refer to the release
notes for the version of firmware running on the Cabletron Systems
device to ensure that the BRIM-A6 is supported.
The following subsections provide generic instructions for installing a
BRIM-A6 in a MIM or in a standalone hub. Refer to your specific MIM
or standalone hub documentation for exact BRIM slot and connector
locations.
2.3.1 Installing a BRIM in a MIM
To install a BRIM-A6 in a MIM that supports BRIM technology:
1. Power-down the MMAC hub and remove all power cords.
2. Disconnect all cables from the MIM. Note the ports to which these
cables attach.
3. Attach the disposable grounding strap to your wrist (refer to the
instructions outlined on the disposable grounding strap package).
4. Unscrew the top and bottom knurled knobs of the MIM face plate.
5. Slide out the MIM, and place it on its side with the internal
components facing up.
6. Remove the mounting screws and the BRIM coverplate. See
Figure 2-2.
7. Remove the standoff screws. See Figure 2-2.

NOTE
Cabletron Systems recommends that you power-down the hub
even though Cabletron MIMs have “hot swap” capabilities.
