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.
