Figure 4. BAM With CLIMs
2.2.1 Install a CLIM in a UCS Model 1002 or 1030 Enclosure
Insert a CLIM into an unused slot. Slide the CLIM into the rails and push it firmly into the
backplane, then tighten the captive screw. If you encounter resistance, pull it out and check that no
connector pins are bent on the CLIM or the backplane.
If you encounter more difficulty, contact Canoga Perkins at (818) 718-6300 for technical assistance.
Note: CLIMs are hot-swappable and can be inserted or removed without disrupting data transfer in
other modules in the chassis.
2.3 Install the Cables
The CLIM uses both electrical and fiber optic cables. UTP cables connect to the User Port while
fiber optic cables connect to the Extension port.
Dirty optical connectors are a common source of link loss or attenuation problems, especially for
single mode fiber (SMF). Clean the connectors before plugging in a cable and whenever there is a
significant or unexplained light loss. To prevent contamination, always install protective dust covers
on unused fiber optic connectors.
