INSTALLING FAST ETHERNET (PORT) INTERFACE 
MODULES
Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules (FEPIMs) must be installed in the 
HSIM-FE6 before installing the HSIM-FE6 in the host device. The 
FEPIMs provide connectivity to the network. At least one FEPIM must be 
installed in either port one or port two. To install an FEPIM in the 
HSIM-FE6, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the coverplate from the port slot where the FEPIM will be 
installed.
To remove the coverplate, refer to
a.
Remove the two screws fastening the coverplate to the standoffs. 
Save the screws.
b.
Lift and remove the coverplate from the top of the front standoffs.
Only qualified personnel should perform installation 
procedures.
!
CAUTION
The FEPIM and the HSIM-FE6 are sensitive to static 
discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static 
precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could 
damage the FEPIM or the HSIM-FE6.
The FE-100F3 uses Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical 
instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical 
instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When 
viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from 
the network adapter.
