INSTALLING THE HSIM-FE6
An HSIM-FE6 can be installed in any Cabletron Systems device that 
supports HSIM technology (e.g., 2H252-25R, 2E42-27, 6E132-25).
The following subsections provide generic instructions for installing an 
HSIM-FE6 in either an interface module or in a standalone device. Refer 
to the specific interface module or standalone device documentation for 
exact HSIM slot and connector locations.
2.3.1
Installing the HSIM-FE6 in an Interface Module
To install an HSIM-FE6 in an interface module that supports HSIM 
technology, perform the following steps.
1.
Note the ports of the interface module that have cables attached to 
them. Write down the ports and label the cables to make it easier to 
reattach the network properly after the installation. Then disconnect 
the cables from the ports.
2.
Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions outlined on 
the antistatic wrist strap package).
3.
If the interface module is installed in a chassis, unlock the top and 
bottom plastic locking tabs of the module faceplate.
4.
Remove the module from the chassis, and place it down flat with the 
internal components facing up.
Only qualified personnel should install or service this unit.
NOTE
Refer to the Release Notes for the version of firmware running 
on the Cabletron Systems host platform to ensure that the 
HSIM-FE6 is supported.
NOTE
The FEPIMs should already have been installed in the 
HSIM-FE6 at this time. If the FEPIMs have not been installed,
