3.3 INSTALLING THE BRIM-E100
A BRIM-E100 can be installed in most Cabletron Systems devices that
support BRIM technology (e.g., EMM-E6 or MicroMMAC). Refer to the
release notes for the version of firmware running on the Cabletron
Systems device to make sure that the BRIM-E100 is supported. The
following subsections provide generic instructions for installing a
BRIM-E100 in a MIM or standalone hub. Refer to your specific MIM or
standalone hub documentation for exact BRIM slot and connector
locations.
3.3.1 Installing a BRIM-E100 in a MIM
Install a BRIM-E100 in a MIM that supports BRIM technology as
follows:
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 and to a proper
ground. Refer to the instructions outlined on the disposable grounding
strap package.
4. Unscrew the top and bottom knurled knobs of the MIM faceplate.
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 3-4.

Only qualified personnel should install the BRIM-E100.
Incorrect installation could result in damage to the equipment

hub even though Cabletron Systems MIMs have “hot swap”
capabilities.
