Chapter 1
Installing the Ethernet DCM
Complete the steps in this chapter to install an Ethernet data collection module
(DCM) in an ARN. The steps in this guide describe how to
1.
Open the ARN enclosure to access the component tray.
2.
Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
Caution:
antistatic strap whenever you remove, install, or handle printed circuit boards.
3.
Remove an installed DCM, if necessary.
Install the new DCM on the ARN base module or expansion module.
4.
5.
Close the ARN.
6.
Proceed to software configuration tasks.
Opening the ARN
To open the enclosure and expose the base module:
1.
Be sure that the ARN power switch is turned off (0).
2.
Unplug the power cable from the wall receptacle and then fr om the ARN

Attach an antistatic wrist strap before proceeding.
You receive an antistatic wrist strap with the ARN system and with the
upgrade module shipment. Refer to the instructions in the wrist strap bag.
The antistatic wrist strap directs the discharge of static electricity from your
body to the router chassis, thereby avoiding discharge to sensitive electronic
components.
Proceed as follows:

When you power on the ARN, the following sequence of front panel LED activity
should occur:
•All base module LEDs light momentarily; this tests that the LEDs are
operational.
•The Run, Boot, and Fail LEDs count through a short, initial startup sequence.

•The Pwr (power) LED lights and remains on.
•The Run LED be gins flashing and continues to flash until the ARN completes
all diagnostic tests.
•As the diagnostic procedure tests each module, the LED representing that
module flashes slowly. If the module passes its diagnostic test, the LED
remains on. If the module fails its diagnostic test, the Fail LED remains on
and the module LED flashes rapidly.
•After completing the diagnostic testing procedure, the boot process begins.

•After the boot process completes, the Run LED lights and the Boot LED turns
off, indicating that the ARN is operational.
If the LEDs on the ARN light in this sequence, your upgrade is successful.
Contact the network administrator to verify that the ARN is now connected to the
network.
If the LEDs do not light in this sequence, the network administrator can refer to
Configuring Remote Access to help troubleshoot the problem.
Note: If the ARN does not contain an expansion module, an adapter module, a
redundant power supply, a data collection module, or a Flash card, the LEDs
associated with these components remain off.
If you need additional assistance, contact your local Bay Networks Technical
Response Center.

Removing an Installed SIMM
To remove the existing SIMM from an Ethernet DCM:
1.Look at the connector side of the DCM and identify the SIMM connector
and installed SIMM near the edge of the board (F

Installing a DCM SIMM
1.Hold the replacement SIMM by its top corners, away from the connector
edge. Orient the guide notch as noted in Step 4
2.Slip the SIMM into the connector socket and push in gently to seat the
SIMM firmly in the socket (F
igure 2-5).
.
Caution: The SIMM is keyed with the guide notch to prevent incorrect
insertion. Do not force the SIMM if it does not go easily into the socket.

3.Tilt the SIMM down into its locked position (Figure 2-6).
You may hear a “click” as the spring latches engage the ends of the SIMM.
Caution: It is normal to feel a slight resistance as the SIMM comes to its
locked position, but be careful not to use too much force. It is easy to damage
the SIMM socket by forcing it into the locked position.

The final SIMM position is horizontal to the DCM printed circuit board.
4.If the SIMM does not lock, remove it, check the orientation of the guide
notch, reinsert the SIMM, and wiggle it gently as you press it into the
socket. Then try again to tilt the SIMM into its locked position.

Recommended SIMMs
SIMMs must operate at 70 ns or faster and have gold-plated contacts. Table 2-1
lists specific SIMMs that are recommended for the Ethernet DCM.
