Introduction
Introduction
Welcome to the EPIM-3PS Installation Guide. This manual
guides you through the installation and setup of the
EPIM-3PS and includes the following sections:
• BRIM Installation Considerations
• Installing the EPIM-3PS
• Making Connections
• EPIM-3PS LEDs
BRIM Installation Considerations
You can install your EPIM-3PS in any device that supports
both BRIM and EPIM technology (e.g., EMM-E6,
MicroMMAC, ESXMIM or the NBR-420/620),
BRIM and the EPIM-3PS must go into equivalent slots in
order to be correctly recognized by local management.
Table 1 lists the EPIM-3PS and BRIM port match-ups for
the various Cabletron modules.

Note
: On some de vices, the EPIM slot is located
under
the
BRIM slot. In these cases, install the EPIM-3PS and

Connecting the EPIM-3PS to a BRIM
To connect an EPIM-3PS to a BRIM:
1.) Plug one end of the Ethernet cable (P/N 9372088) into
the EPIM-3PS (Figure 2).
2.) Plug the other end of the cable into the BRIM.
3.) After returning the MIM to the MMAC , returning power
to your hub, and reconnecting to the network, the
BRIM is now ready for operation.
Note
: To disconnect the Ethernet cable from the
EPIM-3PS, carefully insert a small flat screwdriver between
the clip on the connector and the circuit board.
