Refer to the Installing Ethernet Port Interface Modules (EPIMs),Installing WAN Port Interface Modules (WPIMs), and CSX-COMP/ENCR Installationsections within this chapter for installation instructions.Installing Ethernet Port Interface Modules (EPIMs)This section contains procedures for adding or replacing an Ethernet Port Interface Module(EPIM) to upgrade or change the capabilities of your CSX400. After installing your new EPIM,refer to Chapter 5, Ethernet Cabling Requirements, for network configuration guidelines.Appendix A, EPIM Specifications, provides specification information on Cabletron SystemsEPIMs.!CAUTIONThe EPIMs and WPIMs, and CSXCOMP/ENCR for the CSX400 are sensitive to staticdischarges. Use a grounding strap and observe all static precautions duringinstallation. Failure to do so could result in damage to the EPIMs, WPIMs, CSXCOMP/ENCR, and the CSX400.NOTEThe CSX400 must have at least one EPIM and one WPIM installed before you canbegin configuring the device.!CAUTIONBefore performing installation procedures, ensure that the requirements outlined in thesection, Guidelines for Installations, are met.
