IMPORTANT:
To install a MIM, install it to the HMIM adapter and then insert it into the HMIM slot.
You can install a MIM when the router is powered on. However, before replacin
a MIM when the router
is powered on, you must execute the remove hmimslot
slotnumber
command.
A MIM interface module can be 1U or 0.5U. This section takes a 0.5U interface module for example.
When you install a 1U interface module to an MSR router, remove the filler panels of the tar
et slot and
the neighboring slot above, and use the 1U HMIM adapter.
If you install MIMs on both of the HMIM slots on an MSR3024, when you insert a MIM to the upper slot,
slightly press down the MIM, and then push it into the slot.
To install a MIM:
1. Remove the fastening screws with a Phillips screwdriver to remove the filler panel.
2. Push the MIM slowly along the slide rails until it makes close contact with the backplane of the
HMIM adapter.
3. Fasten the fastening screws.
4. Fasten the captive screws on the MIM to secure it to the HMIM adapter.
