Installing a MIM
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 replacing an HMIM when the
router is powered on, you must execute the remove hmimslot

command.
To install a MIM:
1. Remove the fastening screws with a Phillips screwdriver to remove the filler panel.
Keep the removed filler panel and screws in an anti-static bag for future use.
2. Push the MIM slowly along the slide rails until it makes close contact with the backplane of the
HMIM adapter, and use screws to secure the MIM to the HMIM adapter.
3. Fasten the captive screws on the MIM to secure it to the HMIM adapter.
