Removing and Installing Mini-PIMs

Before you begin, power off the services gateway.

CAUTION:

The Mini-Physical Interface Modules (Mini-PIMs) are not hot-swappable. You must power off the services gateway before removing or installing Mini-PIMs.

To maintain proper airflow through the services gateway, cover any empty Mini-PIM slot with a blank faceplate.

CAUTION:

Do not remove a blank faceplate that covers an empty Mini-PIM slot unless you are installing a Mini-PIM in the empty slot.

Remove a Mini-Physical Interface Module

To remove a Mini-PIM from the services gateway (see Figure 1):

  1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface on which you intend to place the Mini-PIM.
  2. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your wrist and connect the other end to a site ESD point.
  3. Unplug the power adapter from the services gateway.
  4. Verify that the Power LED is off.
  5. Label the cables connected to the Mini-PIM so that you can reconnect each cable correctly.
  6. Disconnect the cables from the Mini-PIM.
  7. If necessary, arrange the cables to prevent them from dislodging or developing stress points.
  8. Remove the screws on each side of the Mini-PIM faceplate.
  9. Grasp the screws on each side of the Mini-PIM faceplate and slide the Mini-PIM out of the services gateway.

  10. Place the Mini-PIM in the electrostatic bag or on the antistatic mat.
  11. If you are not installing a replacement Mini-PIM into the empty slot, install a blank faceplate over the slot to maintain proper airflow.

Install a Mini-Physical Interface Module

To install a Mini-Physical Interface Module (Mini-PIM) in the services gateway (see Figure 2):

  1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your wrist and connect the other end to a site ESD point.
  2. Power off the services gateway by briefly pressing the Power button on the front panel. Wait for the Power LED to turn off before proceeding. Disconnect the services gateway from its power source.
  3. Remove the Mini-PIM from the electrostatic bag.
  4. Grasp the screws on each side of the Mini-PIM faceplate and align the notches in the connector at the rear of the Mini-PIM with the notches in the Mini-PIM slot in the device.
    CAUTION:

    Slide the Mini-PIM straight into the slot to avoid damaging the components of the Mini-PIM.

  5. Slide the Mini-PIM in until it is fully seated in the services gateway.
  6. Tighten the screws on each side of the Mini-PIM faceplate.
  7. Insert the appropriate cables into the cable connectors on the Mini-PIM.
  8. If necessary, arrange the cables to prevent them from dislodging or developing stress points:

    • Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight as they hang to the floor.

    • Place any excess cables out of the way in neatly coiled loops.

    • Use fasteners to maintain the shape of the cable loops.

  9. Reconnect the power adapter to the services gateway. Verify that the Power LED glows steadily green after you press the power button.
  10. Verify that the Mini-PIM LED on the device chassis glows steadily green to confirm that the Mini-PIM is online.
