Installation Procedure - Cabletron Systems SSIM-A2-01 Installation And User Manual

Installation Procedure

The SSIM-Ax-01 module is packaged with software for both the module and the
base STS16-20RM Token Ring Switch. The switch is also packaged with software
for both the module and the switch. To ensure compatibility between the module
and the switch, you must install the later of the two software revisions. The switch
and module software is also available via Cabletron's online services, such as the
Internet.
When installing the module, follow the procedure listed below:
1. Install the software in the switch. See the switch manual for instructions on
downloading software.
2. Optional: clear NVRAM in the base switch. This will erase all configuration in
the switch.
3. Reset the switch to activate the new software.
4. If you cleared NVRAM in step 2, re-establish the switch configuration. Verify
that the switch is operating correctly.
5. Turn off the switch.
6. Physically install the module in one of the two expansion slots. See section
"Hardware Installation" on page 8.
7. Turn on the switch.
8. Download the software for the module. See section "Software Installation" on
