1.4 SIC/MIM Purchasing Guideline

You may equip a 3Com Series Modular Router with appropriate SICs and MIMs and
are allowed to:
Install several SICs or MIMs of the same type on the router;
Install a SIC or MIM in any slot on the router, disregarding its type.
Also, you should:
Select interface cable appropriate to each SIC or MIM;

1.5 Installation/Removal of SIC and MIM

Warning:
3Com 5000 Family Routers do not support online insertion and removal of SICs and MIMs. Before
implementing any of the following operations, wear an anti-static wrist strap and ESD-preventive glove,
and make sure that the power of the Router has been turned off and the power cord has been
unplugged. Otherwise, the operator may get an electric shock or the Router may get damaged.
Caution:
The electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets on the front panel of each MIM/SIC can protect the
whole router. Please leave the gaskets intact when uninstalling or replacing the MIM/SIC and never
remove them;
In case of the possible damage to MIMs, put the MIMs on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) tray during
the installation and replacement;
Hold the circuit board by the edge and do not touch the components and the surface of the PCB;
If you are not planning to install a new MIM/SIC after removing the old one, install a blank filler panel
to keep the chassis dust-free and thereby to ensure the normal ventilation of the Router.
