Introduction
Welcome to the EPIM-3PS Installation Guide.This manual
guides you through the installation and setup of the
EPIM-3PS and includes the following sections:
• BRIM Installation Considerations
• Installing the EPIM-3PS
• Making Connections
• EPIM-3PS LEDs
BRIM Installation Considerations
You can install your EPIM-3PS in any device that supports
both BRIM and EPIM technology (e.g., EMM-E6,
MicroMMAC, ESXMIM or the NBR-420/620), but , the
BRIM and the EPIM-3PS must go into equivalent slots in
order to be correctly recognized by local management.
Table 1 lists the EPIM-3PS and BRIM port match-ups for
the various Cabletron modules.

Table 1. EPIM-3PS/BRIM Configuration
You must match the BRIM slot with the correct EPIM slot.
Refer to your BRIM documentation for specific BRIM and
EPIM installation procedures.
Note :On some devices, the EPIM slot is located under the
BRIM slot. In these cases, install the EPIM-3PS and
connect the internal Ethernet cable to the EPIM before
installing the BRIM.

Installing the EPIM-3PS
To install the EPIM-3PS into a Media Interface Module
(MIM):
1.) Remove the mounting screw shown in Figure 1.
Note :When removing an EPIM, be sure to pull the module
straight out to prevent damage to the connector.
2.) Remove the coverplate or the EPIM (whichever
applies).
3.) Slide your EPIM-3PS into place, making sure that the
connectors on the rear of the EPIM are fully engaged
with the connectors on the MIM.

Connecting the EPIM-3PS to a BRIM
To connect an EPIM-3PS to a BRIM:
1.) Plug one end of the Ethernet cable (P/N 9372088) into
the EPIM-3PS (Figure 2).
2.) Plug the other end of the cable into the BRIM.
3.) After returning the MIM to the MMAC, returning power
to your hub, and reconnecting to the network, the
BRIM is now ready for operation.
Note :To disconnect the Ethernet cable from the
EPIM-3PS, carefully insert a small flat screwdriver between
the clip on the connector and the circuit board.
