Installing GPIMs

VHSIM-G6 User’s Guide 2-7

The GPIMs are installed into the VHSIM-G6 as follows:

1. Attach the antistatic strap (refer to the instructions in the antistatic

wrist strap package) before removing the GPIM from the antistatic

packaging.

2. Remove the GPIM from the packaging.

3. Hold the GPIM with the network connection port facing away from

the VHSIM-G6. The 20-pin connector should be facing towards the

empty GPIM slot, with the wide part of the connector oriented up in

relation to the printing on the VHSIM-G6. See Figure 2-3 to orient the

GPIM 20-pin connector.

4. Gently insert the GPIM (20-pin connector side) through the GPIM

opening of the VHSIM-G6. See Figure 2-4. The door folds up and the

slides engage the sides of the GPIM. If the GPIM does not go in easily,

do not force the device. Check the orientation against Figure 2-3. Push

the GPIM back until the 20-pin port engages the GPIM. The latch

mechanism engages when the GPIM connector seats properly in the

port.

CAUTION

The GPIM, VHSIM-G6 and the host module or device are

sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and

observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to

do so could result in damage to the GPIM, VHSIM-G6, or host

module or device. Always leave the GPIM in the antistatic bag

in which it was shipped or an equivalent antistatic container

until ready to install it.
