Safety ! xviii CAUTION The DELVM-UA, FEPIM, and the host module or hub 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 this equipment ACHTUNG Der DELVM-UA, FEPIMs und das Host-Modul bzw. der Hub sind für statische Entladungen empfindlich. Benutzen Sie deshalb ein Antistatikarmband, und beachten Sie während dieses Verfahrens alle diesbezüglichen Vorsichtsmaßnahmen.
Safety Requirements CAUTION Ensure that the FEPIM or DELVM-UA connector aligns with the DELVM-UA, module, or device connector pins to prevent bending the pins. Failure to do so can damage the DELVM-UA, FEPIM, module or device. ACHTUNG Vergewissern Sie sich, daß der FEPIM- oder DELHE-UA-Stecker gerade in den DELHE-UA, das Modul oder den Geräteanschluß eingesetzt wird und die Nadeln nicht gebogen werden. Wird er schräg eingesetzt, könnten DELHE-UA, FEPIM, das Modul oder das Gerät beschädigt werden.
Safety xx ACHTUNG Das Ende an beiden Seiten des Glasfaserkabels darf nicht berührt werden oder mit Staub, Schmutz und anderen Stoffen in Berührung kommen, die zur Verunreinigung führen und Datenübertragungsprobleme verursachen könnten. In einem solchen Fall müssen die Enden mit einem eigens dazu bestimmten Staubreiniger (z.B. einem speziellen Staubspray oder einem in Isopropylalkohol getauchten Wattestäbchen) sorgfältig gereinigt werden.
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The DELHE-UA has two Fast Ethernet ports in which Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules (FEPIMs) can be installed. Figure 1-1 shows the DELHE-UA. FEPIM 1 FEPIM 2 DELHE-UA SP fepim_ports Ports 1 and 2 Figure 1-1 1.1 DELHE-UA OVERVIEW The DELHE-UA extends the functionality of certain DIGITAL interface modules by providing high-speed uplink capability through Fast Ethernet technology with different types of media. 1.1.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1.2 Local Management The DELHE-UA is managed through the host device in which it is installed. For information concerning Local Management for the DELHE-UA, refer to the manual for the host platform. For details on obtaining the host platform manual, refer to Related Documentation in the Preface. 1.1.3 Full Duplex Switched Ethernet The optional Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules for the DELHE-UA can be configured to operate in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet mode. 1.1.
CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION To install the DELHE-UA the following items are required: • Antistatic wrist strap • Phillips screwdriver • Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules (FEPIMs) in the appropriate media Before attempting to use the DELHE-UA you should be familiar with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3 10BASE-T, and 802.3u 100BASE-T Specifications. 2.1 UNPACKING THE DELHE-UA ! The DELHE-UA and the host platform are sensitive to static discharges.
Chapter 2: Installation 4. After removing the module from its antistatic bag, visually inspect the device. If you notice any sign of damage, contact a DIGITAL representative immediately. Save the antistatic bag in the event the module must be reshipped. 2.2 INSTALLING FAST ETHERNET (PORT) INTERFACE MODULES Only qualified personnel should perform installation procedures. Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules (FEPIMs) must be installed in the DELHE-UA before installing the DELHE-UA in the host device.

Removing the FEPIM Coverplate Before installing a DELFX-UI or DELF3-UI module into the host module, remove the protective cover on the SC connector. 2. Refer to Figure 2-2. Gently pull the faceplate of the DELHE-UA forward to allow room for the FEPIM to be aligned over the connector. 3. Align the FEPIM connector into the DELHE-UA connector pins.

Press down firmly on the FEPIM until the pins slide all the way into the DELHE-UA connector. Ensure that the FEPIM seats flush on the standoffs. 5. Secure the FEPIM using the screws enclosed in the FEPIM packaging. The screw used to attach the rear of the FEPIM to the standoff is optional and not necessary for proper installation.
Installing the DELHE-UA 2.3 INSTALLING THE DELHE-UA Only qualified personnel should install or service this unit. A DELHE-UA can be installed in any DIGITAL device that supports HSIMs (High Speed Interface Module) technology (e.g., DLE52-MA, DLE28-MA). Refer to the Release Notes for the version of firmware running on the DIGITAL host platform to ensure that the DELHE-UA is supported. The following subsections provide generic instructions for installing a DELHE-UA in an interface module.
Chapter 2: Installation 5. Remove and save the two faceplate mounting screws securing the HSIM coverplate and remove the coverplate. See Figure 2-3. DELHE-UA Coverplate Faceplate Mounting Screws 2555_03 Figure 2-3 Removing the HSIM Coverplate 6. Refer to Figure 2-4 and place the DELHE-UA behind the module faceplate.

Align the connector on the DELHE-UA with the connector on the module. ! Ensure that the DELHE-UA connector aligns with the module connector pins to prevent bending the pins. This can damage both the DELHE-UA and the module. 8.
Chapter 2: Installation 9. Secure the DELHE-UA to the module faceplate using the mounting screws saved in Step 5. 10. Secure the DELHE-UA to the module standoffs using the standoff screws included in the DELHE-UA shipping materials. 11. Reinstall the interface module in the chassis. 12. Reattach the network cabling to the interface module. 2.4 CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK The DELHE-UA can be connected to the network using either fiber optic cable or twisted pair cable.
Connecting to the Network 2.4.1 Connecting a Fiber Optic Segment to the FEPIM DIGITAL offers fiber optic cables that use SC style connectors which are keyed to ensure proper crossover of the transmit and receive fibers. An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be maintained between like devices so that the transmit port of one device is connected to the receive port of the other device and vice versa.
Chapter 2: Installation ! Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants. Contamination of the ends causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends become contaminated, blow the surfaces clean with a canned duster. A fiber port cleaning swab saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol may also be used to clean the ends. 2. Insert one end of the SC connector into the FEPIM. 3.
