z

 

4-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX FE interface module (4FE) 

z

 

High-performance network data encryption module (HNDE)  

7.2  Installing and Removing an MIM 

 

  Caution: 

There is a shield finger on the front panel of the MIM module, which provides 
electromagnetic shielding for the firewall. You must keep the shield finger intact when 
replacing the module. Do not remove the shield finger.  

 

Before installing MIMs, read Chapter 2  “Installation Preparations” carefully. 

I. Tools
