ICIM IN/ICIM OUT Connection Procedure
To make ICIM IN/ICIM OUT connections, follow these steps.
Connect the DB9 to DB9 cable, part number 180143 or equivalent, from the
1.
ICIM OUT of the chassis containing the ICIM to the ICIM IN connector of the
second chassis.
Connect a DB9 to DB9 cable from the ICIM OUT of the second chassis to the
2.
ICIM IN of the third chassis.
Continue this "daisy-chain" connection until all desired chassis are
3.
connected.
Notes:
• All chassis connected in this "daisy-chain" must be powered and have a fan
tray installed. A chassis that is connected but is either not powered, or does
not have a fan tray installed will cause faulty operation of the ICIM.
All chassis connected in this "daisy-chain" must have a unique chassis I.D.

number.
EM OUT / IN Connections
The Prisma II platform allows the interconnection of multiple ICIMs located in
separate chassis. This connection is required for all ICIMs that you intend to monitor
using TNCS and must be completed between each chassis containing an ICIM.
The back panel of the chassis has two DB9 connectors for the TNCS to ICIM
connection. The EM OUT is a male connector and the EM IN is a female connector.
EM OUT / EM IN Connection Procedure
To make EM IN/EM OUT connections, follow these steps.
A connection is required from the first chassis containing an ICIM to the
1.
TNCS system. The Prisma II Cable Kit (738686) is required for this connection.
Connect this cable to the EM IN of the first chassis containing an ICIM.
Utilizing a DB9 to DB9 cable (180143 or equivalent), connect the EM OUT of
2.
the first chassis to the EM IN of a second chassis containing an ICIM.
Continue this "daisy-chain" connection until all chassis containing an ICIM
3.
are connected.
