If you attempt to install one of these I/O modules before upgrading the software on your
MSM to the necessary minimum software version, the module will not be recognized by the
software and it will not power up. The following error messages are similar to the messages
that may be displayed on the console or in the log. (Samples represent an unrecognized
module in slot 2.)
•
Console: ERROR: Unknown cardtype in slot 2 - please program the eeprom

Do not install 8900 Series I/O modules in any slot of a BlackDiamond 8810 chassis that has a
manufacturing part number of 800129-00 (revision 10 or earlier). (Most of these chassis models are
labeled Aspen instead of BlackDiamond.) To verify the part number and revision, use the show version
CLI command. This compatibility issue affects only I/O modules.
Caution
The backplane connectors do not seat properly if you try to insert an 8900 Series I/O module
into a chassis labeled Aspen 8810 (manufacturing part number 800129-00, revision 10 or
earlier). ExtremeXOS software will not allow an 8900 Series I/O module to become
operational if it is inserted into a chassis labeled Aspen 8810.
