Installing Msms - Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 10K Series Installation Manual

BlackDiamond 10808 Switch Management Module

Installing MSMs

The BlackDiamond 10808 switch comes with eight blank front panels already installed. Use a blank
front panel to fill slots not occupied by I/O modules or switch management modules. For information
about how to install a blank front panel, see "Installing a Blank Front Panel" on page 76.
The BlackDiamond MSM is hot-swappable. You can insert a BlackDiamond MSM at any time, without
causing disruption of network services. Complete the action of inserting a BlackDiamond MSM in a
reasonable time frame. Be sure to insert the module completely to avoid partial connection of backplane
connectors.
You need the following tools and equipment to install an MSM:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
• # 1 Phillips screwdriver
• MSM module
To install the MSM:
1 Select a slot for the module:
• Slot A or slot B in the BlackDiamond 10808 switch
CAUTION
You can install MSMs in lettered slots only. MSMs do not fit in numbered slots. Forceful insertion can
damage the MSM.
2 Attach the ESD strap that is provided to your wrist and connect the metal end to the ground
receptacle that is located on the top-left corner of the switch front panel.
3 Remove the blank faceplate from the slot to make room for the module, if applicable.
NOTE
Any unoccupied module slot in the chassis should have a blank faceplate installed to ensure
satisfactory protection from EMI and to guarantee adequate airflow through the chassis.
4 Place the ESD bag containing the MSM on a flat ESD surface, clean from any debris.
5 Break any seals on the bag.
6 Open the ESD bag and firmly grasp the rail of the module.
7 Holding the rail of the module, pull the ESD bag off the module.
NOTE
By holding the rail of the module and pulling the ESD module off the module, you will prevent
damage to the module that might be caused by sliding the module on the ESD surface.
8 Check the connectors for dust and packing materials.
CAUTION
To prevent ESD damage, handle the module by the metal panel edges only. Never touch the
components on the PCB or pins on any of the connectors.
