To install an I/O module:
1 Select a slot for the module:
• Slots numbered 1 through 16 in the BlackDiamond 6816 chassis
• Slots numbered 1 through 8 in the BlackDiamond 6808 chassis
• Slots numbered 1 through 4 in the BlackDiamond 6804 chassis
CAUTION
You can install I/O modules only in slots 1 through 16 in the BlackDiamond 6816, slots 1 through 8
in the BlackDiamond 6808, or slots 1 through 4 on the BlackDiamond 6804. I/O modules do not fit in
slots A, B, C, or D. Forceful insertion can damage the I/O module.
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 Grasp the module by its front panel with one hand, and place your other hand under the edge of the
metal panel to support the weight of the module. 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.
5 For the BlackDiamond 6816 and the BlackDiamond 6804, ensure that the module is horizontal with
the module name to the left, the PCB on top, and that the ejector/injector levers are extended.
For the BlackDiamond 6808, ensure that the module is vertical with the module name at the top, the
PCB to the right, and that the ejector/injector levers are extended.
a Slide the module into the appropriate slot of the chassis (slots 1 through 16 in the BlackDiamond
6816, slots 1 through 8 in the BlackDiamond 6808, or slots 1 through 4 in the BlackDiamond
6804), until it makes contact with the backplane.
NOTE
Use the metal panel, not the PCB, to guide the I/O module
As the module begins to seat in the chassis, the ejector/injector levers begin to close.
b To close the ejector/injector levers, use both hands simultaneously to push the levers toward the
center of the module.
c To secure the module, tighten the two captive screws using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
