Configuring I/O Modules
To connect to the F96Ti module, use a 180-degree male RJ-21 connector with a shielded PVC trunk cable
and secure to a maximum of 4 in-lbs of torque. You can access the ports in one of the following ways:
• Through a patch panel by terminating the cable and shield with an RJ-21 connector.
• Directly by using a cable that is terminated with 12 RJ-45 connectors.
The RJ-21 connector is shown in Figure 159. For cable specifications, see Table 120 on page 356.
Appropriate cables are available from your local supplier.

The default configuration of the F96Ti module is as follows. All ports:
• Are added to the default VLAN as untagged.
• Inherit the properties of the default VLAN (protocol type, VLANid, and so forth).
• Operate in auto-negotiation mode.
LEDs
The F96Ti module has a module status LED.
For information about the module status LED and its activity on the F96Ti module, see "I/O Module
LEDs" on page 293.
Software Requirements
The F96Ti module requires ExtremeWare version 6.1.8 or later and BootROM 6.5 or later.
Hardware Requirements
Extreme Networks recommends using iPower power supplies (part numbers 50020, 50021, 50022) with
F96Ti modules in a BlackDiamond 6800 chassis. A BlackDiamond 6800 chassis with the original power
supplies (part number 50012) will power fewer F96Ti modules than a chassis with iPower power
supplies.
Table 60 lists the number of F96Ti modules that you can install in a BlackDiamond chassis depending on
which power supplies are installed.
