Alpine 3800 Series I/O Modules

This chapter describes:
• Configuring I/O Modules on page 151
• Installing I/O Modules on page 178
• Removing I/O Modules on page 180
NOTE
Read the information in this chapter thoroughly before you attempt to install or remove any Alpine I/O
modules.
Alpine I/O modules consist of a printed circuit board mounted on a metal panel that acts as the
insertion vehicle in an Alpine 3800 series switch. The module carrier also includes ejector/injector levers
and captive retaining screws at each end of the module front panel.
For more information about Alpine I/O module specifications, see Appendix C, "Module Technical
Specifications."

Configuring I/O Modules

No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; configuration information is stored on the
SMMi for the Alpine 3808 and 3804 chassis and the integrated Switch Management Module in the
Alpine 3802 chassis.
NOTE
There is a slight difference in appearance between Alpine I/O modules. Alpine Ethernet I/O modules
have a green stripe along the side of the module. Alpine Access I/O modules have a silver stripe along
the side of the module.
When the Alpine 3800 series switch is powered on, ExtremeWare generates a default configuration for
any slots with I/O modules. The default configuration allows the I/O module ports to participate in the
VLAN named default. The default configuration for the I/O module is not preserved unless you
explicitly save the information to nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
