CAUTION
The backplane connectors do not seat properly if you try to insert a BlackDiamond 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 a Blackdiamond 8900 series I/O module to become operational if it is inserted into a chassis
labeled Aspen 8810.

Distinguishing an MSM from an I/O Module

The color of the release latch is different on the injector/ejector handle of BlackDiamond 8000 series
MSMs and I/O modules. Orange injector/ejector release latches indicate that the module is a
BlackDiamond MSM, and green injector/ejector release latches indicate that the module is a
BlackDiamond I/O module (see
Figure 73: Colors on Injector/ejector Release Latches

CAUTION
Although they appear physically similar, BlackDiamond 12800 series modules are not compatible with
BlackDiamond 8800 series hardware. Do not try to install a BlackDiamond 12800 series module in a BlackDiamond
8810 or 8806 chassis.
When you handle modules, optical devices, or other modular accessories, use an ESD-preventive wrist
strap to reduce the risk of electronic damage to the equipment. Transport PC boards only in electrostatic
packaging. Always place PC boards on a grounded surface before working on them.
