Overview of the BlackDiamond 8000 Series Modules

Modules available for the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches include management switch modules
(MSMs) and I/O modules. A BlackDiamond module consists of a printed circuit board mounted on a
metal panel that acts as the insertion vehicle in the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches. The module
carrier also includes ejector/injector levers and captive retaining screws at each end of the module front
panel. LEDs on the module front panel provide information about the operating status of the modules.
The BlackDiamond 8800 series switches support the modules listed in
