Using the Passport 8100 Modules

Chassis Configuration Requirements

Slots in the Passport 8000 Series chassis are numbered from the top down, starting

with 1. In either the Passport 8010 or the Passport 8006 chassis, slots 5 and 6 are

reserved for the Passport 8190SM Switch Management Module. Any of the

Passport 8100 Series I/O modules can be installed in the remaining chassis slots.

Note: You must install an I/O module in slot 1 or slot 2 to provide bus master

functions in the switch.

Before you perform any installation or replacement procedure on the switch,

please note the following safe-handling guidelines:

•

To prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), handle the switch

chassis and modules only when you, the chassis, and the chassis modules are

properly grounded. Nortel Networks recommends using a grounding wrist

strap.

•

When handling modules, do not touch components on the circuit boards;

always handle modules by their edges. Store unused modules in their

protective packaging.

•

To maintain proper airflow and cooling, always cover unused module slots

and power supply bays with filler panels.
