Removing a BlackDiamond 10808 Series Module

All BlackDiamond 10808 series modules are hot-swappable. You do not need to power off the system to
remove a module.
You need the following tools and equipment to remove a module:
ESD-preventive wrist strap (provided)
●
# 2 Phillips screwdriver
●
Replacement module or blank faceplate if you are not replacing the module
●
To remove a module:
1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist. If it is not already connected, connect the
metal end of the wrist strap to the ground receptacle on the top left corner of the chassis front.
2 At each end of the module front panel, use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the retaining screws.
3 Simultaneously rotate the ejector/injector levers outward to disengage the module from the
backplane.
4 Hold the module front panel with one hand, and slide the module out of the chassis. Place your free
hand under the metal panel to support the weight of the module.
CAUTION
To prevent ESD damage, handle the module only by the metal panel edges. Never touch the components on the
PCB or the pins on any of the connectors.
5 Immediately place the module into an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage and to prevent
dust from collecting on the module connectors.
6 If you are not going to install a replacement module, cover the slot with a blank faceplate. To install
a replacement module, follow the installation procedure starting
NOTE
Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently connected to the chassis so that it is always available when you
need to handle ESD-sensitive components.
