Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 10808 Installation Manual page 118

Figure 63 shows the front view of the G8X MSM.
The MSM consists of a printed circuit board mounted on a metal panel that acts as the insertion vehicle
in a BlackDiamond 8810 switch. The module carrier also includes ejector/injector levers and captive
retaining screws at each end of the module front panel.
The G8X MSM has the following ports:
Console port—The DB9 serial console port is used to connect a terminal allowing you to perform
local management.
Management port—The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port allows you to connect an Ethernet
cable directly from your laptop into the management port to view and locally manage the switch
configurations.
Compact flash—You can insert an external compact flash memory card into this port. (See
for more information on Extreme Networks-supported compact flash cards.)
8 SFP fiber mini-GBIC data ports—These data ports operate as they do on any other I/O module.
Additionally, the G8X MSM has the following three buttons:
A—Use the A button to select the alternate BootROM image when powering-on the G8X MSM
module. To use the alternate BootROM image, you must hold the A button while pressing the R
button simultaneously.
D—Use the D button of force a system dump. This dumps the debug information into NVRAM; this
information is available on the next reboot. No core file is created.
R—Use the R button to reset the G8X MSM without removing the module from the chassis.
