Installing or Replacing an ARM

Inserting and Securing a Module

To insert and secure an ARM, follow these steps:
ARMs must be installed in any of the BlackDiamond 6808 chassis slots labeled
Slot 1 through Slot 8. ARMs do not fit in Slot A or Slot B. Forceful insertion can
damage the ARM.
1 Before installing modular cards into the BlackDiamond 6800 series chassis, put on
the ESD-preventive wrist strap that is provided with the chassis, and connect the
metal end of the grounding leash to the ground receptacle located on the top-left
corner of the BlackDiamond 6800 series switch front panel.
Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently connected to the BlackDiamond
6800 series chassis so that it is always available when you need to handle
ESD-sensitive switch components.
2 Identify the chassis slot for the module. If necessary, remove the blank filler from the
slot to make room for the ARM.
Any unoccupied module slot in the chassis should have a blank filler installed to
ensure satisfactory protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and to
guarantee adequate airflow through the chassis.
3 To insert an ARM, use Figure 2-2 as a reference and follow these steps:
To prevent ESD damage, handle the ARM by the metal card carrier edges only.
Never touch the components on the printed-circuit board or pins on any of the
connectors. Never attempt to lift or hold the module by grasping the heat sinks
on either of the network processors.
a Check to make sure that the module is right side up (printed-circuit board, or
PCB, facing to the right) and that the ejector/injector handles are extended.
b Grasp the module by its front panel with one hand and place your other hand
under the edge of the metal card carrier to support the weight of the module.
c Slide the module into the appropriate slot of the chassis until it is fully seated in
the backplane.
