Installing or Replacing an MPLS Module
The MPLS module uses electronic components that are sensitive to static
electricity. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) originating from you or from objects
around you can damage these components. Exercise every possible precaution
to prevent ESD when working around printed-circuit assemblies.
Keep all printed-circuit assemblies in protective ESD-preventive sacks or place
them on antistatic mats until you are ready to install them. Wear an
ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that the leash is securely grounded
before handling a bare circuit assembly.
Tools
You need the following tools to install an Extreme Networks MPLS module in a
BlackDiamond 6800 series chassis:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap and grounding leash that is provided with the
BlackDiamond 6800 series chassis.
• Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver.
MPLS Module Slot Locations
Figure 2-1 shows the I/O module slot locations where you can insert an MPLS module
in the BlackDiamond 6808 series chassis. You can install the MPLS module in any of the
numbered slots labeled Slot 1 through Slot 8. MPLS modules do not fit in Slot A or
Slot B. When you are installing a new MPLS module, you must first remove the blank
filler from the available slot.
To ensure a sufficient flow of cooling air across the component side of the
module, install the MPLS module in the BlackDiamond 6808 series chassis so
that another module, a blank filler, or the far right chassis wall covers the
component side of the module.
