Removing I/O Modules - Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 8810 Hardware Installation Manual

Removing I/O Modules

All BlackDiamond 10K series I/O modules are hot-swappable. You do not need to power off the system
to remove a module. Complete the action of removing a BlackDiamond 10K series I/O module in a
reasonable time frame. Be sure to remove the module completely to avoid partial connection of
backplane connectors.
You need the following tools and equipment to remove an I/O module:
ESD-preventive wrist strap
# 1 Phillips screwdriver
Replacement I/O module or blank faceplate if you are not replacing the I/O module
To remove an I/O module:
1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap, that is provided, to your wrist and connect the metal end of
the ESD-preventive wrist strap to the ground receptacle that is located on the top-left corner of the
switch front panel, as shown in.
2 Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the two captive screws shown in
3 Simultaneously rotate the ejector/injector levers outward to disengage the module from the
backplane.
a Grasp the module front panel with one hand, and place your other hand under the metal panel to
support the weight of the module.
CAUTION
To prevent ESD damage, handle the module by the metal panel edges only. Never touch the components on the
PCB or pins on any of the connectors.
b Slide the module out of the chassis and place it immediately into an antistatic sack to protect it
from ESD damage and to prevent dust from collecting on the module's connectors.
4 If you are not going to install a replacement I/O module, cover the slot with a blank faceplate.
Otherwise, follow the I/O module installation procedure
To remove additional I/O modules, repeat steps 1 through 4.
NOTE
Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently connected to the chassis so that it is always available when you
need to touch ESD-sensitive components.
