Installing or Replacing a PoS Module
Use the appropriate type of optical-fiber cable—single-mode or multimode—to connect
the PoS ports of your BlackDiamond 6800 series switch to another switch or router.
Single-mode and multimode optical-fiber cables can be acquired from a number
of different cable vendors, including AMP, Anixter, AT&T, Red-Hawk, and

Safety Information

Before you begin the process of installing or replacing a PoS module in a BlackDiamond
6800 series system, read the safety information in this section.
Failure to observe the necessary safety guidelines can lead to personal injury or
damage to the equipment.
In addition, observe the following safety guidelines:
• All service to components of a BlackDiamond 6800 series switch, including I/O
modules, should be performed by trained service personnel only. Service personnel
are persons having appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be
aware of the hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task and of
measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other persons.
The PoS modules use 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 printed circuit assembly.
• This device contains fiber optic ports. To protect your eyes, you should never look at
the fiber optic ports while they are on, or look directly at the fiber cable ends when
they are on.
• This module is a Class 1 laser device.
