Alpine 3800 Series Switch Management
Module
This chapter describes:
• Installing SMMi Modules on page 177
• Replacing SMMi Modules on page 178
NOTE
Read the information in this chapter thoroughly before you attempt to install or remove the Alpine Switch
Management Module (SMMi).
The Switch Management Module (SMMi) is responsible for upper-layer protocol processing and switch
management functions in the Alpine 3808 and Alpine 3804 chassis. The SMMi can store two
ExtremeWare software images (version 6.0 or later) and two switch configurations. An Alpine 3808 or
Alpine 3804 switch requires an installed SMMi.
NOTE
The Alpine 3802 switch does not require a separate Switch Management Module. All upper-layer
protocol processing and switch management functions are part of the integrated Switch Management
Module that is in the chassis.
Figure 97 shows the front view of the SMMi.

The SMMi module consists of a printed circuit board mounted on a metal panel that acts as the
insertion vehicle in an Alpine 3808 and Alpine 3804 chassis. The module carrier also includes
ejector/injector levers and captive retaining screws at each end of the module front panel.
