Installing a BlackDiamond 8000 Series Module

You need the following tools and equipment to install a BlackDiamond 8000 series I/O module or MSM:
ESD-preventive wrist strap
●
#2 Phillips screwdriver
●
Appropriate type of cable for any ports on the module
●
CAUTION
Although they appear physically similar, BlackDiamond 12800 series modules are not compatible with
BlackDiamond 8800 series hardware. Do not try to install a BlackDiamond 12800 series module in a BlackDiamond
8810 or 8806 chassis.
When you handle modules, optical devices, or other modular accessories, use an ESD-preventive wrist
strap to reduce the risk of electronic damage to the equipment. Transport PC boards only in electrostatic
packaging. Always place PC boards on a grounded surface before working on them.
To install a module in a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch:
1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to the ground
receptacle at the top left corner of the chassis.
2 Select a slot for the module. (See
CAUTION
MSMs and I/O modules only fit properly into their designated slots. Forceful insertion into the wrong slot type
can damage the module.
3 Remove a blank front panel from the chassis slot, if applicable.
NOTE
Any unoccupied module slot in the chassis should have a blank faceplate installed to ensure satisfactory
protection from EMI and to maintain adequate airflow through the chassis.
