BlackDiamond 8800 Modules
This chapter describes modules for the BlackDiamond 8800 series of switches and includes the
following sections:
●
Management Switch Modules (MSM) on page 53
●
MSM LEDs on page 56
●
I/O Modules on page 56
●
I/O Module LEDs on page 66
CAUTION
Do not attempt to mix and match modules across Extreme Networks product lines. BlackDiamond 8800 series
modules are for use in a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch only, such as a BlackDiamond 8810 or BlackDiamond
8806 switch. When a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch is in use, ExtremeXOS software will not recognize a module
from a different product line.
Management Switch Modules (MSM)
The BlackDiamond 8800 MSMs, the MSM-G8X and the MSM-48, provide the active switching fabric and
CPU control subsystem. One MSM is required for switch operation; however, adding a second MSM to
the chassis increases reliability and throughput. Each MSM provides 192 Gbps of switching throughput
through three ASICs. Each module also contains a temperature sensor, nonvolatile random-access
memory (NVRAM), and a real-time clock.
The BlackDiamond 8800 MSMs consist of a printed circuit board mounted on a metal panel that acts as
the insertion vehicle in the BlackDiamond 8800 series of switches. The module carrier also includes
ejector/injector levers and captive retaining screws at each end of the module front panel.
A compact flash slot allows you to insert an external compact flash memory card. (See
Chapter 2
for
more information about Extreme Networks-supported compact flash cards.)
Slots for BlackDiamond 8800 MSMs
MSMs reside in different slots depending on which BlackDiamond switch you operate:
●
If you are using only one MSM in the BlackDiamond 8806 switch, install that MSM in slot
3
. If you
want to use two MSMs to increase reliability and throughput, install the second MSM in slot
4
.
●
If you are using only one MSM in the BlackDiamond 8810 switch, install that MSM in slot
5
. If you
want to use two MSMs to increase reliability and throughput, install the second MSM in slot
6
.

“Installing a BlackDiamond 8800 or 12800 Series Module” on page 175

install a BlackDiamond 8800 MSM.
