All BlackDiamond 6800 module cards (MSM64i modules and I/O modules) are
hot-swappable. You do not need to power off the system to remove or insert a module
card.
To remove and replace a module card, follow these steps:
1 Prior to installing module cards into the BlackDiamond 6800 chassis, put on the ESD
wrist strap that is provided with the chassis, and connect the metal end to the
ground receptacle located on the top-left corner of the BlackDiamond 6800 front
panel.
2 Loosen the module card by unscrewing the screws using a #1 Phillips-head
screwdriver.
3 Rotate the ejector/injector handles to disengage the module card from the backplane.
4 Slide the module card out of the chassis.
5 Slide the new module card into the appropriate slot of the chassis (Slots 1 through
8), until it is fully seated in the backplane.
6 When the module is fully seated in the chassis, the ejector/injector handles will
begin to close.
7 To secure the module in the chassis, close the ejector/injector handles by pushing on
them toward the center of the module card, and tighten the screws using a #1
Phillips-head screwdriver.
Caution: The I/O module can be installed in any of the slots labeled Slot 1
through Slot 8 only. The I/O module does not fit in Slot A or Slot B. The MSM64i
modules can be installed in Slot A and Slot B. Forceful insertion may damage
the module.
