Module Compatibility
Although modules from different series can generally be used together in the same BlackDiamond
8800 Series chassis, certain restrictions apply. The following tables show supported and unsupported
combinations of module series.
•
8900 Series with 8800 Series
•
8900 Series with 8500 Series
•
8800 Series with 8500 Series
Caution
Do not attempt to combine modules from the BlackDiamond 8800 Series and BlackDiamond
12800 series product lines. When a BlackDiamond 8800 Series switch is running, ExtremeXOS
software will not recognize an installed BlackDiamond 12800 Series module.
