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 (shipped with the chassis)
•
#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
Module Slot Assignments
on page 88.)
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 front panel installed to
ensure satisfactory protection from EMI and to maintain adequate airflow through the
chassis.
