Installing a BlackDiamond 8800 or 12800 Series
Module
You will need the following tools and equipment to install a BlackDiamond 8800 MSM or I/O module:
● ESD-preventive wrist strap
● #2 Phillips screwdriver
● Appropriate type of cable for the module if you are installing an I/O module
CAUTION
The module series number must be the same as the switch series number. For example, install BlackDiamond 8800
modules only in a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
To install a module in a BlackDiamond 8800 or 12800 series switch:
1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to the ground
receptacle on the chassis.
On a BlackDiamond 12804 or 8800 series chassis, the ground receptacle is at the top left corner.
On a BlackDiamond 12802 chassis, the ground receptacle is at the top right corner.
2 Select a slot for the module. (See “Module Slot Assignments” on page 173.)
3 Remove a blank front panel from a 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.
4 Remove the module from the antistatic packaging as follows:
a Place the antistatic bag containing the module on a flat ESD surface that is clear of any debris.
b Break the quality seal, the ESD warning seal, and the Read Installation Note seal.
c Open the antistatic bag and firmly grasp the rail of the module.
d Pull the antistatic bag off while holding the rail of the module.
