Read the information in this chapter thoroughly before you attempt to install or remove a

Do not attempt to mix modules across Extreme Networks product lines. BlackDiamond 8000 series
modules are for use only in a BlackDiamond 8810 or 8806 switch. When a BlackDiamond switch is in use,
ExtremeXOS software will not recognize a module from a different product line.
