Installing an Option Card in the 8500-MSM24,
MSM-48c, or 8900-MSM128
The 8500-MSM24, MSM-48c and 8900-MSM-128 modules have a slot for one of the following option
cards:
● S-G8Xc, which adds eight 1-gigabit SFP data ports to the MSM
● S-10G1Xc, which adds one 10-gigabit XFP data port to the MSM
You need the following tools and equipment to install an option card:
● ESD-preventive wrist strap
● #2 Phillips screwdriver
● #1 Phillips screwdriver
● 3/8-inch straight-tip screwdriver
Option cards for the 8500-MSM24, MSM-48c and 8900-MSM128 are not hot-pluggable. You must
administratively disable the module and remove it from the switch before you install the option card
To install an option card in an MSM:
1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to the ground
receptacle on the top-left corner of the switch chassis.
2 Remove the MSM from the switch as described in “Removing a BlackDiamond 8000 Series Module”
on page 120.
3 Loosen the retaining screws on the option slot cover plate (Figure 86) and remove the plate.

4 Align the option card with the card guides on the module, and carefully slide the option card into
the option slot.
5 At the edge of the module, rotate the hot-swap prevention latch up and hold it out of the way. Slide
the option card the rest of the way into the slot (Figure 87).
