BlackDiamond 8800 a-Series I/O Modules
The BlackDiamond 8800 a-series I/O modules include:
● G48Ta I/O Module on page 34
● G48Xa I/O Module on page 35
● 10G4Xa I/O Module on page 36

BlackDiamond a-series modules require specific minimum versions of ExtremeXOS software to be
recognized by the MSM (see Ta bl e 9 ). Software builds earlier than the listed versions do not support the specified
I/O modules.
If you attempt to install one of these I/O modules before upgrading the software on your MSM, the module will not
be recognized by the software and it will not power up. The following error messages are similar to the messages
that may be displayed on the console or in the log. (Samples represent an unrecognized module in slot 2.)
● On the console: ERROR: Unknown cardtype in slot 2 - please program the eeprom
● In the log: <Error: HAL.Card.Error> MSM-A: Unable to read cardtype for slot 2
