Installing a BlackDiamond 8800 Series Module
BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide
103
When you handle modules, optic 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 101.)
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 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-protective 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 Hold the rail of the module as you pull the antistatic bag off the module.
NOTE
By holding the rail of the module and pulling the ESD bag off the module, you prevent damage to the module
that might be caused by sliding the module on the ESD surface.
Store the module packaging for future use.
CAUTION
To prevent ESD damage, hold the module by the metal rail and front panel only. Never touch the components on
the PCB or the pins on any of the connectors.
5 Verify that the module injector/ejector handles are open (Figure 58).
