Removing a BlackDiamond 8800 Series Module
CAUTION
There are two styles of ejector/injector handles on the BlackDiamond 8800 series modules. Pay careful attention to
the instructions in step 2.
This section describes how to remove modules from a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch. BlackDiamond
modules are hot-swappable. You do not need to power the system off to remove a module.
You need the following tools and equipment to remove a BlackDiamond 8800 series module:
● ESD-preventive wrist strap
● #2 Phillips screwdriver
● Replacement module or blank faceplate if you are not replacing the module
To remove a BlackDiamond 8800 series module:
1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist. If it is not already connected, connect the
metal end to the ground receptacle at the top left corner of the chassis.
2 Unlock the module in one of the following ways:
● On a module without red lines on the screwheads, turn each captive screw counter-clockwise
(Figure 64). Verify that the yellow band around the captive screw head of each injector/ejector
handle is completely visible (Figure 64). This position ensures that the module is unlocked.
● On a module with red lines on the screwheads, turn each captive screw counter-clockwise one-
quarter turn (90 degrees) (Figure 64). Verify that the red line on each captive screw is in a
horizontal position (Figure 65). This position ensures that the MSM or I/O module is unlocked.
CAUTION
Be sure to turn each captive screw only 90 degrees or one-quarter turn counter-clockwise. Loosening the captive
screws beyond 90 degrees will damage the injector/ejector handles on the module.
