Removing a BlackDiamond 12800 Series Module

This section describes how to remove modules from a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch. BlackDiamond modules are hot-swappable. You do not need to power the system off to remove a module.

You will need the following tools and equipment to remove a BlackDiamond MSM or I/O module:

●ESD-preventive wrist strap

●#2 Phillips screwdriver

To remove a BlackDiamond 12800 series module:

1Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to the ground receptacle on the chassis.

On a BlackDiamond 12804 series chassis, the ground receptacle is at the top left corner. On a BlackDiamond 12802 chassis, the ground receptacle is at the top right corner.

2Unlock the module in one of the following ways:

●On a module without red lines on the screwheads, turn each captive screw counter-clockwise (Figure 67). Verify that the yellow band around the captive screw head of each injector/ejector handle is completely visible (Figure 67). 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 67). Verify that the red line on each captive screw is in a horizontal position (Figure 68). 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.
