NOTE

Read the information in this chapter thoroughly before you attempt to install or remove BlackDiamond 12800 series MSM or I/O module.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to mix modules across Extreme Networks product lines. Blackdiamond 12800 series modules are for use only in a BlackDiamond 12804 or 12802 switch. When a BlackDiamond switch is in use, ExtremeXOS software will not recognize a module from a different product line.

Module Slot Assignments

The specific slot locations for I/O modules and MSMs in the chassis are as follows:

BlackDiamond 12804 switch

Slots 1, 2, 5, and 6 must have I/O modules.

slots 3/A and 4/B must have MSMs.

BlackDiamond 12802 switch

Slots 1 and 2 (top and bottom) must have I/O modules.

Slot MSM (middle) must have an MSM.

Chassis slots will only operate their designated module type.

In the BlackDiamond 12802 switch, the slot for the MSM is labeled MSM. The ExtremeXOS software refers to this MSM as MSM-A in all related displays and command output.
