Distinguishing a BlackDiamond 12800 Series MSM from an I/O Module

One quick way to distinguish a BlackDiamond 12800 MSM from an I/O module is by the color of the release latch located on each injector/ejector release latch. Orange injector/ejector latches indicate that the module is a BlackDiamond MSM, and green injector/ejector latches indicate that the module is a BlackDiamond I/O module (see Figure 62).

Installing a BlackDiamond 12800 Series Module

You need the following tools and equipment to install a BlackDiamond 12800 series MSM or I/O module:

●ESD-preventive wrist strap

●#2 Phillips screwdriver

●Appropriate type of cable for the module if you are installing an I/O module

CAUTION

The module series number must be the same as the switch series number. For example, install BlackDiamond 1200 series modules only in a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch.

To install a module in a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch:

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

2Select a slot for the module. (See “Module Slot Assignments” on page 101.)

3Remove a blank front panel from a chassis slot, if applicable.
