Removing a BlackDiamond 8800 Series ModuleCAUTION
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:
1Attach 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.
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 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.
