This chapter describes:
• Configuring I/O Modules on page 53
• I/O Module LEDs on page 57
• Installing I/O Modules on page 58
• Verifying the I/O Module Installation on page 60
• Removing I/O Modules on page 61
NOTE
Read the information in this chapter thoroughly before you attempt to install or remove any
BlackDiamond I/O modules.
BlackDiamond I/O modules consist of a printed circuit board mounted on a metal panel that acts as the
insertion vehicle in a BlackDiamond 10808 switch. The module carrier also includes ejector/injector
levers and captive retaining screws at each end of the module front panel.
For more information about BlackDiamond I/O module specifications, see Appendix C, “Module
Technical Specifications.”
Configuring I/O Modules
No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on
the MSM(s).
When the BlackDiamond 10808 switch is powered on, ExtremeWare generates a default configuration
for any slots that contain I/O modules. The default configuration allows the I/O module ports to
participate in the VLAN named default. The default configuration for the I/O module is not preserved
unless you explicitly save the configuration to nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
You can configure parameters of the I/O module after it is installed or you can preconfigure a slot for a
certain type of module and configuration. The preconfigured information is applied to the module after
it is inserted. If you pre-configure a slot for a specific module type, and then insert a different type of
module, the module reverts to its default configuration.
