Removing an MSM Option Card
To remove an option card from an 8500-MSM24, MSM-48c or 8900-MSM128 module:
1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist. If the metal end is not already connected,
connect it to the ground receptacle at the top left corner of the chassis.
2 Remove the MSM from the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch as described in “Removing a
BlackDiamond 8000 Series Module” on page 117.
3 At the back of the option card, loosen the spring-loaded captive retaining screws until they pop up
(see Figure 86).
4 At the edge of the module, rotate the hot-swap prevention latch up and hold it out of the way.

5 Using the handle on the option card, pull straight back from the MSM to disconnect the option card
from the connectors on the MSM.
6 Slide the option card out of the MSM and immediately place it into anti-static packaging.
7 If you are installing a replacement option card, install the option card as described in “Installing an
Option Card in the 8500-MSM24, MSM-48c, or 8900-MSM128” on page 130.
If you are not installing a replacement option card, install the option slot cover plate over the option
card slot.
8 Re-install the MSM, as described in “Installing a BlackDiamond 8000 Series Module” on page 111.
