Understanding I/O Modules
The switch has the following I/O modules available:
BDXA-10G48X
BDXA-40G24X
BDXA-40G12X
BDXA-10G48T
BDXB-100G4X
BDXB-100G4X-XL
No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on the
management modules.
When a switch is powered on, the software 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 NVRAM.
You can configure parameters of an I/O module after it is installed, or preconfigure a slot for a certain
type of module and configuration. The preconfigured information is applied to the module after it is
inserted.
Caution
If you preconfigure the I/O module type for a slot and then insert a different type of I/O
module into that slot, EXOS will detect a mismatch and will not power on the module or
generate any kind of default configuration.

specific information related to BlackDiamond X series modules.
BDXA-10G48X I/O Module
