Installing I/O Module Blanks
Switches are shipped with a reinforcing shipping cover installed over all the I/O module slots. If you
have the older module blanks without thumb levers, see Installing I/O Module Blanks (without thumb
levers) on page 69.
You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver to install a module blank.
After you have installed all the I/O modules for your system configuration, you must install module
blanks in all remaining unoccupied slots.
Caution
All unoccupied slots in a BlackDiamond X series series switch must have module blanks
correctly installed to ensure conformance to FCC requirements as well as to maintain
adequate airflow through the switch.
