Installing I/O Module Blanks (without thumb levers)
Some of the older BDX chassis were shipped with module blanks without thumb levers. Use the
following procedure if you have these older module blanks. If you have the newer module blanks with
thumb levers, see Installing I/O Module Blanks on page 67.
You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver to install a module blank without thumb levers.
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.
1 Check the condition of the EMI gaskets along the front panel edges of the blank, and confirm that
the gaskets are not damaged.
2 Align the module blank with the card guides for the open slot on the chassis.
