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 I/O blanks with
thumb levers, seeInstalling I/O Module Blanks on page 90.
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.
