I/O Module Blanks

BlackDiamond X8 switches are shipped with a reinforcement shipping cover installed over all the I/O

module slots. 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 X8 series switch must have module blanks correctly installed to

ensure conformance to FCC requirements as well as to maintain adequate airflow through the switch.

You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver to install a module blank.
