Installing I/O Module Blanks
All unoccupied slots in a BlackDiamond X8 series switch must have blank front panels correctly
installed to ensure conformance to FCC requirements as well as to maintain adequate airflow through
the switch.
To install an I/O module blank:
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 (see Figure 57).
