Px Series Application Switch Installation and Configuration Guide 3-1
3 Installing the PxM Application
Switch Module
The PxM configuration of the Px series application switch is a BlackDiamond module.
The configuration information and specifications for the BlackDiamond I/O modules
are described in detail in the Extreme Networks Consolidated Hardware Guide, as well as
the module installation and removal procedures. For convenience, the information on
installing and removing modules is repeated here.
To manage the application switch locally, you must connect a management console to
the switch’s Ethernet management port using a serial connection. Do this in the same
way as for the SummitPx1; see “Setting Up Console Communication” on page 2-6.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Installing I/O Modules on page 3-1
• Removing I/O Modules on page 3-2
Installing I/O Modules
You can insert I/O modules at any time, without causing disruption of network
services.
To install an I/O module:
1 Select a slot for the module:
• Slots numbered 1 through 16 in the BlackDiamond 6816
• Slots numbered 1 through 8 in the BlackDiamond 6808
