2-2 204515-C
Chassis Configuration Requirements
Slots in the Passport 8000 Series chassis are numbered from the top down, starting
with 1. In either the Passport 8010 or the Passport 8006 chassis, slots 5 and 6 are
reserved for the Passport 8190SM Switch Management Module. Any of the
Passport 8100 Series I/O modules can be installed in the remaining chassis slots.
Safety and Environmental Precautions
Before you perform any installation or replacement procedure on the switch,
please note the following safe-handling guidelines:
• To prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), handle the switch
chassis and modules only when you, the chassis, and the chassis modules are
properly grounded. Nortel Networks recommends using a grounding wrist
strap.
• When handling modules, do not touch components on the circuit boards;
always handle modules by their edges. Store unused modules in their
protective packaging.
• To maintain proper airflow and cooling, always cover unused module slots
and power supply bays with filler panels.
Note: You must install an I/O module in slot 1 or slot 2 to provide bus master
functions in the switch.
