Overview
The G8X Management Switch Module (MSM) for the BlackDiamond 8810 switch holds both the control
plane and the switch fabric for the switch. One MSM is required for switch operation; however, adding
an additional MSM to the chassis increases reliability and throughput.

For full redundancy you can install up to two G8X MSMs in the BlackDiamond 8810 switch. Each G8X
MSM also contains a temperature sensor, nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), and a real-
time clock.
