Do not attempt to mix modules across Extreme Networks product lines. BlackDiamond 8800 series modules are for use only in a BlackDiamond 8806 or 8810 switch. When a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch is in use, ExtremeXOS software will not recognize a module from a different product line.
When a switch boots with a single MSM (regardless of the slot position), it is selected as the primary ● MSM. If a second MSM is added to the switch after it has been powered up, the added MSM becomes the backup MSM. MSMs that operate as backup MSMs can be inserted and removed without disrupting network services.

Figure 7 shows the MSM-48c. Figure 7: MSM-48c The BlackDiamond 8800 series MSMs have the following features on the front panel: Console port—DB-9 serial port used to connect a terminal and perform local management. ● Management port—A 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port used to connect an Ethernet cable ●...

The chapter describes the power supply units used with the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches. Overview of BlackDiamond 8800 Series Power Supplies The BlackDiamond 8800 series switches can be powered by either AC or DC power supplies (PSUs). AC power supplies in the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches are fully fault tolerant and load-sharing in an N+1 configuration.
Figure 24: Extreme Networks 700/1200 W AC PSU The front panel on each Extreme Networks 700/1200 W AC PSU contains two cooling fans and a handle for insertion and removal of the unit. Airflow enters the front vents on the PSU and exits through the rear vents of the switch.
Power Supply Cords Extreme Networks 700/1200 W AC PSUs are shipped with both 110 V AC and 220 V AC power supply cords. The 110 V AC power supply cord allows a maximum DC output power of 700 W. The 220V AC power supply cord allows a maximum DC output power of 1200 W.
CAUTION The 700/1200 W AC PSU does not have a switch for turning the unit on and off. Remove the plug from the electrical outlet to disconnect power to the 700/1200 W AC PSU. Make sure that this connection is easily accessible.
Figure 25: Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU The front panel on each Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU contains two cooling fans and a handle for insertion and removal of the unit. Airflow enters the front vents of the PSU and exits through the rear vents of the switch.
Power Supply Cords Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU(s) are shipped with both 110 V AC and 220 V AC power supply cords. The 110 V AC power supply cord allows for a maximum DC output power of 600 W. The 220V AC power supply cord allows for a maximum DC output power of 900 W.
Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU for a complete replacement. WARNING! Field operators must not attempt to configure or replace fuses in Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSUs! In the event of failure, immediately return the defective Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU for a complete replacement.
Extreme Networks does not recommended using the 1200 W DC PSU in combination with any Extreme Networks AC PSU in the same BlackDiamond 8800 series system. Extreme Networks recommends that DC and AC PSU units BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
Field operators must not attempt to open the 1200 W DC PSU enclosure for any reason; the PSU does not contain user-serviceable parts. In the event of failure, return the defective 1200 W DC PSU to Extreme Networks for repair or replacement.

Temperature Extreme Networks equipment generates a significant amount of heat. It is essential that you provide a temperature-controlled environment for both performance and safety. Install the equipment only in a temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor area that is free of airborne materials that can conduct electricity.
To ensure proper airflow through a BlackDiamond switch, refer to the following recommendations when you install the switch: BlackDiamond 8800 series switches require a minimum of 1.5 inches (4 cm) around both the left and ● right sides of the chassis from any cabinet wall or other obstruction for proper airflow.
Use electrostatically safe equipment and the ESD-preventive wrist strap that is provided with your ● equipment. All switches have ESD-preventive wrist strap connectors and are shipped with an ESD- preventive wrist strap as shown in BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide Airflow through fan tray ASP045...
Use a rack grounding kit and a ground conductor that is carried back to earth or to another suitable building ground. All Extreme Networks switches are designed with mounting brackets that provide solid metal-to-metal connection to the rack. If you do not use equipment racks, you can attach wiring terminals directly to the mounting brackets for appropriate grounding.
WARNING! The chassis does not have a switch for turning power to the unit on and off. For systems using an AC power supply, power to the chassis is disconnected by removing the wall plug from the electrical outlet. For systems using a DC SSI power supply, power to the chassis can be turned off by lifting the handle on the power supply or by de- energizing the circuit that feeds the power supply, which is usually accomplished by turning off a circuit breaker.
● Radio Frequency Interference ● Cabling Standards Extreme Networks recommends using the Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI) Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD), which is globally recognized as a standard in site planning and cabling. For information, go to: http://www.bicsi.org Cable Labeling and Record Keeping A reliable cable labeling system is essential when planning and installing a network.
Assign a unique block of sequential numbers to the group of cables that run between each pair of ● wiring closets. Assign a unique identification number to each distribution rack. ● Identify all wiring closets by labeling the front panel of your Extreme Networks equipment and ● other hardware. Keep accurate and current cable identification records. ●...

RJ-45 Connector Jackets Use RJ-45 cable with connector jackets that are flush with the connector or that have connectors with a no-snag feature.
● Routing UTP cable near electrical transformers ● In areas or applications where these situations cannot be avoided, use fiber optic cabling or shielded twisted pair cabling (STP). BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide Evaluating and Meeting Cable Requirements...
If a power source fails, it will affect only the switch power supply to which it is connected. If all switch power supplies are connected to a single power source, the entire switch is vulnerable to a power source failure.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device that sits between a power supply (such as a wall outlet) and a device (such as a switch) to prevent outages, sags, surges, and bad harmonics from adversely affecting the performance of the device.
UPS Transition Time Transition time is the time that is necessary for the UPS to transfer from utility power to full-load battery power. For Extreme Networks products, a transition time of less than 20 milliseconds is required for optimum performance.
