    A compact flash slot allows you to insert an external compact flash memory card. (See “External Compact Flash Memory Card” on page 14 for more information about Extreme Networks-supported compact flash cards.) Redundant MSM Activity The BlackDiamond 8800 series switches can run with a single MSM installed. When you install an additional MSM, one MSM operates as the primary MSM and the other becomes the backup (secondary) MSM.

  • Page 22: Msm Physical Features

    BlackDiamond 8000 Series Modules Selection of the primary MSM occurs automatically. The following examples describe the selection process: When a switch boots with two MSMs installed, the MSM in the lower-numbered slot becomes the ● primary MSM. In the BlackDiamond 8810 switch this is slot 5; in the BlackDiamond 8806 switch, this is slot 3.

  • Page 54: Extreme Networks 700/1200 W Ac Power Supply

    The AC input connection is located on the switch directly below each installed power supply. NOTE In a BlackDiamond 8806 system, the Extreme Networks 700W/1200 W AC power supply can be used with an Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC power supply in the same chassis.

  • Page 55: Leds

    Power Supply Cords The Extreme Networks 700/1200 W AC power supply can be used with either a 110 V AC or a 220 V AC power supply cord. If you use a 110 V AC power supply cord, the maximum DC output power of the power supply is 700 W.

  • Page 56: Specifications

    Power Supplies for BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Specifications The 700/1200 W AC power supply functions from 90 V to 264 V and 47 Hz to 63 Hz AC Input. Each power supply provides 700 W to the system if the AC input is in the 110 V low-line output power range and 1200 W to the system if the AC input is in the 220 V high-line output power range.

  • Page 57: Extreme Networks 600/900 W Ac Power Supply

    The AC input is located on the switch directly below each installed power supply. NOTE The Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC power supply can be used in combination with an Extreme Networks 700W/1200W AC power supply in the same BlackDiamond 8806 system.

  • Page 58: Leds

    Fuse The Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC power supply line and neutral legs are both fused. Power to the system may still be live if the neutral fuse is open. This is not a field operator replaceable fuse. In the event of failure, immediately return the Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC power supply for a complete replacement.

  • Page 59: Specifications

    To avoid causing an I/O module to be powered off, do not add a 600/900 W AC power supply to an existing BlackDiamond 8806 system running in the configuration listed above. Extreme Networks also recommends that you avoid mixing 220 V AC and 110 V AC inputs when both 600/900 W and 700/1200 W power supplies are present in the same system.

  • Page 60: Extreme Networks 1200 W Dc Power Supply

    Power Supplies for BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Extreme Networks 1200 W DC Power Supply The Extreme Networks 1200 W DC UL-listed accessory power supply unit (Model number 60021/PS 2350) is compatible with the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches. The power supply bay in the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch can accommodate up to six hot-swappable 1200 W DC power supplies.

  • Page 61: Minimum Software Required

    NOTE Extreme Networks does not recommended using the 1200 W DC power supply in combination with any Extreme Networks AC power supply in the same BlackDiamond 8800 series system. Extreme Networks recommends that DC and AC power supply units not be used together in the same BlackDiamond switch.

    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.

  • Page 72: Space Requirements For The Rack

    This will insure good grounding between the chassis, rack, and earth ground. NOTE Because building codes vary worldwide, Extreme Networks strongly recommends that you consult an electrical contractor to ensure proper equipment grounding for your specific installation. Space Requirements for the Rack Provide enough space in front of and behind the switch so that you can service it easily.

    The chapter describes how to remove a BlackDiamond 8800 series chassis from an equipment rack and repack the chassis for shipping back to Extreme Networks. To repack a BlackDiamond 8800 series chassis, use the original shipping crate or box and packing materials.

  • Page 164: Required Tools And Equipment

    1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to the ground receptacle on the chassis front panel. 2 Remove all modules and power supplies from the chassis. Follow correct Extreme Networks procedures for removing components.
  • Page 165 CAUTION Do not use the fan tray handle to lift or maneuver the BlackDiamond 8810 chassis. This handle is not designed to support the weight of the chassis. 7 At each corner, attach a restraining bolt to the shipping bracket, securing the BlackDiamond 8810 chassis to the shipping pallet (see Figure 120).

    2 Remove all modules and power supplies from the BlackDiamond 8806 chassis. Follow correct Extreme Networks procedures for removing components. 3 Using four rack mounting screws, attach the 19-inch support bracket to the equipment rack immediately below the chassis.
  • Page 168 Repacking a BlackDiamond 8800 Series Chassis 7 Set a corner brace at each corner of the chassis, and slide the shipping carton down over the chassis (see Figure 125).

  • Page 169 127). NOTE Nylon straps are optional but are recommended by Extreme Networks for extra security during shipment. The installation of nylon straps requires a crimping tool. If you do not have nylon straps and a crimping tool available to secure the carton, the chassis can be shipped without the straps; however, it is critical that the clip locks be secure before shipment.
