Attaching the Mid-Mount Brackets

The BlackDiamond 8800 series chassis has attached rack-mounting flanges for a front-mount rack
installation. To install the chassis in a mid-mount position in the rack, attach the optional mid-mount
brackets as described in this section.
CAUTION
The BlackDiamond 8806 chassis weighs almost 65 pounds., and the BlackDiamond 8810 chassis weighs
almost 80 pounds. Proper lifting and moving of the chassis requires two people.
To attach the mid-mount brackets:
1 Set the empty chassis in an upright position on a secure, flat surface.
2 Identify the locations for the mid-mount brackets.
NOTE
The BlackDiamond 8806 chassis has two possible positions for attaching the mid-mount brackets.
3 Match the left and right brackets to the correct side of the chassis.
Each mid-mount bracket is clearly marked for placement on either the left or right side, as viewed
from the front of the chassis.
4 On each side of the chassis, use four of the provided screws to attach the appropriate mid-mount
bracket (see Figure 58
