Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 10808 Installation Manual page 62

The BlackDiamond 10K system chassis supports up to six AC power supplies. Each power supply has
its own power socket. When additional power supplies are installed, they provide redundant, load-
shared power to the BlackDiamond 10K series switch. If one of the power supplies fails, other power
supplies provide all power and ensure uninterrupted network operation.
The BlackDiamond 10K series switch fits in standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) racks. You can install the switch
either flush against the back of the rack or in a mid-mount position to give you more access behind the
rack.

Mid-Mount Rack Installation
Grounding the BlackDiamond 10K Series Switch
The BlackDiamond 10K series switch is shipped with a pre-installed fan tray. For your safety, because
of the increased weight of the chassis after components are installed and to prevent damage to the
equipment, Extreme Networks strongly recommends that you install the I/O modules after you mount
the chassis in a rack.
To mount the BlackDiamond 10K series switch into a standard 19-inch (48.26-cm) rack in either the
standard or mid-mount position, you need the following tools, equipment, and resources:
Helper bracket (provided)
A minimum of four appropriate screws to secure the helper bracket (not provided)
# 1 Phillips screwdriver
A retractable knife
An adjustable wrench
A minimum of two people to help install the chassis into the rack
Before you begin unpacking the chassis from the carton, locate the shipping status indicators on the side
of the shipping carton.
Tilt watch indicator
Shock watch indicator
