The BlackDiamond 6800 switch provides full-duplex support for all ports. Full-duplex allows frames to be transmitted and received simultaneously and, in effect, doubles the bandwidth available on a link. All ports on the BlackDiamond 6800 switch autonegotiate for half- or full-duplex operation. Gigabit Ethernet and 100BASE-FX ports operate in full-duplex mode, only.

• When the BlackDiamond 6800 switch boots with both MSM64i modules already installed, the MSM64i in Slot A becomes the master. • When the BlackDiamond 6800 switch boots with a single MSM64i (regardless of the slot), it is selected as the master. If another MSM64i is added to the switch while powered on, the added MSM64i becomes the slave.

No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on the MSM64i module(s). When the BlackDiamond 6800 switch is powered on, ExtremeWare generates a default configuration for any slots that are occupied with I/O modules. The default configuration allows the I/O module ports to participate in the VLAN named default.

• Temperature operating limits of 0° to 40° C are not exceeded. NSTALLING THE LACK The BlackDiamond 6800 switch can be mounted in a rack. The chassis is 15U high and fits in most standard 19-inch racks. The BlackDiamond 6800 chassis is shipped empty; you must install the power supply and modules after rack-mounting the empty chassis.
6800 S NSTALLING THE LACK IAMOND WITCH BDbrackt Figure 2-1: Rack-mount helper bracket 2 Insert the empty chassis into the 19-inch rack and place it on the helper bracket. 3 Secure the empty chassis with eight suitable screws, as shown in Figure 2-2.
NSTALLATION AND ETUP Figure 2-2: BlackDiamond 6800 chassis mounted in rack 4 Once the chassis is secured, remove the helper bracket. 5 Install the first power supply in an empty power supply bay by following these steps: a Ensure that the power supply is right side up, and the locking handle is open.

To turn on power to the system, connect the AC power cable to the power supply and then to the wall outlet. If you have installed two power supplies, connect both power cables. Figure 2-5 shows the BlackDiamond 6800 power cable and plug. LACK...
HECKING THE NSTALLATION After turning on power to the BlackDiamond 6800 switch, each MSM64i performs a power-on self test (POST) of its circuitry. The LED labeled “SYS” on the MSM64i blinks amber during the POST. Once the MSM64i is operational, each I/O module performs a POST.
The terminal connected to the console port on the MSM64i must be configured with the same settings. This procedure will be described in the documentation supplied with the terminal. Appropriate cables are available from your local supplier. To make your own cables, pinouts for a DB-9 male console connector are described in Table 2-1: Console Connector Pinouts Function...
Figure 2-7: PC-AT serial null-modem cable pinouts OGGING N FOR THE After the BlackDiamond 6800 switch has completed the POST, it is operational. Once operational, you can log in to the switch and configure an IP address for the default VLAN (named default).

To remove and replace a module card, follow these steps: 1 Prior to installing module cards into the BlackDiamond 6800 chassis, put on the ESD wrist strap that is provided with the chassis, and connect the metal end to the ground receptacle located on the top-left corner of the BlackDiamond 6800 front panel.
EMOVING AND BlackDiamond 6800 power supplies are hot-swappable. You can add a second power supply without powering off the chassis. If you have two power supplies installed, you can remove one of them without powering off the chassis. To remove and replace a power supply, follow these steps: 1 Remove the power supply cord from the power supply and retention clip.
EPLACING THE The BlackDiamond 6800 fan tray is hot-swappable. You do not need to turn off power to the BlackDiamond 6800 switch to replace the fan tray. Access to the fan tray is from the rear of the BlackDiamond 6800 chassis.
