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 PSU can be used with an Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU in the same chassis.
Page 55: Leds
Power Supply Cords The Extreme Networks 700/1200 W AC PSU(s) 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 PSU is 700 W.
Page 56: Specifications
Power Supply Units for BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Specifications The 700/1200 W AC PSU functions from 90 V to 264 V and 47 Hz to 63 Hz AC Input. Each PSU 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 Psu
The AC input is located on the switch directly below each installed power supply. NOTE The Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU can be used in combination with an Extreme Networks 700W/1200W AC PSU in the same BlackDiamond 8806 system.

Page 59: Specifications
Combining Different AC PSU Models When 600/900 W AC PSUs and 700/1200 W AC PSUs are combined in the same BlackDiamond 8806 chassis and are powered on, all PSUs will be budgeted down to the lower powered 600/900 W AC output values to avoid PSU shutdown due to over-current.

Site Preparation Meeting Site Requirements This section describes requirements to consider when preparing your installation site, including: Operating Environment Requirements ● Rack Specifications and Recommendations ● Operating Environment Requirements Verify that your site meets all environmental and safety requirements. Virtually all areas of the United States are regulated by building codes and standards. During the early planning stages of installing or modifying your LAN, it is important that you develop a thorough understanding of the regulations that pertain to your location and industry.
Page 67: Wiring Closet Considerations
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.

Page 70: Rack Specifications And Recommendations
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 71: 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.
Page 72: Evaluating And Meeting Cable Requirements
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. ●...
