For information about installing the BlackDiamond switches, see

Chapter 2, “Installing the

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Chassis.”

Overview of the BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches

The BlackDiamond switches are chassis-based, Ethernet service core switches designed for core applications.

The features of these switches include:

● Hot-swappable I/O modules that include Gigabit Ethernet copper ports (10/100/1000) and Gigabit

Ethernet fiber ports (SFP), or 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (SFP+ or XFP)

Management Switch Fabric Modules (MSMs) that provide the active switching fabric and CPU control subsystem

Redundant, load-sharing, hot-swappable power supplies

Field-replaceable, hot-swappable fan trays

Auto-negotiation for half-duplex or full-duplex operation on 10/100/1000 Mbps ports

Load sharing on multiple ports

The BlackDiamond 8800 series switches include two chassis models:

● BlackDiamond 8806 chassis, with slots for installing one or two management modules and up to five

I/O modules

● BlackDiamond 8810 chassis, with slots for installing one or two management modules and up to nine I/O modules

Three series of modules are available for the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches:

● 8500 series

Entry-level modules for BlackDiamond switches

8800 series

Provides high port density and scalability for mid-sized networks

8900 series

Provides greater port density and increased backplane bandwidth for large networks

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide 13

14

About the BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches

The specific capabilities of the switch are determined by the module series installed in the chassis. For

more information about individual I/O modules and management modules (MSMs), see Chapter 3

.

For more information about configuring a BlackDiamond switch, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide.

Full-Duplex Support

Extreme Networks switches provide full-duplex support for all ports. Full-duplex support means that frames can be transmitted and received simultaneously, effectively doubling the bandwidth available on a link. Most ports on an Extreme Networks switch will auto-negotiate duplex operation in the default configuration. Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports operate only in full-duplex mode in accordance with technical standards.

Management Ports

Each BlackDiamond management switch fabric module (MSM) has a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet management port. This port allows you to communicate directly with the central processing unit (CPU) of the switch. You can plug an Ethernet cable directly from your laptop into the management port for direct access into the switch. This access allows you to view and locally manage the switch configurations.

External Compact Flash Memory Card

All MSMs in the BlackDiamond 8800 series include a compact flash slot next to the console port. This slot accepts a compact flash memory card, which can be used to download a new version of

ExtremeXOS and for other functions, including capturing debug information and core dump files. See the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide for more information regarding the use of the external compact flash memory card.

The external compact flash slot supports third-party compact flash cards.

NOTE

You must use an industrial-grade compact flash card in the external compact flash slot of the MSM.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

CAUTION

Do not attempt to combine modules from the BlackDiamond 8800 series and BlackDiamond 12800 series product lines. When a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch is running, ExtremeXOS software will not recognize an installed

BlackDiamond 12800 series module.

Management Switch Modules (MSM)

The following MSMs are available for the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches:

● 8500-MSM24

● 8800 series MSMs

■ MSM-G8X

MSM-48

MSM-48c

8900-MSM128 ●

The MSMs provide the active switching fabric and CPU control subsystem for the switch. One MSM is required for switch operation; however, adding a second MSM to the chassis increases reliability and throughput.

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. The primary MSM is responsible for upper-layer protocol processing and system management functions. Packet handling is distributed among the CPUs of all installed MSMs.

When you save the switch configuration, it is saved to all MSMs.

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.

When a switch boots with a single MSM (regardless of the slot position), it is selected as the primary

MSM.

If a second MSM is added to the switch after it has been powered up, the added MSM becomes the backup MSM. MSMs that operate as backup MSMs can be inserted and removed without disrupting network services.

If you remove the primary MSM while the switch is operating, the backup MSM performs a soft reset and then becomes the primary MSM.

For example, in a BlackDiamond 8810 switch with a primary MSM in slot 5 and a backup MSM in slot 6, if you remove the primary MSM from slot 5, the backup MSM in slot 6 becomes the primary

MSM.

The BlackDiamond 8000 series MSMs have the following features on the front panel:

● Console port—DB-9 serial port used to connect a terminal and perform local management.

Management port—A 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port used to connect an Ethernet cable directly from your laptop to the switch to view and locally manage the switch configurations. This port can also be used to connect the system into a parallel management network for administration.

A button—Allows you to select the alternate BootROM image when you power on the module. To use the alternate BootROM image, you must hold the A button while pressing the R button simultaneously.

D button—Allows you to force a system dump that dumps the debug information into NVRAM.

This information is available on the next reboot. No core file is created.

R button—Allows you to reset the MSM without removing the module from the chassis.

Compact flash slot

In addition, the MSM-G8X has eight SFP data ports. These data ports operate the same as the ports on the G24X I/O module. (See

“G24X I/O Module” on page 28 for more information about these ports.)

The eight data ports are integrated into the MSM and managed by a separate I/O processor, which retains control of the eight Ethernet ports on the MSM during a failover. The backup MSM can take control of the ports.

BlackDiamond 8000 Series Modules

The 8500-MSM24, MSM-48c and 8900-MSM128 modules have a slot for one of the following option cards:

● S-G8Xc—Adds eight 1-gigabit SFP data ports to the MSM. These data ports operate the same as the ports on the G24Xc I/O module. (See

“G24Xc I/O Module” on page 40

for more information.)

● S-10G1Xc—Adds one 10-gigabit XFP data port to the MSM. This data port operates the same as the

ports on the 10G4Xc I/O module. (See “10G4Xc I/O Module” on page 38

for more information.)

Different MSM models have different memory and processing capacity. For details of feature support in the MSMs, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.

NOTE

See the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide for more information about numbering conventions for the modules and ports, as well as configuration and display information.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

I/O Modules

The following series of I/O modules are available for the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches:

● BlackDiamond 8500 series I/O modules (see

page 26 )

● BlackDiamond 8800 series I/O modules:

BlackDiamond 8800 original series I/O modules (see page 28 )

BlackDiamond 8800 a-series I/O modules (see page 32 )

BlackDiamond 8800 c-series I/O modules (see page 36 )

■ BlackDiamond 8800 e-series I/O modules (see

page 42 )

BlackDiamond 8900 series I/O modules (see page 45 )

No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on the MSMs.

When a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch is powered on, the software generates a default configuration for any slots that contain I/O modules. The default configuration allows the I/O module ports to participate in the VLAN named default. The default configuration for the I/O module is not preserved unless you explicitly save the configuration to NVRAM.

You can configure parameters of an I/O module after it is installed, or preconfigure a slot for a certain type of module and configuration. The preconfigured information is applied to the module after it is inserted. If you preconfigure a slot for a specific module type and then insert a different type of module, the inserted module does not become operational because of the mismatch. If this situation occurs, the show slot command shows the module state as mismatch .

NOTE

See the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide for feature-specific information related to BlackDiamond 8000 series modules.

CAUTION

When BlackDiamond I/O modules from different series (8500 series; 8800 original series, a-series, c-series, and e-series; or 8900 series) are installed in the same BlackDiamond 8800 series chassis, limitations on feature sets

may occur. See the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide for more

information about these limitations.

Power Supply Units for BlackDiamond 8800

Series Switches

The chapter describes the power supply units used with the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches and includes the following sections:

Overview of BlackDiamond 8800 Series Power Supplies on page 53

Extreme Networks 700/1200 W AC PSU on page 54

Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU on page 57

Combining Different AC PSU Models on page 59

Extreme Networks 1200 W DC PSU on page 60

Overview of BlackDiamond 8800 Series Power Supplies

The BlackDiamond 8800 series switches can be powered by either AC or DC power supplies (PSUs).

AC power supplies in the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches are fully fault tolerant and load-sharing in an N+1 configuration. For a switch using DC power supplies in an N+N configuration, each group of power supplies can provide A/B feed redundancy for the system. After the system is properly configured, if one PSU fails, the others will provide sufficient power to operate a fully loaded switch.

The BlackDiamond power supply units are intended for use in specific BlackDiamond switches only.

Table 13 lists the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches and their compatible power supply units.

The front panel on each 700/1200 W AC PSU provides a handle for insertion and removal of the unit.

Two cooling fans draw air in through the front vents on the PSU and exhaust the air through the rear vents of the switch. Airflow through the PSU is independent from the airflow through the rest of the switch.

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

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. If you use a 220V AC power supply cord the maximum DC output power of the PSU is 1200 W.

An AC power supply cord is not shipped with the 700/1200 W AC PSU. To purchase an AC power cord, contact your local Extreme Networks Channel Account Manager or Sales Manager, or purchase a cord from your local supplier. All power supply cords must meet the requirements listed in

“Selecting

Power Supply Cords” on page 172 .

Fuse

The Extreme Networks 700/1200 W AC PSU line and neutral legs are both fused. Power to the switch 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 700/1200 W AC PSU for a complete replacement.

WARNING!

Field operators must not attempt to configure or replace fuses in Extreme Networks 700/1200 W AC PSUs! In the event of failure, immediately return the defective Extreme Networks 700/1200 W AC PSU for a complete replacement.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide 55

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.

More installed PSUs are needed to support the load if the low-line power range is used to power the switch. The software determines the maximum available power required for the switch and enables the modules accordingly.

CAUTION

The 700/1200 W AC PSU does not have a switch for turning the unit on and off. Remove the plug from the electrical outlet to disconnect power to the 700/1200 W AC PSU. Make sure that this connection is easily accessible.

Make sure that the 700/1200 W AC PSU circuit is not overloaded. Use proper over-current protection, such as a circuit-breaker, to prevent over-current conditions.

Power Supply Cords

If you use a 110 V AC power supply cord, the maximum DC output power of the PSU is 600 W. If you use a 220V AC power supply cord the maximum DC output power of the PSU is 900 W.

An AC power supply cord is not shipped with the 600/900 W AC PSU. To purchase an AC power cord, contact your local Extreme Networks Channel Account Manager or Sales Manager, or purchase a cord

from your local supplier. All power supply cords must meet the requirements listed in “Selecting Power

Supply Cords” on page 172

.

CAUTION

The 600/900 W AC PSU does not have a switch for turning the unit on and off. Remove the plug from the electrical outlet to disconnect power to the 600/900 W AC PSU. Make sure that this connection is easily accessible.

Make sure that the 600/900 W AC PSU circuit is not overloaded. Use proper over-current protection, such as a circuit-breaker, to prevent over-current conditions.

Fuse

The Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU 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 PSU for a complete replacement.

WARNING!

Field operators must not attempt to configure or replace fuses in Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSUs! In the event of failure, immediately return the defective Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU for a complete replacement.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Specifications

The 600/900 W AC PSU functions from 90 V to 264 V and 47 Hz to 63 Hz AC Input. Each PSU provides

600 W to the system if the AC input is in the 110 V low-line output power range and 900 W to the system if the AC input is in the 220 V high-line output power range.

More installed PSUs are needed to support the load if the low-line power range is used to power the switch. The software determines the maximum available power required for the switch and enables the modules accordingly.

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. ExtremeXOS optimizes total system power, avoiding the possibility of over-current, by deciding whether to budget down PSUs with 220 V AC inputs when PSUs with 110 V AC inputs are present, or to keep 110 V AC PSUs disabled.

CAUTION

Even though this process avoids the possibility of over-current, an I/O module may be powered off if a 600/900 W

AC PSU is added to a BlackDiamond 8806 system running in the following configuration:

The system is powered by three 700/1200 W AC PSUs at 220 V AC.

The system includes four or more PoE I/O modules with a PoE power requirement that falls between 2391 W and 2438 W of inline power.

To avoid causing an I/O module to be powered off, do not add a 600/900 W AC PSU 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 PSUs are present in the same system. When a combination of 220 V AC and 110 V AC inputs is applied, ExtremeXOS is designed to optimize total chassis power for each individual PSU type but not for a mixture of PSU types.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Wiring Closet Considerations

Be aware of the following recommendations for your wiring closet:

Be sure that your system is easily accessible for installation and service. See “Rack Specifications and

Recommendations” on page 70 for information.

Use appropriate AC or DC power, power distribution, and grounding for your specific installation.

Use a vinyl floor covering in your wiring closet. (Concrete floors accumulate dust, and carpets can cause static electricity.)

Prevent unauthorized access to wiring closets by providing door locks. Install the equipment in a secured, enclosed, and restricted access location, ensuring that only qualified service personnel have access to the equipment.

Provide adequate overhead lighting for easy maintenance.

Be sure that each wiring closet has a suitable ground. All distribution racks and equipment installed in the closet should be grounded.

Be sure that all system environmental requirements are met, such as ambient temperature and humidity.

NOTE

Extreme Networks recommends that you consult an electrical contractor for commercial building and wiring specifications.

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. Too much humidity can cause a fire. Too little humidity can produce electrical shock and fire.

Follow these general thermal recommendations for your wiring closet:

Be sure that the ventilation in the wiring closet is adequate to maintain a temperature below 104° F

(40° C).

Install a reliable air conditioning and ventilation system.

Keep the ventilation in the wiring closet running during non-business hours; otherwise, the equipment can overheat.

Maintain an ambient operating temperature of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C).

Maintain a storage temperature of -40° to 158° F (-40° to 70° C).

NOTE

As with all electrical equipment, Extreme Networks product lifetimes degrade with increased temperature. If possible, temperatures should be kept at approximately 78 ° F (25° C) or lower.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide 67

68

Site Preparation

Humidity

To maximize equipment life, keep operating humidity between 50% and 70% relative humidity (noncondensing) during typical operation. The equipment can operate between 10% and 95% relative humidity (non-condensing) for short intervals.

Chassis Spacing Requirements

Extreme Networks recommends placing no more than three BlackDiamond chassis next to each other because of to chassis-to-chassis heating. Use the following spacing guidelines when you install your

BlackDiamond 8800 series switch:

Leave a minimum of one empty 19-inch rack between two sets of three adjacent BlackDiamond switches. or

Place patch panels between two sets of three adjacent BlackDiamond switches. A patch panel does not require any power and does not generate any heat.

NOTE

Up to five adjacent switches will continue to function without safety concerns. However, product lifetime may degrade with continued exposure to high temperatures in close proximity, and long term reliability may be compromised.

Chassis Airflow Requirements

To ensure proper airflow through a BlackDiamond switch, refer to the following recommendations when you install the switch:

● BlackDiamond 8800 series switches require a minimum of 1.5 inches (4 cm) around both the left and right sides of the chassis from any cabinet wall or other obstruction for proper airflow.

● Air temperature measured approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the fan inlet should be less than

104 °F (40 °C).

In the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches, air moves through the power supplies independently of the airflow through the modules, as shown in

Figure 37

.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Figure 37: Airflow Through the BlackDiamond 8810 Chassis

Airflow through fan tray

ASP045

Electrostatic Discharge

Your system must be protected from static electricity or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Take the following measures to ensure optimum system performance:

Remove materials that can cause electrostatic generation (such as synthetic resins) from the wiring closet. Check the appropriateness of floor mats and flooring.

Connect metal chassis, conduit, and other metals to ground using dedicated grounding lines.

● Use electrostatically safe equipment and the ESD-preventive wrist strap that is provided with your equipment. All switches have ESD-preventive wrist strap connectors and are shipped with an ESDpreventive wrist strap as shown in

Figure 38 .

Site Preparation

Rack Specifications and Recommendations

Racks should conform to conventional standards. In the United States, use EIA Standard RS-310C:

Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment. In countries other than the United States, use IEC Standard

297. In addition, verify that your rack meets the basic mechanical, space, and earthquake requirements that are described in this section.

Mechanical Recommendations for the Rack

Use equipment racks that meet the following mechanical recommendations:

● Use an open style, 19-inch rack to facilitate easy maintenance and to provide proper ventilation.

Use a rack made of steel or aluminum.

The rack should use the universal mounting rail hole pattern that is identified in IEC Standard 297.

The rack should have designated earth grounding connections (typically on the base).

The rack must meet earthquake safety requirements equal to that of the installed chassis.

The mounting holes should be flush with the rails to accommodate the chassis.

The rack should support approximately 600 pounds (272 kilograms).

Protective Grounding for the Rack

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. Extreme Networks switches have grounding terminals that are mounted on the back of the chassis.

At a minimum, follow these guidelines to ground equipment racks to the earth ground:

● CAD weld appropriate wire terminals to building I-beams or earth ground rods.

● Use the appropriate chassis grounding wire for your system, which is dependant upon the available input current to the power supply.

■ For AC systems using a 20A breaker per PSU (SSI AC), the chassis ground can be as small as

14 AWG. The power cable ground should be the same size as the primary.

For DC systems using a 15A breaker per PSU (Summit X450a-48tDC switch), the chassis ground can be as small as 14 AWG. The power cable ground should be the same size as the primary.

For DC systems using a 40A breaker per PSU (SSI DC), the chassis ground can be as small as

10 AWG. The power cable ground should be the same size as the primary.

NOTE

For complete details on power supplies and power supply cords, refer to the following: Chapter 4, “Power Supply

Units for BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches,”

and “Selecting Power Supply Cords” on page 172 in

Appendix

A, “Safety Information.” Drill and tap wire terminals to equipment racks.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Position the earth ground as close to the equipment rack as possible to maintain the shortest wiring distance possible.

Use a ground impedance tester or micro-ohm meter to test the quality of earth ground connection at the chassis. 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. Allow a minimum of 48 inches (122 cm) in front of the rack and 24 inches (61 cm) behind the rack. When using a relay (two-post) rack, provide a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) of space behind the mounted equipment.

Extra room on each side is optional.

Securing the Rack

The rack should be attached to the wiring closet floor with 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) lag screws or equivalent hardware. The floor under the rack should be level within 3/16-inch (5 mm). Use a floor-leveling cement compound if necessary or bolt the racks to the floor as shown in

Figure 39

.

Radio Frequency Interference

Cabling Standards

Extreme Networks recommends using the Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI)

Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD), which is globally recognized as a standard in site planning and cabling. For information, go to: http://www.bicsi.org

Cable Labeling and Record Keeping

A reliable cable labeling system is essential when planning and installing a network. Maintaining accurate records helps you to:

Relocate devices easily.

Make changes quickly.

Isolate faults in the distribution system.

Locate the opposite end of any cable.

Know the types of network devices that your cabling infrastructure can support.

Consider the following recommendations when setting up a cable labeling system suitable for your installation:

● Identify cables by securely attaching a label to all cable ends.

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.

Post records near each distribution rack. Include the following cable drop information:

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Installing Cable

Consider the following recommendations when you connect cable to your network equipment:

● Examine cable for cuts, bends, and nicks.

Support cable using a cable manager that is mounted above connectors to avoid unnecessary weight on the cable bundles.

Use cable managers to route cable bundles to the left and right of the network equipment to maximize accessibility to the connectors.

Provide enough slack, approximately 2 to 3 inches (5.08 to 7.62 cm), to provide proper strain relief as shown in

Figure 42

.

Bundle cable using velcro straps to avoid injuring cables.

If you build your own cable, be sure that cable is properly crimped.

When installing a patch panel using twisted pair wiring, untwist no more than 1 inch (2.54 cm) of the cable to avoid radio frequency (RF) interference.

Discharge the RJ-45 Ethernet cable before plugging it into a port on the switch.

Use plenum-rated cable when it is necessary for safety and fire rating requirements. Consult your local building codes to determine when it is appropriate to use plenum-rated cable, or refer to IEC standard 850.

Keep all ports and connectors free of dust.

CAUTION

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable can build up ESD charges when being pulled into a new installation. Before connecting any category 5 UTP cable to the switch, discharge ESD from the cable by plugging the RJ-45 connector into a LAN Static Discharge device or use an equivalent method.

Adequate slack, and bend radius

SPG_008

Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cable must be handled carefully during installation. Every cable has a minimum bend radius, for example, and fibers will be damaged if the cables are bent too sharply. It is also important not to stretch the cable during installation. We recommend that the bend radius for fiber optic cable equal 2 inches (5.08 cm) minimum for each 90 degree turn as shown in

Figure 43

.

NOTE

Kinks and sharp bends can destroy or impair the cable’s ability to convey light pulses accurately from one end of the cable to the other. Use care in dressing the optical fiber cables: provide satisfactory strain relief to support the cable and maintain an adequate bend radius at all cable turns, particularly where the cable connects to the I/O module.

Radio Frequency Interference

If you use UTP cabling in an installation, take precautions to avoid RF interference. RF interference can cause degradation of signal quality, and, in an Ethernet network environment, can cause excessive collisions, loss of link status, or other physical layer problems that can lead to poor performance or loss of communication.

To prevent RF interference, avoid the following situations:

● Attaching UTP cable to AC power cables

Routing UTP cable near antennas, such as an amateur radio antenna

Routing UTP cable near equipment that could exhibit RF interference, such as ARC welding equipment

Routing UTP cable near electrical motors that contain coils

Routing UTP cable near air conditioner units

Routing UTP cable near electrical transformers

In areas or applications where these situations cannot be avoided, use fiber optic cabling or shielded twisted pair cabling (STP).

Meeting Power Requirements

This section describes power requirements, including:

PoE Devices

Power Supply Requirements

AC Power Cord Requirements

Uninterruptible Power Supply Requirements

PoE Devices

When connecting power over Ethernet (PoE) devices to a PoE switch, all connections between the PoE device and the switch must remain within the same building and must use a low-voltage power distribution system per IEEE 802.3af.

Power Supply Requirements

Follow these recommendations when you plan power supply connections for your Extreme Networks equipment:

● Place the equipment in an area that accommodates the power consumption and component heat dissipation specifications.

Be sure that your power supply meets the site DC power or AC power requirements of the network equipment.

When you connect power to installed equipment, do not make this connection through an extension cord or power strip.

If your switch includes more than one power supply, connect each power supply to different, independent power sources.

If a power source fails, it will affect only the power supply to which it is connected. If all switch power supplies are connected to a single power source, the entire switch is vulnerable to a power source failure.

In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, Extreme Networks recommends that you plug your system into a surge suppressor.

For power specifications of the BlackDiamond power supplies, see

Appendix B, “Technical

Specifications.”

WARNING!

The chassis does not have a switch for turning power to the unit on and off. For systems using an AC power supply, power to the chassis is disconnected by removing the wall plug from the electrical outlet. For systems using a DC

SSI power supply, power to the chassis can be turned off by lifting the handle on the power supply or by deenergizing the circuit that feeds the power supply, which is usually accomplished by turning off a circuit breaker.

AC power input cords are not provided with BlackDiamond power supplies. To purchase a power cord for your product and for your specific country, contact your local Extreme Networks Channel Account

Manager or Sales Manager, or purchase a cord from your local supplier.

Make sure that the power cord you use is certified for the country of end use and suitable for the device. Check your local electrical codes and regulatory agencies for power cable requirements.

The power cord must meet the requirements listed in

“Selecting Power Supply Cords” on page 172

.

NOTE

When using multiple power supplies, make sure that each AC power supply attaches to an independent power source.

Uninterruptible Power Supply Requirements

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device that sits between a power supply (such as a wall outlet) and a device (such as a switch) to prevent outages, sags, surges, and bad harmonics from adversely affecting the performance of the device.

A UPS traditionally can perform the following functions:

● Absorb relatively small power surges.

Smooth out noisy power sources.

Continue to provide power to equipment during line sags.

Provide power for some time after a blackout has occurred.

In addition, some UPS or UPS plus software combinations provide the following functions:

● Automatically shut down equipment during long power outages.

Monitor and log power supply status.

Display the voltage (current draw) of the equipment.

Restart equipment after a long power outage.

Display the voltage currently on the line.

Provide alarms on certain error conditions.

Provide short circuit protection.

Selecting a UPS

To determine UPS requirements for your switch, answer these questions:

● What are the amperage requirements?

What is the longest potential time period that the UPS would be required to supply backup power?

Where will the UPS be installed?

What is the maximum transition time that your installation will allow?

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide 79

80

Site Preparation

NOTE

Extreme Networks recommends that you use a UPS that provides online protection.

Calculating Volt-Amperage Requirements

To determine the minimum volt-amperage requirements for your UPS:

1 Locate the voltage and amperage requirements for each piece of equipment. These numbers are usually located on a sticker on the back or bottom of your equipment.

2 Multiply the numbers together to get Volt-Amps (VA):

VA = Volts x Amperes

3 Add together the VA from all the pieces of equipment to find the total VA requirement.

To determine the minimum volt-amperage requirements for your UPS, we recommend that you add

30% to the total.

UPS Transition Time

Transition time is the time that is necessary for the UPS to transfer from utility power to full-load battery power. For Extreme Networks products, a transition time of less than 20 milliseconds is required for optimum performance.

Applicable Industry Standards

For more information, see the following ANSI/TIA/EIA standards:

● ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A—discusses the six subsystems of a structured cabling system.

ANSI/TIA/EIA-569-A—discusses design considerations.

Installing an Extreme Networks AC PSU on page 100

Installing an Extreme Networks 1200 W DC PSU on page 104

The chapter describes how to install and remove each power supply model used with the

BlackDiamond 8800 series switches.

Safety

Only trained service personnel should perform service to Extreme Networks switches and their components. Trained service personnel have read all related installation manuals, have the technical training and experience necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task, and are aware of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other persons.

Before installing an Extreme Networks PSU into your network:

Read the latest installation and safety information provided in this chapter and in Appendix

A, “Safety Information.”

● See

Appendix A, “Safety Information”

for additional information regarding regulatory compliance certifications.

NOTE

For central DC power connections, the 1200 W DC PSU is intended to be installed only in restricted access locations (dedicated equipment rooms, equipment closets, or the like) in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA-70. All wiring methods involving the DC input cable assembly must be performed according to the relevant articles of the National Electrical Code.

CAUTION

Building codes vary worldwide; therefore, Extreme Networks strongly recommends that you consult an electrical contractor to ensure proper equipment grounding and power distribution for your specific installation.

WARNING!

Field operators must not attempt to open the PSU enclosure for any reason; the PSU does not contain user-serviceable parts. In the event of failure, return the defective PSU to Extreme Networks for repair or replacement.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide 97

98

Installing Power Supply Units in the BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches

WARNING!

Extreme Networks AC PSUs do not have switches for turning the unit on and off. Remove the wall plug from the electrical outlet to disconnect the power to an Extreme Networks AC PSU. Make sure that this connection is easily accessible.

When the PSU is outside the chassis (not installed), do not plug the PSU into an electrical outlet. Plugging an uninstalled AC PSU into an electrical outlet exposes you to a hazardous energy and is a potential fire hazard.

WARNING!

Extreme Networks DC PSUs do not have switches for turning the unit on and off. Make sure that the DC circuit is de-energized before connecting or disconnecting the DC power cord at the DC power socket on an Extreme Networks

DC PSU.

PSU Compatibility

The BlackDiamond power supply units are intended for use in specific BlackDiamond switches.

Table 18 lists the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches and their compatible power supply units.

Compatibility Notes

The 700/1200 W AC PSU and the 600/900 W AC PSU can be used together in the same BlackDiamond 8806 system only.

Extreme Networks does not recommended using the

600/900 W AC PSU or the 700/1200 W AC PSU in combination with a 1200W DC PSU.

Extreme Networks does not recommended using the

700/1200 W AC PSU in combination with a

1200W DC PSU.

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.

ExtremeXOS optimizes total system power, avoiding the possibility of over-current, by deciding whether to budget down PSUs with 220 V AC inputs when PSUs with 110 V AC inputs are present, or to keep 110 V AC PSUs disabled.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

CAUTION

Even though this process avoids the possibility of over-current, an I/O module may be powered off if a 600/900 W

AC PSU is added to a BlackDiamond 8806 system running in the following configuration:

The system is powered by three 700/1200 W AC PSUs at 220 V AC.

The system includes four or more PoE I/O modules with a PoE power requirement that falls between 2391 W and 2438 W of inline power.

To avoid causing an I/O module to be powered off, do not add a 600/900 W AC PSU 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 PSUs are present in the same system. When a combination of 220 V AC and 110 V AC inputs is applied, ExtremeXOS is designed to optimize total chassis power for each individual PSU type but not for a mixture of PSU types.

NOTE

Extreme Networks does not recommended using the 1200 W DC PSU in combination with any Extreme Networks

AC PSU in the same BlackDiamond 8800 series system. Extreme Networks recommends that DC and AC PSU units not be used together in the same BlackDiamond switch.

Minimum Software Requirements

The Extreme Networks PSUs have the following minimum software requirements:

● 600/900 W AC PSU

For the system to recognize a 600/900 W AC PSU, the MSM installed in your BlackDiamond 8806 switch requires ExtremeXOS version 11.6.1 (or later). In ExtremeXOS releases 11.3.4, 11.4.2, and

11.5.1, the 600/900 W AC PSU is disabled on all chassis. In ExtremeXOS releases earlier than those, the software does not recognize the 600/900 W AC PSU and the PSU will not be budgeted properly, possibly resulting in PSU shutdown and/or chassis reboot.

700/1200 W AC PSU

The 700/1200 W AC PSU is supported by all versions of ExtremeXOS software.

1200 W DC PSU

For the system to recognize the 1200 W DC PSU, the MSM in your BlackDiamond 8800 series switch must be running ExtremeXOS version 11.3 or later.

Power Supply Cords for AC Power Supplies

The AC PSUs used with the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches can use either 110 V AC or 220 V AC power supply cords.

Table 19 shows the maximum DC power output allowed by these power cords

when used with each AC power supply.

Power supply cords are not shipped with the AC PSUs. To purchase an AC power cord, contact your local Extreme Networks Channel Account Manager or Sales Manager, or purchase a cord from your

local supplier. The power cord must meet the requirements listed in “Selecting Power Supply Cords” on page 172

Each 1200 W DC PSU must be powered by a 50 A dedicated power source that delivers -40 to -72 VDC of constant power. Power distribution to the 1200 W DC PSU shall be provided using the -48 VDC harness provided. Power to the 1200 W DC PSU can be from either a 50 A UL-approved overcurrent

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

protection breaker or an SELV- approved power source in accordance with IEC 60950-1 utilizing 50 A overcurrent protection.

The input DC cable has an input connector on one end and precut wire on the other end that goes to the DC power source. The input connector has a locking mechanism that locks onto the DC PSU to prevent accidental removal of the input DC cable.

If necessary, use appropriate termination lugs for 8 AWG (10 mm 2 ) copper-stranded wire on the ends of the cable to connect to the DC power source.

The blue termination (-48 V) connects to a 50 A overcurrent protection circuit device, and the black

(return) termination connects directly to the RTN bus of the DC power source. The green/yellow termination (ground) must connect to the same earth ground point as the switch.

Installing a 1200 W DC PSU

To install an Extreme Networks 1200 W DC PSU:

1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to the ground receptacle on the top-left corner of the switch front panel.

CAUTION

Be sure that the grounding point on the back of the switch chassis is securely connected to earth ground. For

NOTE

Read the information in this chapter thoroughly before you attempt to install or remove an 8800 series MSM or I/O module.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to mix modules across Extreme Networks product lines. BlackDiamond 8800 series modules are for use only in a BlackDiamond 8810 or 8806 switch. When a BlackDiamond switch is in use, ExtremeXOS software will not recognize a module from a different product line.

Module Slot Assignments

The specific slot locations for I/O modules and MSMs in the chassis are as follows:

● BlackDiamond 8810 switch

Slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10 can accommodate only I/O modules.

Slot 5/A can accommodate only an MSM.

Slot 6/B can accommodate an MSM or I/O module, with the exceptions noted in Table 20 on page 110 .

BlackDiamond 8806 switch

Slots 1, 2, 5, and 6 can accommodate only I/O modules.

Slot 3/A can accommodate only an MSM.

Slot 4/B can accommodate an MSM or I/O module, with the exceptions noted in Table 20 on page 110 .

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide 109

Installing Modules and Establishing Initial Management Access

NOTE

The following slots will only operate an MSM:

Slot 5/A in the BlackDiamond 8810 chassis

Slot 3/A in the BlackDiamond 8806 chassis

MSMs reside in different slots depending on which BlackDiamond switch you operate:

● If you are using only one MSM in the BlackDiamond 8806 switch, install that MSM in slot 3. If you add a second MSM to increase reliability and throughput, install the second MSM in slot 4.

● If you are using only one MSM in the BlackDiamond 8810 switch, install that MSM in slot 5. If you add a second MSM to increase reliability and throughput, install the second MSM in slot 6.

Chassis and Slot Compatibility Issues for 8900 Series Modules

Slot 6/B in the BlackDiamond 8810 chassis and slot 4/B in the BlackDiamond 8806 chassis accommodate either an MSM or an I/O module. However, when you use 8900 series modules, certain

combinations of model series and type are not supported (see Table 20

).

8900 series I/O module

Do not install 8900 series I/O modules in any slot of a BlackDiamond 8810 chassis that has a manufacturing part number of 800129-00 (revision 10 or earlier). (Most of these chassis models are labeled Aspen instead of BlackDiamond.) To verify the part number and revision, use the show version

CLI command. This compatibility issue affects only I/O modules.

CAUTION

The backplane connectors do not seat properly if you try to insert an 8900 series I/O module into a chassis labeled

Aspen 8810 (manufacturing part number 800129-00, revision 10 or earlier). ExtremeXOS software will not allow an

8900 series I/O module to become operational if it is inserted into a chassis labeled Aspen 8810.

Distinguishing an MSM from an I/O Module

One quick way to distinguish a BlackDiamond 8800 series MSM from an I/O module is by the color of the release latch on each injector/ejector handle. Orange injector/ejector release latches indicate that the

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

module is a BlackDiamond MSM, and green injector/ejector release latches indicate that the module is a

BlackDiamond I/O module (see Figure 67 ).

Figure 67: Colors on Injector/ejector Release Latches

I/O module release latches are green

MSM release latches are orange

Installing a BlackDiamond 8000 Series Module

You need the following tools and equipment to install a BlackDiamond 8000 series I/O module or MSM:

● ESD-preventive wrist strap

#2 Phillips screwdriver

Appropriate type of cable for any ports on the module

CAUTION

Although they appear physically similar, BlackDiamond 12800 series modules are not compatible with

BlackDiamond 8800 series hardware. Do not try to install a BlackDiamond 12800 series module in a BlackDiamond

8810 or 8806 chassis.

When you handle modules, optical devices, or other modular accessories, use an ESD-preventive wrist strap to reduce the risk of electronic damage to the equipment. Transport PC boards only in electrostatic packaging. Always place PC boards on a grounded surface before working on them.

To install a module in a BlackDiamond 8800 series switch:

1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to the ground receptacle at the top left corner of the chassis.

2 Select a slot for the module. (See

“Module Slot Assignments” on page 109

.)

CAUTION

MSMs and I/O modules only fit properly into their designated slots. Forceful insertion into the wrong slot type can damage the module.

3 Remove a blank front panel from the chassis slot, if applicable.

NOTE

Any unoccupied module slot in the chassis should have a blank faceplate installed to ensure satisfactory protection from EMI and to maintain adequate airflow through the chassis.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide 111

Installing Modules and Establishing Initial Management Access

4 Remove the module from the antistatic packaging as follows: a Place the antistatic bag containing the module on a flat ESD-protective surface that is clear of any debris.

b Break the quality seal, the ESD warning seal, and the Read Installation Note seal.

c Open the antistatic bag and firmly grasp the rail of the module.

d Hold the rail of the module as you pull the antistatic bag off the module.

NOTE

By holding the rail of the module and pulling the ESD bag off the module, you prevent damage to the module that might be caused by sliding the module on the ESD surface.

Store the module packaging for future use.

CAUTION

To prevent ESD damage, hold the module by the metal rail and front panel only. Never touch the components on the PCB or the pins on any of the connectors.

5

Verify that the module injector/ejector handles are open ( Figure 68

).

Figure 68: Injector/ejector Handles in an Open Position

112

EX_123

6 Keep the injector/ejector handles in the open position as you slide the module into the chassis slot.

CAUTION

Do not slide the module into the open chassis slot if the injector/ejector handles are in the latched position.

7 Use both hands to latch the injector/ejector handles, by simultaneously pushing both handles

toward the center of the module, as shown in Figure 69 .

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Figure 69: Injector/ejector Handles in the Latched Position

EX_124

CAUTION

There are two styles of ejector/injector handles on the BlackDiamond 8800 series modules. Pay careful attention to the instructions in the next step.

8

Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, lock the module into place in one of the following ways ( Figure 70 ):

● If the captive screw on each handle has a yellow band around the head of the screw, turn the screw on each injector/ejector handle clockwise and completely down. When the screw is fully tightened, the yellow band around the captive screw is completely hidden.

CAUTION

Be careful to avoid over-torquing and stripping the screw heads.

If the captive screw on each handle has a red line on the head (see Figure 71 ), turn each captive

screw one-quarter turn (90 degrees) clockwise. When the module is correctly locked, the red line on the captive screw in each injector/ejector handle is in a vertical position.

CAUTION

Be sure to turn each captive screw only 90 degrees or one-quarter turn clockwise. Tightening the captive screws beyond 90 degrees will damage the injector/ejector handles on the modules.

9 Store the module packaging for future use.

Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently connected to the chassis so that the strap is always available when you need to handle ESD-sensitive components.

Connecting Network Interface Cables

Use the appropriate type of cable to connect the ports of your switch to another switch or router.

Working carefully, one port at a time:

1 Verify that you have identified the correct cable for the port.

2 Use an alcohol wipe or other appropriate cleaning agent to clean the cable connectors; make sure they are free of dust, oil, and other contaminants.

3 If you are using optical fiber cable, align the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) connectors with the correct corresponding connectors on the switch or the I/O module.

4 Press the cable connectors into their mating connectors on the switch or I/O module until the cable connector is firmly seated.

5

Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining cables on this or other switches or I/O modules.

6 Dress and secure the cable bundle to provide appropriate strain relief and protection against bends and kinks.

Connecting and Disconnecting Cables on the 10G4Ca Module

The ports on the 10G4Ca I/O module use copper CX4 interface connectors. The cables that connect to these ports include a latch that mechanically stabilizes the connection. You must be sure to correctly engage the latch when you connect cables, and to correctly disengage the latch when you disconnect cables.

To connect cables to the 10G4Ca module:

1 Make sure that the connector latch is pulled back to the unlatched position.

2 Align the connector with the module port and push it into place until the connector is flush with the

front panel of the module ( Figure 72

).

3

Evenly push the latch toward the module port to secure the connection ( Figure 72 ). Make sure that

the latch engages equally on both sides.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Figure 72: Connecting a 10G4Ca Module Port

To disconnect a cable from a 10G4Ca module:

Installing Modules and Establishing Initial Management Access

1 Align the cable connector with the port connector and firmly press the cable connector into place.

2 Use a small straight-tip screwdriver to align and tighten the retaining screw at each end of the cable connector.

Installing a Backup MSM

If you install a backup MSM, use the synchronize command to replicate all saved images and configurations from the primary MSM to the backup MSM.

You are not prompted to synchronize the images and the configurations from the primary to the backup. If not synchronized, the backup uses its image and the primary configuration. This image/configuration mismatch will likely cause the switch to operate differently after failover.

CAUTION

Depending on the size and complexity of your network, you should install and configure a backup MSM when network disruption will be minimal. You may need to reboot your switch after you use the synchronize command.

Verifying the Module Installation

After you install a module, verify that it is working correctly by checking the LEDs on the front panel of

the module. Table 21 shows normal LED operation for correctly installed MSMs and I/O modules.

Use the command line interface (CLI) show slot <slot number>

command to display slot-specific information about the newly installed module.

BlackDiamond Cable Management

This chapter includes the following sections:

About BlackDiamond Cable Management on page 145

Using the Cable Holders and Cable Clips on page 145

The BlackDiamond cable holders and cable clips provide a way to organize and contain masses of cables connected to a BlackDiamond switch. This chapter describes how to install and use these cable management accessories.

About BlackDiamond Cable Management

Interlocking cable holders and cable clips for the BlackDiamond switches provide free-standing, rigid structural support for individual cables and cable bundles in front of the switch. You can use the cable holders and cable clips individually or connect them together to manage multiple cable bundles.

The cable management accessories keep cables collected in one place, rather than allowing them to hang freely. If you must remove a module from the chassis for replacement or repair, the cable clips and holders maintain the cable arrangement in front of the chassis for ease of connection when you reinsert the module.

Using the Cable Holders and Cable Clips

When you use the cable holders and the cable clips, Extreme Networks recommends the following:

● Attach the cables to the holders by slipping the cable through the opening.

Connect the cable holders, if you need more than one. (Refer to

“Connecting Cable Holders” on page 146 .)

If you need more than one cable clip for a bundle, connect the clips together before you route the

cables through the clips. (Refer to “Connecting Cable Clips” on page 147

.)

To form a cable bundle, thread the cables through the clips.

Figure 104

shows the cable holders and clips being used to manage a group of cables.

Safety Information

Installing Power Supply Units

For the ratings and power requirements of each power supply unit, see Appendix B, “Technical

Specifications” or the data sheet for the power supply at

http://www.extremenetworks.com

.

WARNING!

Be sure that the requirements listed in this section are satisfied when installing all Extreme Networks power supplies.

When you install power supplies:

● Plug power supplies only into properly grounded electrical outlets to help prevent electrical shock and comply with international safety standards.

Use only power cords that are certified for use within the country of use. Do not attempt to modify

AC power cords.

Make sure the wall outlet is installed near the equipment and is easily accessible for quick disconnect.

Make sure the voltage and frequency of your power outlet match the system electrical ratings for the equipment. The building and/or power source must provide overload protection.

Use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply to protect the system from momentary increases or decreases in electrical power.

When inserting a hot-swappable power supply into the bay, do not use excessive force.

If multiple power supplies are used in a switch, connect each power supply to a different, independent power source. If a single power source fails, it will affect only that power supply to which it is connected. If all the power supplies on a single switch are connected to the same power source, the entire switch is vulnerable to a power failure.

WARNING!

Extreme Networks DC PSUs do not have switches for turning the unit on and off. Make sure that the DC circuit is de-energized before connecting or disconnecting the DC power cord at the DC power socket on the Extreme

Networks DC PSU.

Wiring the DC PSU DC power cord to your facility DC source voltage must be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician.

Extreme Networks AC external power supplies do not have switches for turning the unit on and off. Remove the wall plug from the electrical outlet to disconnect the power from an Extreme Networks AC external power supply. Make sure that this connection is easily accessible.

Do not connect a power supply to an electrical outlet when the power supply is not installed in the chassis; doing so would expose a hazardous energy and poses a potential shock and fire hazard.

Do not put your hand into an open power supply bay when a power supply is not present. Empty power supply bays require a cover plate at all times.

BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Maintenance Safety

When you perform maintenance procedures on Extreme Networks equipment, follow these recommendations:

● Use only original accessories or components approved for use with this system. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the equipment or violate required safety and EMC regulations.

The chassis cover should only be removed by Extreme Networks personnel. This system contains no customer serviceable components. Repairs to the system must be performed by an Extreme

Networks factory service technician.

In systems that have power-on buttons, the power-on button may not turn off all system power. To remove power from the system, you must unplug all power cords from wall outlets. The power cord is the disconnect device to the main power source.

Disconnect all power before removing the back panel of any Extreme Networks switch, unless otherwise instructed by a product specific maintenance procedure.

Disconnect all power cords before working near power supplies, unless otherwise instructed by a product-specific maintenance procedure.

When you handle modules, optic devices, power supplies, or other modular accessories put on an

ESD-preventive wrist strap to reduce the risk of electronic damage to the equipment. Connect the other end of the strap to the ESD connector on the front of the chassis. Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently attached to the chassis so that it is always available when you need to handle ESD-sensitive components.

Install all cables in a manner that avoids strain. Use tie wraps or other strain relief devices.

Replace power cord immediately if it shows any signs of damage.

General Safety Precautions

Follow these guidelines:

● Do not attempt to lift objects that you think are too heavy for you.

When you install equipment in a rack, load heavier devices in the lower half of the rack first to avoid making the rack top-heavy.

Only use tools and equipment that are in perfect condition. Do not use equipment with visible damage.

Route cables in a manner that prevents possible damage to the cables and avoids causing accidents, such as tripping.

Safety Information

Cable Routing for LAN Systems

The BlackDiamond 8800 series switches meet the requirements for LAN system equipment. LAN systems are designed for intra-building installations; that is, cable runs between devices must be in the same building as the connected units.

This equipment can be connected between buildings if any one of the following conditions is true:

● Cable runs between buildings are less than 140 feet long.

Cable runs between buildings are directly buried.

Cable runs between buildings are in an underground conduit, where a continuous metallic cable shield or a continuous metallic conduit containing the cable is bonded to each building grounding electrode system.

CAUTION

Failure to follow these requirements for cable routing conditions may expose the user to electrical shock and expose the unit to errors or damage.

WARNING!

The intra-building ports of the equipment or sub-assembly are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or sub-assembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

PoE Devices

When connecting power over Ethernet (PoE) devices to a PoE switch, all connections between the PoE device and the switch must remain inside the same building and use a low-voltage power distribution system per IEEE 802.3af.

Selecting Power Supply Cords

Extreme Networks does not provide power input cords in the product box. To purchase a power cord for your product and for your specific country, contact your local Extreme Networks Channel Account

Manager or Sales Manager, or purchase a cord from your local supplier.

Niemals durch ein Vergrößerungsgerät auf die übertragende LED/den Laser schauen, wenn diese(r) eingeschaltet ist.

Niemals direkt auf einen Lichtleiteranschluss am Switch oder auf die Enden eines Faserkabels schauen, wenn diese eingeschaltet sind.

Bei offenen Anschlüssen kann es zu unsichtbarer Laserstrahlung kommen. Direkter Augenkontakt mit dem

Strahl ist zu vermeiden.

Ein optisches Gerät niemals auf andere Weise verändern oder modifizieren als in diesem Dokument angegeben.

Einhaltung behördlicher Vorschriften durch GBIC, SFP (Mini-GBIC), XENPAK und XFP
