1 About the BlackDiamond 12800 Series  
Switches  
This chapter includes the following sections:  
For information about the I/O modules and management modules (MSMs) for the BlackDiamond 12800  
For information about installing the BlackDiamond switches, see Chapter 2, “Installing the  
Overview of the BlackDiamond 12800 Series Switches  
The BlackDiamond switches are chassis-based, Ethernet service core switches designed for core  
applications. For more information about configuring a BlackDiamond switch, see the ExtremeXOS 12.0  
Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Command Reference Guide.  
The features of these switches include:  
I/O modules that are hot-swappable and include Gigabit Ethernet copper ports (10/100/1000) and  
Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports (SFP), or 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports  
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 12800 series switches include two chassis models:  
BlackDiamond 12804 switch chassis (see page 16)  
BlackDiamond 12802 chassis (see page 18)  
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, which, in effect, doubles the bandwidth  
available on a link. Most ports on an Extreme Networks switch will auto-negotiate duplex in the default  
configuration. Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports operate only in full-duplex  
mode in accordance with technical standards.

About the BlackDiamond 12800 Series Switches  
Management Ports  
Each BlackDiamond series 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 family include a compact flash slot next to the console port on the  
MSM. 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 12.0 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.

2 BlackDiamond 12800 Series Modules  
This chapter includes the following sections:  
For information about installing modules in a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch, see Chapter  
Overview of the BlackDiamond 12800 Series Modules  
Two sets of modules are available for the BlackDiamond 12800 series switch: the 12800 series of  
modules and the 12800 R series of modules. All BlackDiamond 12800 series I/O modules and  
management system modules (MSMs) use the Extreme Networks 4th Generation ASICs that enable  
high availability, advanced security, and deterministic performance independent of traffic mix. The  
BlackDiamond 12800 series R-series modules further provide hierarchical QoS and larger MAC address,  
IP route, and ACL capacity for network designs that need the advanced QoS features and scale. The  
R-series modules support rate limiting, which is the ability to control bandwidth throughout the  
network. For complete details about rate limiting, refer to the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide. Table 3  
lists the modules available in each series.

CAUTION  
Do not attempt to mix modules across Extreme Networks product lines. BlackDiamond 12800 series modules are for  
use only in a BlackDiamond 12802 or 12804 switch. When a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch is in use,  
ExtremeXOS software will not recognize a module from a different product line.  
NOTE  
The BlackDiamond R-series modules must be used together to take advantage of the higher feature set and scale.  
The ExtremeXOS software recognizes the MSM type installed in your BlackDiamond 12800 series switch and only  
allows use of compatible I/O modules from the same series. An error message is displayed if you attempt to mix  
modules.

BlackDiamond 12800 Series Modules  
BlackDiamond 12800 Series MSMs  
The BlackDiamond 12800 series MSMs are the MSM-5 module, MSM-5R module, and MSM-6R module.  
These MSMs provide the active switching fabric and CPU control subsystem for the switch. The  
BlackDiamond 12802 chassis has one dedicated MSM slot; the BlackDiamond 12804 chassis has two  
dedicated MSM slots. One MSM is required for switch operation; however, adding a second MSM to a  
BlackDiamond 12804 chassis increases system availability through redundancy. Each MSM provides  
192 Gbps of switching throughput through three ASICs. Each module also contains a temperature  
sensor, nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), and a real-time clock.  
The MSM-5 and the MSM-5R and MSM-6R modules support different sizes of Ternary Content  
Addressable Memory (TCAM). The MSM-5R and MSM-6R modules have more memory available for  
routing tables, learned MAC addresses, and access control lists (ACLs). For specific details about  
memory allocation, refer to the data sheet for each module.  
CAUTION  
You must use compatible MSMs and I/O modules from a single BlackDiamond 12800 module series. Do not attempt  
to mix MSMs from the two different series. The ExtremeXOS software recognizes the MSM type installed in your  
BlackDiamond 12800 series switch and only allows use of a second MSM of the same type and compatible I/O  
modules from the same series. An error message is displayed if you attempt to mix module series.  
Software Requirements  
Table 4 lists the minimum software revision required for MSMs in the BlackDiamond 12800 series  
switches.

BlackDiamond 12802  
MSM-5, MSM-5R  
MSM-6R  
Make sure your BlackDiamond switches are running the required software version to support the  
switch model and MSM type. The MSM-6R requires ExtremeXOS 12.0.2 or later. A BlackDiamond 12802  
switch running software earlier than version 12.0.1 will not be fully operational.  
To upgrade the software in your BlackDiamond 12802 switch, access the latest image at the Extreme  
Networks support website at http://www.extremenetworks.com/services/services-hub.aspx. Follow the upgrade  
instructions in the ExtremeXOS Release Notes.  
NOTE  
The MSM slot in the BlackDiamond 12802 switch is labeled MSM on the front panel. The ExtremeXOS software  
refers to this MSM as MSM-A in all related displays and command output.

BlackDiamond 12800 Series MSMs  
Redundant MSM Activity (BlackDiamond 12804 Switch)  
The BlackDiamond 12804 switch can operate with a single MSM installed, providing full bandwidth  
with this single MSM. When you install a second MSM, one of the MSMs operates as the primary, and  
the other becomes the secondary or backup.  
The primary MSM is responsible for upper-layer protocol processing and system management  
functions. The MSMs in the BlackDiamond 12804 switch are not load sharing. MSM(A) or MSM(B)  
handles packets while the other MSM is idle.  
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 BlackDiamond 12804 switch boots with two MSMs installed, the MSM in slot 3/A becomes  
the primary.  
If a switch is operating with one MSM and a second MSM is added to the switch after it has been  
powered up, the added MSM becomes the secondary. MSMs that operate as secondary, or backup,  
MSMs can be inserted and removed without disrupting network services.  
If you remove the primary MSM while the switch is operating, the secondary MSM performs a soft  
reset and then becomes the primary MSM.  
For example, if you have a BlackDiamond 12804 switch with a primary MSM in slot 3/A and a  
secondary MSM in slot 4/B, and you remove the primary MSM from slot 3/A, the secondary, or  
backup, MSM in slot 4/B becomes the primary.

Each MSM consists of a printed circuit board mounted on a metal panel that acts as the insertion  
vehicle in the BlackDiamond 12800 series switch. The module carrier also includes ejector/injector  
levers and captive retaining screws at each end of the module front panel.  
The MSMs have the following features on the front panel:  
Console port—The DB-9 serial console port is used to connect a terminal, allowing you to perform  
local management.  
Management port—The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port allows you to connect an Ethernet  
cable directly from your laptop to the management port to view and locally manage the switch

configurations. This port can also be used to connect the system to a parallel management network  
for administration.  
Compact flash—You can insert an external compact flash memory card into this slot. (See Chapter 2  
for more information about Extreme Networks-supported compact flash cards.)  
Reset button—Use the Reset button to reset the MSM without removing the module from the  
chassis.  
NOTE  
Although the BlackDiamond 12800 series MSMs are similar in appearance, each MSM model has specific features.  
The MSM-5R and MSM-6R modules belong to the R series and include the rate limiting feature, which the MSM-5  
module does not support.  
To use rate limiting, you must install modules with model numbers ending in R. These include the MSM-5R module  
or MSM-6R module and the GM-20XTR I/O module, the XM-2XR I/O module, and the XM-2HR module.  
The MSM-6R module provides the same functionality as the MSM-5R module, with higher performance  
for CPU-based activities such as BGP, OSPF, and MPLS.  
BlackDiamond 12800 Series I/O Modules  
No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on  
the MSMs.  
When a BlackDiamond 12800 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 module reverts to its default configuration.  
NOTE  
See the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Command Reference Guide for more  
information about configuring the modules.

NOTE  
Although the GM-20XT module and the GM-20XTR module are similar in appearance, they have different  
functionality. The GM-20XTR is part of the R series and includes the rate limiting feature; the GM-20XT module  
does not support rate limiting.  
To use rate limiting, you must install the MSM-5R plus the GM-20XTR I/O module and/or the XM-2XR I/O module.  
The GM-20XT module and GM-20XTR I/O module have 20 autosensing 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that  
use standard RJ-45 connectors and 20 SFP ports. Each pair of ports operates as a combination port.  
Either the copper port or the fiber port can be active, but not both. You can set up a redundant link by  
connecting both the copper and fiber ports in the pair. The port that is connected first becomes the  
active port. If that port fails, the second port automatically becomes active. For more information about  
redundant ports and automatic failover, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts Guide.  
The default configuration of the GM-20XT and GM-20XTR I/O module is as follows. All ports:  
Are added to the default VLAN as untagged.  
Inherit the properties of the default VLAN (for example, protocol type and VLANid).  
Operate in autonegotiation mode.

Overview of BlackDiamond 12800 Series Power  
Supplies  
The BlackDiamond 12800 series switches can be powered by either AC or DC power supplies (PSUs).  
Power supplies in the BlackDiamond 12800 series switches are fully fault tolerant and load-sharing in  
an N+1 configuration. 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 9 lists the power supplies for use in the BlackDiamond 12800 series switches.

4 Site Preparation  
This chapter includes the following sections:  
By carefully planning your site, you can maximize the performance of your existing network and  
ensure that it is ready to migrate to future networking technologies.  
The information in this chapter is intended for the system administrator, network equipment technician,  
network manager, or facilities manager responsible for installing and managing the network hardware.  
The chapter assumes a working knowledge of local area network (LAN) operations, and a familiarity  
with communications protocols that are used on interconnected LANs.  
Installation, maintenance, and removal of a switch, chassis, or its components must be done by qualified  
service personnel only. Qualified service personnel have had appropriate technical training and  
experience that is necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed when performing a  
task and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other people.  
NOTE  
Before installing or removing any components of the system, or before carrying out any maintenance procedures, you  
must read the safety information provided in Appendix A of this guide.  
Planning Your Site  
To install your equipment successfully, you should plan your site carefully. The site planning process  
has three major parts:  
Meeting site requirements  
The physical installation site must meet the following requirements for a safe and successful  
installation:  
Building and electrical code requirements  
Environmental, safety, and thermal requirements for the equipment you plan to install  
Equipment rack requirements  
Evaluating and meeting cable requirements  
After examining your physical site and verifying that all environment requirements are met,  
evaluate and compare your existing cable plant with the requirements of the Extreme Networks  
equipment to determine if you need to install new cables.

Site Preparation  
Meeting power requirements  
To run your equipment safely, you must meet the specific power requirements for each power  
supply unit installed in the system. For power supply specifications, see “Power Supplies for the  
Meeting Site Requirements  
This section addresses the various requirements to consider when preparing your installation site,  
including:  
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.  
Building and Electrical Codes  
Building and electrical codes vary depending on your location. Comply with all code specifications  
when planning your site and installing cable. The following sections are provided as a resource to  
obtain additional information.  
Information about major building codes is located at the following websites:  
International Code Council (ICC); 5203 Leesburg Pike; Falls Church, Virginia 22041 USA.  
Five authorities on electrical codes are:  
wiring. Federal, state, and local governments use NEC standards to establish their own laws,  
Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The address is NFPA; 1 Batterymarch Park; Quincy,

FCC; 445 12th Street S.W.; Washington, D.C. 20554 USA. http://www.fcc.gov  
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  
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 equipment 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).

Site Preparation  
NOTE  
Like all electrical equipment, product lifetimes degrade with increased temperature. If possible, temperatures should  
be kept at approximately 78° F (25° C) or lower.  
Humidity  
To maximize equipment life, keep operating humidity between 50% and 70% relative humidity (non-  
condensing) during typical operation. The equipment can operate between 10% and 95% relative  
humidity (non-condensing) for short intervals.  
BlackDiamond Family Chassis Spacing Requirements  
Because of chassis-to-chassis heating, Extreme Networks recommends placing no more than three  
chassis next to each other. In addition, Extreme Networks recommends the following general principles  
for equipment placement:  
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.  
Airflow Requirements  
To ensure proper airflow through a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch, refer to the following  
recommendations:  
BlackDiamond 12800 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 12800 series switches, airflow through the power supplies is independent of the  
airflow through the modules as shown in Figure 20.

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 come with ESD-preventive wrist strap connectors and an ESD-preventive  
wrist strap as shown in Figure 21.

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.  
Install equipment into the lower half of the rack first to avoid making the rack top-heavy.  
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 dependent 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 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, “Extreme  
Appendix A, “Safety Information.” Drill and tap wire terminals to equipment racks.  
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.

Meeting Site Requirements  
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.  
WARNING!  
A BlackDiamond 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  
de-energizing the circuit that feeds the power supply, which is usually accomplished by turning off a circuit breaker.  
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 22.

Evaluating and Meeting Cable Requirements  
This section addresses requirements for the cable you should use when installing your network  
equipment. It includes:  
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:  
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 equipment 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 equipment rack. Include the following cable drop information: the cable  
source, destination, and jumper location.

Evaluating and Meeting Cable Requirements  
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 23.  
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.  
When required for safety and fire rating requirements, use plenum-rated cable. See your local  
building codes for determining when it is appropriate to use plenum-rated cable, or refer to IEC  
standard 850.  
Keep all ports and connectors free of dust.  
WARNING!  
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 RJ45 into a LAN  
Static Discharge device or use an equivalent method.

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 24.  
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

Meeting Power Requirements  
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 devices or situations:  
Attaching UTP cable to AC power cables  
Routing UTP cable near antennas, such as a ham 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:  
Power Supply Requirements  
Adhere to the following requirements to operate your Extreme Networks equipment safely:  
Be sure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power consumption and  
component heat dissipation specifications.  
Be sure that your power supply meets the site power or AC power requirements of the network  
equipment.  
When connecting power to installed equipment, avoid connecting through an extension cord or  
power strip.  
If your switch includes more than one power supply, connect each power supply to a different,  
independent power source.  
If a power source fails, it will affect only the switch 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.

NOTE  
When using dual power supplies, make sure that each AC power supply attaches to an independent power source.  
Replacing the Power Cable  
If the power cable plug is unsuitable and must be replaced, connect the power supply wires for the  
switch according to the following scheme:  
Brown wire to the Live (Line) plug terminal, which may be marked with the letter “L” or colored  
red.  
Blue wire to the Neutral plug terminal, which may be marked with the letter “N” or colored black.  
Yellow/Green wire to the Ground plug terminal, which may be marked with the letter “E” (the  
Earth symbol) or colored yellow/green.  
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.  
54  
BlackDiamond 12800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
               
Applicable Industry Standards  
Provide power for a period of time after a blackout has occurred.  
In addition, some UPS devices 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?  
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. Then multiply the numbers  
together to get Volt-Amperes (VA):  
VA = Volts x Amperes  
2
Add the VA from all the pieces of equipment together 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:

7 Installing Modules and Connecting Cables  
This chapter provides important safety information and correct installation procedures for the MSMs  
and I/O modules in the BlackDiamond 12800 series switches. All module types are hot-swappable.  
The chapter includes the following sections:  
NOTE  
Read the information in this chapter thoroughly before you attempt to install or remove BlackDiamond 12800 series  
MSM or I/O module.  
CAUTION  
Do not attempt to mix modules across Extreme Networks product lines. Blackdiamond 12800 series modules are for  
use only in a BlackDiamond 12804 or 12802 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 12804 switch  
Slots 1, 2, 5, and 6 must have I/O modules.  
slots 3/A and 4/B must have MSMs.  
BlackDiamond 12802 switch  
Slots 1 and 2 (top and bottom) must have I/O modules.  
Slot MSM (middle) must have an MSM.  
Chassis slots will only operate their designated module type.  
In the BlackDiamond 12802 switch, the slot for the MSM is labeled MSM. The ExtremeXOS software  
refers to this MSM as MSM-A in all related displays and command output.

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.  
Press the cable connectors into their mating connectors on the switch or I/O module until the cable  
connector is firmly seated.  
5
6
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining cables on this or other switches or I/O modules.  
Dress and secure the cable bundle to provide appropriate strain relief and protection against bends  
and kinks.  
Installing a Backup MSM  
If you install a backup MSM, use the synchronizecommand 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.

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 325 W 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 325 W DC PSU.  
Wiring the 325 W DC PSU DC power cord to your facility DC source voltage must be performed by a qualified,  
licensed electrician.  
Extreme Networks 325 W 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 from an Extreme Networks 325 W AC PSU. Make sure that this  
connection is easily accessible.  
Do not connect the power supply to an electrical outlet when the power supply is outside 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.

Fiber Optic Ports—Optical Safety  
Nur Werkzeuge und Ausrüstung verwenden, die sich in einwandfreiem Zustand befinden. Keine  
Ausrüstung verwenden, die sichtbare Beschädigungen aufweist.  
Verlegen von Kabeln: Kabel so verlegen, dass keine Schäden entstehen oder Unfälle, z. B. durch  
Stolpern, verursacht werden können.  
Auswahl der Stromkabel  
Je nachdem, welchen Switch Sie erworben haben, werden die Wechselstromnetzteile von Extreme  
Networks entweder nur mit einem 110-VAC-Kabel oder mit einem 110-VAC-Kabel und einem 208/220-  
VAC-Kabel geliefert. Die von Extreme Networks gelieferten Stromkabel sind nur für den Einsatz in den  
Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada ausgelegt und zugelassen. Stromkabel für den Einsatz außerhalb der  
Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada werden normalerweise von einem Drittanbieter geliefert und müssen  
die folgenden Anforderungen erfüllen:  
Die Stromkabel müssen offiziell für das Land zugelassen sein, in dem sie verwendet werden sollen.  
Die Stromkabel müssen mit einem für das Einsatzland zugelassenen Wandsteckkontakt mit der  
geeigneten Nennleistung ausgerüstet sein.  
Die Konfiguration der Steckvorrichtung (die Steckverbindung zur Einheit, nicht zur Wandsteckdose)  
muss für eine Gerätesteckdose gemäß EN60320/IEC320-C14 ausgeführt sein.  
Die Länge der Stromkabel muss weniger als 5 m (15 Fuß) betragen.  
Die Mindestspezifikation für das flexible Kabel lautet:  
Nr. 18 AWG (0,823 mm2) für Einheiten mit einem Bemessungsstrom von weniger als 10 A,  
oder  
Nr. 18 AWG (0,823 mm2) bis 2 m Länge für Einheiten mit einem Bemessungsstrom von 10 A  
oder höher, oder  
Nr. 16 AWG (1,0 mm2) bis 5 m Länge für Einheiten mit einem Bemessungsstrom von 10 A  
oder höher  
Bei allen Kabeln muss es sich um 3-adrige Kupferleiter vom Typ SVT oder SJT, HAR oder einen  
äquivalenten Typ handeln.  
Verwenden Sie immer ein Wechselstromkabel, das den Vorschriften Ihres Landes entspricht. Erkundigen  
Sie sich über die örtlichen Vorschriften für Elektroinstallationen und fragen Sie bei den zuständigen  
Aufsichtsbehörden nach den Anforderungen an Stromkabel. Nähere Angaben zu den  
Leistungsspezifikationen von Netzteilen finden sich unter http://www.extremenetworks.com oder in  
Anhang B dieses Dokuments.  
WARNUNG!  
Vor dem Anschließen des Wechselstromkabels an ein Netzteil muss sichergestellt werden, dass die Steckdose  
vorschriftsgemäß geerdet ist.  
Für die unten aufgeführten Länder gelten zusätzlich folgende Anforderungen:  
Argentinien: Der Netzstecker muss den argentinischen Standards entsprechen.  
Australien: Versorgungssteckdose, 15 A Minimum, AS 3112 für 110/220-VAC-Netzteile  
Dänemark: Der Netzstecker muss die in Abschnitt 107-2-D1 der Norm DK2-1a oder DK2-5a  
aufgeführten Bestimmungen erfüllen.  
Japan:  
Versorgungssteckdose, 15 A, JIS 8303 für 110/220-VAC-Netzteile.
