Slide the power supply into the bay.

Caution: Be careful not to slam the power supply into the backplane. Only 
use the locking handle for inserting the power supply unit into the chassis.

c

Secure the power supply by rotating the locking handle up until it clicks in place, 
and then tighten the screws using a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver.

6

To install a second power supply, remove the blank plate from the power supply bay 
on the right of the chassis using a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver.

7

Install the second power supply, as shown in 

Figure 2-3

, by repeating the procedure 

described in Step 5.

Figure 2-3: Power supply bays

8

Prior to installing module cards into the BlackDiamond 6800 chassis, put on the ESD 
wrist strap that is provided with the chassis, and connect the metal end to the 
ground receptacle located on the top-left corner of the BlackDiamond 6800 switch 
front panel.

Leave the ESD strap permanently connected to the BlackDiamond 6800 chassis, so 
that it is always available when you need to handle ESD-sensitive components.

9

To install the MSM64i follow these steps:

a

Ensure that the MSM64i is right side up (printed circuit board, or PCB, to the 
right) and the ejector/injector handles are extended, as shown in 

Figure 2-4
