More installed power supplies 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 power supply 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 power
supply. Make sure that this connection is easily accessible.
Make sure that the 700/1200 W AC power supply circuit is not overloaded. Use proper over-
current protection, such as a circuit-breaker, to prevent over-current conditions.

The following figure
shows the Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC UL-listed accessory power supply
unit (Model number 41050/PS 2431). This power supply is compatible with the BlackDiamond 8806

Figure 27: Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC Power Supply
The front panel on each 600/900 W AC power supply provides a handle for insertion and removal of
the unit. Two cooling fans draw air in through the front vents on the power supply and exhaust the air
through the rear vents of the switch. Airflow through the power supply is independent of the airflow
through the rest of the switch.
