Attaching the Mid-Mount Brackets
The BlackDiamond 8800 series chassis has attached rack-mounting flanges for a front-mount rack
installation. To install the chassis in a mid-mount position in the rack, attach the optional mid-mount
brackets as described in this section.
CAUTION
The BlackDiamond 8806 chassis weighs almost 65 pounds., and the BlackDiamond 8810 chassis weighs almost 80
pounds. Proper lifting and moving of the chassis requires two people.
To attach the mid-mount brackets:
1 Set the empty chassis in an upright position on a secure flat surface.
2 Determine the locations for the mid-mount brackets.
NOTE
Each side of the chassis has two sets of mounting holes to provide two positions for attaching the mid-mount
brackets.
3 Identify the left and right brackets.
Each mid-mount bracket is clearly marked for placement on either the right or left side, as viewed
from the front of the chassis.
4 On each side of the chassis, attach the appropriate mid-mount bracket using the eight screws
provided in the kit (see
Figure 53 and Figure 54 ).
