Power Socket
The BlackDiamond 10K system chassis supports up to six AC power supplies. Each power supply has
its own power socket. When additional power supplies are installed, they provide redundant, load-
shared power to the BlackDiamond 10K series switch. If one of the power supplies fails, other power
supplies provide all power and ensure uninterrupted network operation.
Installing the Chassis
The BlackDiamond 10K series switch fits in standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) racks. You can install the switch
either flush against the back of the rack or in a mid-mount position to give you more access behind the
rack.

Grounding the BlackDiamond 10K Series Switch
The BlackDiamond 10K series switch is shipped with a pre-installed fan tray. For your safety, because of
the increased weight of the chassis after components are installed and to prevent damage to the
equipment, Extreme Networks strongly recommends that you install the I/O modules after you mount
the chassis in a rack.
NOTE
Mount the chassis in a rack before installing any switch components.
