necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task. They are aware
of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other persons.
NOTE
Electronic components are sensitive to static electricity. ESD originating from you or from objects
around you can damage these components. Exercise every possible precaution to prevent ESD
when working around printed circuit assemblies.
Keep all printed circuit assemblies in protective ESD-preventive sacks or place them on antistatic
mats until you are ready to install them. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that the
leash is securely grounded before handling a bare printed circuit assembly.
• Some devices, such as I/O modules, contain fiber optic ports. To protect your eyes, you should never
look at the fiber optic ports while they are on, or look directly at the fiber cable ends when they are
on.
NOTE
To ensure that the system meets the NEBS GR-63-CORE Zone 4 earthquake requirements, we
recommend the use of a welded steel seismic rack, such as Hendry Telephone Products
(www.hendry.com) model: 0GS136.
Installing the Chassis
The BlackDiamond 6800 series chassis fits in a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack. Table 49 shows the
height measurements for the BlackDiamond 6800 series chassis.
The BlackDiamond 6800 series chassis comes shipped with a preinstalled fan tray. The empty chassis
weighs from 57 to 140 pounds, depending on the model. For your safety and to prevent damage to the
equipment, Extreme Networks strongly recommends that you mount the chassis in the rack as shipped,
before you install modules and power supplies. The increased weight of the chassis after components
are installed can make the switch hard to maneuver.
NOTE
Mount the chassis in a rack before installing any switch components.
