Selecting Power Supply Cords

BlackDiamond X8 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

NOTE

Because building codes vary worldwide, Extreme Networks strongly recommends that you consult

an electrical contractor to ensure proper equipment grounding and power distribution for your specific installation

and country.

Selecting Power Supply Cords

Extreme Networks does not provide power input cords in the product box. To purchase a power cord

for your product and for your specific country, contact your local Extreme Networks Channel Account

Manager or Sales Manager, or purchase a cord from your local supplier. Requirements for the power

cord are listed in Appendix B of this guide.

NOTE

This equipment is not intended to be directly powered by power distribution systems where

phase-phase voltages exceed 240V AC (2P+PE), such as those used in Norway, France, and other countries.

For these applications it is recommended that a transformer be used to step down the voltage to < 240V AC

from phase-phase, or that you make a connection to a (P+N+PE) power distribution where voltages do not

exceed 240V AC.

All installations should confirm that the product is reliably grounded according to the country’s local electrical codes.

Battery Replacement and Disposal

Batteries included with Extreme products are encapsulated and must be replaced only by qualified

Extreme Service personnel. Contact your Extreme Networks Service personnel for product replacement.

Do not attempt to replace the battery. If these instructions are disregarded and replacement of these

batteries is attempted, the following guidelines must be followed to avoid danger of explosion:

● Replace with the same or equivalent battery type as recommended by the battery manufacturer.

● Dispose of the battery in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s recommendation.

Fiber Optic Ports and Optical Safety

The following safety warnings apply to all optical devices used in Extreme Networks equipment that

are removable or directly installed in an I/O module or chassis system. Such devices include but are not

limited to gigabit interface converters (GBICs), small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules (or

mini-GBICs), QSFP+ modules, XENPAK transceivers, and XFP laser optic modules.
