BLACKDIAMOND 6800 SWITCH COMPONENTS BLACKDIAMOND 6800 SWITCH POWER SUPPLY The BlackDiamond 6800 switch can have one or two A/C power supplies that use 220V power. When two power supplies are present, the power is load-shared between the supplies for enhanced longevity. The power supplies are hot-swappable.
BLACKDIAMOND 6800 SWITCH OVERVIEW The MSM64i must be installed in one of the two center slots of the BlackDiamond 6800 chassis, labeled Slot A and Slot B. Figure 1-2 shows the MSM64i.
BLACKDIAMOND 6800 SWITCH COMPONENTS performed by the master MSM64i. Packet handling is distributed among the four CPUs on both MSM64i modules. Selection of the master MSM64i occurs automatically. The following scenarios describe the selection process: • When the BlackDiamond 6800 switch boots with both MSM64i modules already installed, the MSM64i in Slot A becomes the master. • When the BlackDiamond 6800 switch boots with a single MSM64i (regardless of the slot), it is selected as the master.
50015 BLACKDIAMOND 6800 SWITCH OVERVIEW EW_SODMs Figure 1-3: MSM64i SODIMM sockets For larger network configurations and larger routing tables, you can add additional memory to the MSM64i. The MSM64i can be populated with any of the memory combinations described in Table 1-4.
BLACKDIAMOND 6800 SWITCH COMPONENTS For more information on adding or removing SODIMMs, refer to Chapter 3. MSM64i LEDS Table 1-5 describes the LED behavior on the MSM64i.
BLACKDIAMOND 6800 SWITCH OVERVIEW • F48Ti module • F32F module I/O modules can be inserted or de-inserted at any time, without causing disruption of network services. No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on the MSM64i module(s). When the BlackDiamond 6800 switch is powered on, ExtremeWare generates a default configuration for any slots that are occupied with I/O modules.
