The BlackDiamond is suited for use in a wiring closet or equipment room, where it can
be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Mounting brackets are integrated
with the chassis.
When deciding where to install the BlackDiamond, ensure that
• The system is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the chassis.
• Air-flow around the unit and through the vents at the rear of the chassis is not
restricted. A minimum of 3 inches is required (5 inches recommended) for clearance.
• Temperature operating limits of 0° to 40° C are not exceeded.

The BlackDiamond can be mounted in a rack. The chassis is 15U high and fits in most
standard 19-inch racks.
The BlackDiamond chassis is shipped empty; you must install the power supply and
module cards after rack-mounting the empty chassis.
Rack-mount the chassis before installing any BlackDiamond components.
To install the BlackDiamond, follow these steps:
1 Mount the helper bracket in the rack using four appropriate rack-mounting screws,
as shown in Figure 2-1.
