Considerations Before Installing
Consider the following items before installing equipment.
● The system is designed to operate in a typical Telco environmentally controlled environment, such as
a dedicated equipment room, equipment closet, or central office. Choose a site that is:
■ Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
■ Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
■ Secured, enclosed, and restricted-access, ensuring that only trained and qualified service
personnel have access to the equipment.
● In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, Extreme Networks recommends that you plug
your system into a surge suppressor.
● Install equipment into the lower half of the rack first to avoid making the rack top heavy.
● Establish at least 5 inches clearance on all sides for effective ventilation. Do not obstruct the air
intake vent on the front, side, or rear ventilation grills. Locate the system away from heat sources.
● Make sure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power consumption and
component heat dissipation specifications.
● Make sure that your power supplies meet the site power or AC power requirements of the all
network equipment.
● The BlackDiamond 20808 switch produces a noise level of 70.6 dBA under normal conditions and a
maximum noise level up to 82.4 dBA.
