For instructions to install the BlackDiamond X8 chassis, see Chapter 5.
Chapter 1: BlackDiamond X8 Series Switches BlackDiamond X8 Chassis The BlackDiamond X8 switch chassis (Figure 1) has the following physical features: ● Height of 14.
BlackDiamond X8 Chassis The front of the chassis provides access to: ● Card cage for the management modules and I/O modules ● Bays for redundant power supplies, with ventilated cover ● Connection point for ESD-preventive strap Figure 2 shows the back of the BlackDiamond X8 chassis.
Chapter 1: BlackDiamond X8 Series Switches Management Ports Each BlackDiamond management module (MM) has a 10/100/1000BASE-TX Ethernet management port. This port allows you to communicate directly with the central processing unit (CPU) of the switch. You can plug an Ethernet cable directly from your laptop into the management port for direct access into the switch. This access allows you to view and locally manage the switch configurations.
2 BlackDiamond X8 Series Modules and Fans CHAPTER This chapter includes the following sections: ● Overview of the BlackDiamond X8 Modules on page 17 ● Management Module on page 18 ● I/O Modules on page 21 ● Fabric Modules on page 25 ● Fan Trays on page 26 Overview of the BlackDiamond X8 Modules Modules for the BlackDiamond X8 series switch include management modules, I/O modules, and switch fabric modules.
Chapter 2: BlackDiamond X8 Series Modules and Fans Management Module The BlackDiamond X8 series switch has two dedicated management module slots, labeled A and B, for the BDX-MM1 management module. One management module is required for switch operation; however, adding a second management module increases system availability through redundancy. Each management module contains a temperature sensor, nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), and a real-time clock.
Management Module ● Console port—The RJ-45 serial console port is used to connect a terminal, allowing you to perform local management.
Chapter 2: BlackDiamond X8 Series Modules and Fans Management Module LEDs LEDs on the management module (Table 4) provide status information about operation of the switch and major chassis components. Table 4: LEDs on the BDX-MM1 Management Module Label/Function Color/State Meaning ERR Amber/steady A critical software error has been logged since power-up. Error Off Normal operation is occurring. ENV Green/steady The system is operating within the defined operational limits.
I/O Modules I/O Modules The following I/O modules are available for the BlackDiamond X8 switch: ● BDXA-10G48X ● BDXA-40G24X ● BDXA-40G12X No configuration information is stored on the I/O modules; all configuration information is stored on the management modules. When a BlackDiamond X8 series switch is powered on, the software generates a default configuration for any slots that contain I/O modules. The default configuration allows the I/O module ports to participate in the VLAN named default.
Chapter 2: BlackDiamond X8 Series Modules and Fans BlackDiamond BDXA-40G24X I/O Module The BDXA-40G24X I/O module (Figure 5) has 24 unpopulated QSFP+-based 40-gigabit Ethernet ports. Each installed QSFP+ optical module can operate as a single 40-gigabit port or as four 10-gigabit ports. In 40G port mode, the module provides 24 ports; if all ports are operating in 10G mode, the module provides 96 ports. When the ports are operating in 40-Gbps mode, the port numbers increment by 4.
I/O Modules BlackDiamond BDXA-40G12X I/O Module The BDXA-40G12X I/O module (Figure 6) has 12 unpopulated QSFP+-based 40-gigabit Ethernet ports. Each installed QSFP+ optical module can operate as a single 40-gigabit port or as four 10-gigabit ports. In 40G port mode, the module provides 12 ports; if all ports are operating in 10G mode, the module provides 48 ports. When the ports are operating in 40-Gbps mode, the port numbers increment by 4.
Chapter 2: BlackDiamond X8 Series Modules and Fans I/O Module LEDs LEDs on the front panel of the BlackDiamond X8 series I/O modules (Table 5) provide information about the operating status of the module and ports. Table 5: LEDs on the BlackDiamond X8 Series I/O Modules Type Label/Function Color/State Meaning STAT Green/blinking Normal operation. Module status Amber/blinking Configuration error, code version error, diagnostic failure, or other severe module error.
Fabric Modules Fabric Modules Up to four fabric modules (Figure 7) can be installed in each BlackDiamond X8 chassis to provide the active switching fabric for the switch. The switch fabric supports N+1 redundancy. Three fabric modules are required to provide full switch fabric capacity. The fourth module provides excess capacity but is not required to maintain full line rate on the front-panel ports. Fabric modules are installed in dedicated slots at the back of the chassis, behind the fan trays.
Chapter 2: BlackDiamond X8 Series Modules and Fans Fan Trays At the back of the BlackDiamond X8 chassis are five vertical fan trays, each holding six fans (Figure 8). Fan trays are hot-swappable. Two pairs of LEDs on each fan tray indicate operating status for the fabric module installed behind that fan tray (Table 6 on page 25) and for the fan tray (Table 7). Only the first four fan trays are associated with fabric modules.

Meeting Site Requirements Table 9: Authorities on Electrical Codes Organization Address Web Site URL National Electrical Code (NEC) Classification (USA only) NFPA 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, Massachusetts 02169 USA http://www.nfpa.org UL 333 Pfingsten Road Northbrook, Illinois 60062-2096 USA http://www.ul.com NEMA 1300 N. 17th Street Rosslyn, Virginia 22209 USA http://www.nema.org EIA 2500 Wilson Boulevard Arlington, Virginia 22201 USA http://www.eia.org FCC 445 12th Street S.W. Washington, D.
Chapter 4: Site Preparation Wiring Closet Considerations Be aware of the following recommendations for your wiring closet: ● Be sure that your system is easily accessible for installation and service. See “Rack Specifications and Recommendations” on page 37 for information. ● Use appropriate AC or DC power, power distribution, and grounding for your specific installation. ● Use a vinyl floor covering in your wiring closet. (Concrete floors accumulate dust, and carpets can cause static electricity.
Meeting Site Requirements Humidity To maximize equipment life, keep operating humidity between 50% and 70% relative humidity (non-condensing) during typical operation. The equipment can operate between 10% and 95% relative humidity (non-condensing) for short intervals.
Chapter 4: Site Preparation Mechanical Recommendations for the Rack Use equipment racks that meet the following mechanical recommendations: ● Use an open style, 19-inch rack to facilitate easy maintenance and to provide proper ventilation. ● Use a rack made of steel or aluminum. ● The rack should use the universal mounting rail hole pattern that is identified in IEC Standard 297. ● The rack should have designated earth grounding connections (typically on the base).
Meeting Site Requirements Space Requirements for the Rack Provide enough space in front of and behind the switch so that you can service it easily. Allow a minimum of 48 inches (122 cm) in front of the rack and 24 inches (61 cm) behind the rack. When using a relay (two-post) rack, provide a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) of space behind the mounted equipment. Extra room on each side is optional. Securing the Rack The rack should be attached to the wiring closet floor with 3/8-inch (9.
Chapter 4: Site Preparation Evaluating and Meeting Cable Requirements This section describes requirements for the cable you should use when installing your network equipment.
Evaluating and Meeting Cable Requirements Cable Distances This section provides information to help you select the cables to be used with the BlackDiamond X8 series switch.
