2-6 Extreme Networks Consolidated Hardware Guide
Site Preparation
• Keep the ventilation in the wiring closet running during nonbusiness hours;
otherwise, the equipment can overheat.
• Maintain ambient operating temperature: 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C)
• Maintain storage Temperature: -40° to 158° F (-40° to 70° C)
Note: Like all electrical equipment, product lifetimes degrade with increased
temperature. If possible, temperatures should be kept at approximately 78° F
(25° C) or lower.
BlackDiamond 6816 Spacing Requirements. Due to chassis-to-chassis heating,
Extreme Networks recommends placing no more than three BlackDiamond 6816 chassis
next to each other.
The following are some general recommendations for installing your BlackDiamond
6816 chassis:
• A minimum of 17.32 inches (44 cm)
between each set of three BlackDiamond 6816
chassis.
Or
• Place front-back cooled equipment, such as a BlackDiamond 6808 chassis, between
each set of three BlackDiamond 6816 chassis.
Or
• Place patch panels, which are used to patch cables together, between each set of
three BlackDiamond 6816 chassis. A patch panel does not require any power and
does not generate any heat.
Note: Up to five adjacent BlackDiamond 6816 chassis will continue to function
without safety concerns. However, product lifetime may degrade with continued
exposure to high temperatures in close proximity and long term reliability may be
compromised.
Air flow Requirements. To ensure proper air flow through an Extreme Networks
switch, refer to the following recommendations when you are installing your switch:
• The Summit family of switches require 3 inches (7.62 cm) on both the left and right
sides of the switch (5 inches (12.7 cm) recommended) for proper air flow.
• The Alpine 3800 series chassis require 3 inches (7.62 cm) on both the left and right
sides of the switch (5 inches (12.7 cm) recommended) for proper air flow.
