Attaching the BlackDiamond 8810 Mid-Mount Rack
Brackets
To install the BlackDiamond 8810 switch in a mid-mount position in the rack, attach the optional
BlackDiamond 8810 mid-mount brackets.
The BlackDiamond 8810 chassis weighs almost 80 pounds. Proper lifting and moving of the chassis requires two
people.
To attach the BlackDiamond 8810 mid-mount brackets:
1 Set the empty chassis in an upright position on a secure flat surface.
2 Determine the position for the mid-mount brackets.
Each side of the chassis has two sets of mounting holes to provide two positions for attaching the mid-mount
brackets.
3 Identify the left and right brackets.
Each mid-mount bracket is clearly marked for placement on either the right or left side, as viewed
from the front of the chassis.
4 On each side of the chassis, attach the appropriate mid-mount bracket using the eight mounting
screws provided in the kit (see Figure 50).
