Safety Information
Correct lifting procedures for the BlackDiamond 8810 chassis require two or more people.
Only trained service personnel should perform service to Extreme Networks switches and their
components. Trained service personnel have read all related installation manuals, have the technical
training and experience necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed in performing a
task, and are aware of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other persons.
See Appendix A, “Safety Information” for additional safety information and Appendix B, “Technical Specifications”
for additional information regarding regulatory compliance certifications.
The BlackDiamond 8810 chassis should be empty before being lifted. This will also prevent damage to the system
components due to possible system chassis flex when lifting.
