BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide
101
Minimum Software Requirements
The Extreme Networks power supplies have the following minimum software requirements:
● 600/900 W AC power supply
For the system to recognize a 600/900 W AC power supply, the MSM installed in your
BlackDiamond 8806 switch requires ExtremeXOS version 11.6.1 (or later). In ExtremeXOS releases
11.3.4, 11.4.2, and 11.5.1, the 600/900 W AC power supply is disabled on all chassis. In ExtremeXOS
releases earlier than those, the software does not recognize the 600/900 W AC power supply and the
power supply will not be budgeted properly, possibly resulting in power supply shutdown and/or
chassis reboot.
● 700/1200 W AC power supply
The 700/1200 W AC power supply is supported by all versions of ExtremeXOS software.
● 1200 W DC power supply
For the system to recognize the 1200 W DC power supply, the MSM in your BlackDiamond 8800
series switch must be running ExtremeXOS version 11.3 or later.
Power Supply Cords for AC Power Supplies
The AC power supplies used with the BlackDiamond 8800 series switches can use either 110 V AC or
220 V AC power supply cords. Table 20 shows the maximum DC power output allowed by these power
cords when used with each AC power supply.
Power supply cords are not shipped with the AC power supplies. To purchase an AC power cord,
contact your local Extreme Networks Channel Account Manager or Sales Manager, or purchase a cord
from your local supplier. The power cord must meet the requirements listed in “Selecting Power Supply
Cords” on page 177.
Be sure that the source outlet is properly grounded before plugging the AC power cord into the Extreme
Networks AC power supply.
