Switch Overview

The BlackDiamond X8 series switches are chassis-based switches designed for virtualized data centers

and high-performance compute cluster installations. They provide high-density, line rate 10/40 GbE

ports. For more information about configuring a BlackDiamond switch, see the ExtremeXOS Concepts

Guide and the ExtremeXOS Command Reference Guide.

The features of these switches include:

•I/O modules that are hot-swappable and provide 10-Gigabit fiber or copper ports, or 40-Gigabit

Ethernet fiber ports using SFP+ or QSFP+ optical modules

•Up to 768 line-rate 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports or 192 line-rate 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports in one

chassis

•Redundant management modules that provide the CPU control subsystem

•N+1 redundant switch fabric modules that provide the active switching fabric

•Redundant, load-sharing, hot-swappable power supplies

•Field-replaceable, hot-swappable fan trays

•20+ Tbps switching capacity

•1.28 Tbps bandwidth per slot

BlackDiamond X8 Chassis Features

The BlackDiamond X8 switch chassis has the following physical features:

•Height of 14.5 RU, allowing three switches to be installed in a 7-foot rack

•Optional mid-mount brackets for flexibility in rack positioning

•Horizontal front slots for I/O modules and management modules

•Eight full-width slots for IO modules

•Two half-width slots for management modules (MMs)

•Four vertical slots in the back (behind fan trays) for fabric modules (FMs)

•Eight bays in the front for redundant power supplies; rear-accessible power connections

•Five vertical fan trays at the back

•Two connectors for an ESD-preventive wrist strap

•On the front panel between the management modules

•On the back panel at the top right corner

The Front of the BlackDiamond X8 Chassis shows a BlackDiamond X8 chassis equipped with

management modules and I/O modules.

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

The back of the chassis provides access to:

•Eight AC power input connectors

•Five vertical fan trays

•Access to four fabric module slots behind the fan trays

•Connection point for ESD-preventive strap

•Attachment point for optional chassis ground

Management Ports

Each BlackDiamond management module (MM) has a 10/100/1000BASE-TX Ethernet management

port.

BlackDiamond X8 Series Switches

BlackDiamond X8 Series Switches Hardware Installation Manual 9

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.

USB ports on the management module allow you to attach a single USB 2.0 flash drive. Only a USB

flash drive that is formatted using the file allocation table (FAT) file system is recognized on these

ports. Other devices, such as a USB external hard drive, will not be mounted.
