BlackDiamond 12800 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide

For power specifications of the BlackDiamond 12800 series switches, see 

Use an AC power cable appropriate for your country. Check your local electrical codes and regulatory 
agencies for power cable requirements. The countries listed in 

 have additional requirements as 

listed in the table.

If the power cable plug is unsuitable and must be replaced, connect the power supply wires for the 
switch according to the following scheme:

●

Brown wire to the Live (Line) plug terminal, which may be marked with the letter “L” or colored 
red.

●

Blue wire to the Neutral plug terminal, which may be marked with the letter “N” or colored black.

●

Yellow/Green wire to the Ground plug terminal, which may be marked with the letter “E” (the 
Earth symbol) or colored yellow/green.

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device that sits between a power supply (such as a wall 
outlet) and a device (such as a switch) to prevent outages, sags, surges, and bad harmonics from 
adversely affecting the performance of the device.

A UPS traditionally can perform the following functions: 

●

Absorb relatively small power surges. 

●

Smooth out noisy power sources. 

●

Continue to provide power to equipment during line sags.
