your network. The BlackDiamond 6800 series switches are flexible and scalable, making it easy for you 
to meet the changing requirements of your network. Three models exist:

The BlackDiamond 6816 20-slot chassis, which can be populated with up to 16 input/output (I/O) 
modules and four Management Switch Fabric Modules (MSM64i modules)

The BlackDiamond 6808 10-slot chassis, which can be populated with up to eight I/O modules and 
two MSM64i modules

The BlackDiamond 6804 6-slot chassis, which can be populated with up to four I/O modules and 
two MSM64i modules

The combination of BlackDiamond, Alpine, and Summit switches delivers a consistent end-to-end 
network solution that provides a nonblocking architecture, wire-speed switching, wire-speed IP routing,
