Summit 450 W DC power supplies are compatible with the Summit X480 series switches and with
Summit X670 series switches that have front-to-back ventilation airflow. The Summit 550 W DC power
supplies are compatible only with Summit X670 series switches. The 550 W DC power supplies are
available in versions for switches with either front-to-back or back-to-front airflow.
