Installation Site Requirements

The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and 
meet the requirements listed below:

Appropriate grounded power receptacles must be located within 6 
feet of the site.

A temperature of between 0°C (32°F) and 50°C (122°F) must be 
maintained at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C 
(18°F) per hour.

Installing the system as described in this guide meets the protective 
earth grounding requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) 
UL 60950 and IEC 60950 standards. If it is necessary to use an 
alternative grounding method, connect a 14 AWG wire between the 
ground screw on the chassis and a nearby building ground point. 

Handling the Switch

To prevent electrostatic damage, attach an electrostatic discharge 
(ESD) wrist strap to your wrist before handling the switch.
Unpack the switch as follows:
1

Remove the packing material protecting the switch.

2 Remove the tape seal on the non-conductive bag to remove the 

switch.

3 Perform a visual inspection of the switch for any signs of physical 

damage. Contact Extreme Networks if there are any signs of 
damage. See 

“Getting Help”

 for more information on contacting

Non-PoE Switch

Installing the Summit X450-G2 Series Switch

You can install a Summit X450-G2 Series switch in a rack. There are four 
possible rack mounting configurations, depending upon whether:

The switch I/O ports or the power supply side of the device face 
front

The device is mounted flush with the rack posts or mid-mounted

Stacking Switches

Up to eight X450-G2 Series switches can be stacked together and 
connected, allowing the entire stack to operate with a single IP address. 
You can use the following ports for stacking:

21Gb QSFP+ stacking ports

 (

Figure 2

, callout 7)—For non-PoE 

X450-G2 Series switches only. The stacking ports require QSFP+ 
direct attach passive copper cables, which are available in multiple 
lengths. You must order these cables separately.

Front panel 1GbE or 10GbE ports

 (

Figure 1

 callout 5)—Use two of 

the front panel 1GbE SFP or 10GbE SFP+ ports. If your Summit 
X450-G2 Series switch has 10GbE ports, you can use SummitStack-
V to create a stack that includes other Summit switch models 
equipped with 10GbE SFP+ ports. 

For complete information about stacking, refer to the 

Extreme 

Networks Summit Family Hardware Installation Guide.

Securing the Switch to the Rack

To secure the Summit X450-G2 Series switch to the rack:
1

Attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the switch using six 
screws for each bracket. 

2 Align the rack mount ear holes with the front rack post holes.
3 Secure the Summit X450-G2 Series switches to each rack post with 

at least two screws or fasteners appropriate to the rack.

Installing Pluggable Transceivers

To install a transceiver in a Summit X450-G2 Series switch:
1

Attach the anti-static wrist strap. Refer to the instructions on the 
anti-static wrist strap package.

2 Carefully align the transceiver with the port slot and push the 

transceiver into the port slot until the transceiver clicks and locks 
into place.

Installing the Fan Tray

To install the front-to-back fan tray in a Summit X450-G2 Series switch:
1

Carefully slide the fan tray module into the switch (see 

Figure 2

callout 8).

2 Align and fully tighten the captive retaining screws with a 1/4-inch 

flat-blade screwdriver.

Caution: 

Before rack-mounting the device, ensure that the rack can 

support it without compromising stability. Otherwise, personal 
injury and/or equipment damage may result.

Note: 

The rack mounting brackets provide two holes for securing 

the Summit X450-G2 Series switch to the rack. Use two screws or 
fasteners appropriate to your rack on each side when securing the 
X450-G2 Series switch to the rack.
We recommend that you install the power supplies in the Summit 
X450-G2 Series switch after you have secured the switch to the rack 
to minimize weight that must be supported when installing rack 
screws.

Note: 

If using one power supply, you can install it in either of the two 

power supply bays. Insert a blank cover, provided with the switch, on 
the unused power supply bay.

Connecting Power to the Switch

PoE+ Switches

After you have installed the power supply modules, you can connect to 
a single, primary source of power, or to two sources of power for 
redundancy. 
To power-up your X450-G2 Series switch:
1

Attach the power cord from your redundant power supply into the 
X450-G2 Series switch’s power supply receptacle. 

2 Once power is connected, verify that the PSU LED (P1 and/or P2) 

turns green. If the PSU LED does not turn green, refer to the 

Extreme 

Networks Summit Family Hardware Installation Guide

 for 

troubleshooting information.

Non-PoE Switches

You can connect to a single, primary source of power, or to two sources 
of power for redundancy. The example used here describes connecting 
to two power sources.
To power-up your X450-G2 Series switch:
1

Attach the power cord from your redundant power supply into the 
X450-G2 Series switch’s redundant power receptacle.

2 Attach the AC power cord to the X450-G2 Series switch’s AC power 

receptacle.

3 Plug the redundant power supply and the X450-G2 Series switch AC 

power cords into dedicated, grounded AC outlets.

4 Once power is connected, verify that the CPU (system) LED turns 

amber until the X450-G2 Series switch finishes its initialization.

If the initialization process is successful, the CPU LED turns green. If the 
CPU LED does not turn green, refer to the 

Extreme Networks Summit 

Family Hardware Installation Guide

 for troubleshooting information.
