Extreme Networks XENPAK Transceivers

This section describes installing and removing the XENPAK module (XENPAK Module). You can install or remove the XENPAK module from your Extreme Networks switch without powering off the system.

Note

On a Summit X450 series, X450a series, or X450e series switch, the XENPAK module is inserted into an optional module card. Although the module card is not hot-swappable, you can hot swap the XENPAK into and out of the module card on the Summit. For information about the optional module card for XENPAKs on a Summit X450 series, X450a series, or X450e series switch, see the Summit Family Switches Hardware Installation Guide.
