Installing a Summit Port Option Card

CAUTION

Summit port option cards are not hot-swappable. Disconnect power to the switch before installing or removing a Summit option card. After the Summit port option card is installed in a compatible switch, you can hot-swap pluggable optical modules. Use only optical modules approved by Extreme Networks.

You need the following tools and equipment to install a Summit option card:

●ESD-preventive wrist strap

●# 1 Phillips screwdriver

CAUTION

Be sure that proper ESD controls are in use before switch maintenance is performed. This includes but is not limited to wrist straps that are grounded to the switch chassis and earth grounds.

All Summit port option cards are installed the same way. The instructions in this section apply to all option cards for the Summit X350, X450a, and X450e series switches.

To install the Summit port option card:

1Disconnect the AC power and any redundant power supply from the Summit switch.

2Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to the equipment rack.

3Remove the screws holding the filler panel over the option slot on the back of the switch (Figure 169). Remove the filler panel and set it aside. Save the screws for re-use.
