Extreme Networks Px Series Determining the Location, Installing the SummitPx1 Application Switch

Determining the Location

The SummitPx1 is suited for use in the office, where it can be free-standing or mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, the device can be rack-mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. Two mounting brackets are supplied with the device.

When deciding where to install the SummitPx1, ensure that:

•The unit is accessible and cables can be connected easily.

•Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.

•Air-flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. You should provide a minimum of 25mm (1-inch) clearance.

•No objects are placed on top of the unit.

•Units are not stacked more than four high if the switch is free-standing.

Installing the SummitPx1 Application Switch

The application switch can be mounted in a rack or placed free-standing on a tabletop.

Rack Mounting

Caution: The rack mount kits must not be used to suspend the switch from under a table or desk, or to attach to a wall.

To rack mount the application switch, follow these steps:

1Place the device the right way up on a hard, flat surface, with the front facing you.

2Remove the existing screws from the sides of the chassis and retain for step 4.

3Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.

4Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver, as shown in Figure 2-3.
