Extreme Networks Consolidated ExtremeXOS Hardware Installation Guide 15
Preface
This preface provides an overview of this guide, describes guide conventions, and lists other
publications that might be useful.
WARNING!
Service to all equipment should be performed by trained and qualified service personnel only. Before installing or
removing any components of the system, or before carrying out any maintenance procedures, you must thoroughly
read the safety information provided in Appendix A of this guide. Failure to follow this safety information can lead to
personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Introduction
This guide provides the required information to install Extreme Networks® BlackDiamond®8800 series
switches, BlackDiamond 10808 switches, BlackDiamond 12800 series switches, and the Summit®family
of switches, including the Summit X250e series, Summit X450 series, Summit X450a series, and Summit
X450e series. This guide also contains information about site preparation, switch functionality, and
switch operation.
NOTE
The Summit X250e series switches, Summit X450 series switches, Summit X450e series switches, and Summit
X450a series switches are called the Summit family of switches when referred to collectively.
This guide is intended for use by network administrators responsible for installing and setting up
network equipment. It assumes a basic working knowledge of:
●Local area networks (LANs)
●Ethernet concepts
●Ethernet switching and bridging concepts
●Routing concepts
●Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
See the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide and the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Command Reference Guide for
information about configuring Extreme Networks BlackDiamond 8800 series switches, BlackDiamond
10808 switches, BlackDiamond 12800 series switches, or Summit family switches.
NOTE
If the information in the installation note or release note shipped with your Extreme Networks switch differs from the
information in this guide, follow the installation or release note.

Table 2: Text conventions
Convention Description
Screen displays This typeface represents information as it appears on the screen, or command
syntax.
The words “enter”
and “type”
When you see the word “enter” in this guide, you must type something, and then
press the Return or Enter key. Do not press the Return or Enter key when an
instruction simply says “type.”
[Key] names Key names appear in text in one of two ways:
• Referenced by their labels, such as “the Return key” or “the Escape key”
• Written with brackets, such as [Return] or [Esc]
If you must press two or more keys simultaneously, the key names are linked with a
plus sign (+). Example:
Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del].
Words in italicized type Italics emphasize a point of information or denote new terms at the place where
they are defined in the text.
