The ExtremeSwitching 5320 Series is a family of feature-rich edge switches designed for the next-
generation digital enterprise. The 5320 Series universal hardware provides end-to-end secure network
segmentation, in addition to advanced policy capabilities, and oers a user-selectable choice of
Extreme’s flagship switch operating systems. The 5320 is a uniquely flexible platform that can be
deployed across a range of edge and wiring-closet environments.
The 5320 Series includes fixed 16, 24- and 48-port 1 Gigabit models that are available in 30W PoE and
non-PoE versions. The integrated 1Gb SFP uplinks can be upgraded to 10Gb through a single software
license. Two built-in SFP+ stacking ports on 5320 Series switches can be used for high-speed stacking
when running Switch Engine (stacking is not supported when running Fabric Engine™). The family also
includes 16-port PoE models available with either AC or DC power options.
The 5320 Series includes the following models:

•5320-24T-8XE Switch Features on page 14

•5320-16P-4XE-DC Switch Features on page 17
Management
An RJ45 serial console port on the front panel of the 5320 Series switch enables you to connect a
terminal and perform local management. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect the
front panel port directly to a laptop to view and locally manage the switch configuration. The 5320
Series does not have a dedicated Ethernet port for Out-of-Band (OOB) management. The front panel
port used for management supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
10 ExtremeSwitching 5320 Series Hardware Installation Guide

There is one Micro-B USB console port on the front panel. If the Micro-B USB console port is connected,
it is selected over the RJ45 console port. The Micro-B USB console port disconnects when the switch is
rebooted. You can re-connect the port if needed. When the Micro-B USB console is active, any
messages from the switch to the client terminal are echoed to both the USB console and the RJ45 serial
port; however, no user input is accepted from the RJ45 serial port.
Tip
Using a Micro-USB Type B to USB Type A cable, connect the Micro-USB Type B end to the
switch, and the USB Type A end to a laptop or PC and complete the driver installation steps.
There is also a USB 2.0 Type A port. It can be used for a Bluetooth dongle or for attaching a removable
memory module.
Cooling
Switch cooling is provided by fixed fan modules that use airflow from side-to-side (left to right). Switch
fans are also responsible for cooling the power supplies; the power supplies do not have integrated
cooling fans that operate independently of the switch fan.
Fan-o operation at temperatures up to 35⁰C is supported on 5320 16-port AC- and DC-powered
models. These models are perfect for classrooms, hospitality suites, retail sites, or other noise sensitive
environments outside of a wiring closet.
Power Supplies
Most 5320 Series switches have one fixed AC power supply unit. The 5320-16P-4XE-DC switch has one
fixed DC power supply unit.
Stacking
Each 5320 Series switch comes equipped with two 10Gb stacking ports. When running Switch Engine,
up to eight switches can be stacked using qualified SFP+ direct attach cables and optical transceivers
located on the front panel of the switch. Standard 10 Gb Ethernet Optics and passive and active cables
can be used in the SFP+ ports for stacking 5320s together using SummitStack-V40 stacking (10G link
running at HG).
Note
The two stacking/SFP+ ports are “Universal Ethernet” ports, labeled “U1” and “U2.” These
ports can operate either as stacking ports with Switch Engine or as Ethernet ports with
Switch Engine and with Fabric Engine in non-fabric mode. When used as Ethernet ports, the
U1 and U2 ports can support data rates of 10Gb using SFP+ optics and the appropriate license.
No license is required to use the U1 and U2 ports as 10Gb stacking ports, or as 1Gb ports with
stacking disabled.
Use the disable stacking-support command to set the U1 and U2 ports in Ethernet
mode.
Stacking cables for 5320 Series switches are ordered separately.
For information about SFP+ optical modules, see the Extreme Optics website.

Operating Temperatures
All 5320 Series switch models support an operating range from 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F). The
5320-16P-4XE models, both AC and DC, and fan o, support an operating range from 0°C (32°F) to
35°C (95°F).
Feature Licensing
The ExtremeSwitching 5320 Series switches support Unified Licensing, so that you can use them with
multiple operating systems. There are two methods of acquiring feature licenses: manual or through
ExtremeCloud IQ™ (XIQ).
For Switch Engine licensing, see ExtremeXOS and Switch Engine 31.6 Feature License Requirements.
For Fabric Engine licensing, see the Fabric Engine User Guide for your version of the Fabric Engine
operating system located at http://documentation.extremenetworks.com/FABRICENGINE/SW/86/
FabricEngineUserGuide/.
For XIQ licensing, see ExtremeCloud IQ Documentation.

By carefully planning your site, you can maximize the performance of your existing network and ensure
that it is ready to migrate to future networking technologies.
The information in this chapter is intended for the system administrator, network equipment technician,
network manager, or facilities manager responsible for installing and managing the network hardware.
The chapter assumes a working knowledge of local area network (LAN) operations, and a familiarity
with communications protocols that are used on interconnected LANs.
Only qualified service personnel should install, maintain, or remove a switch, chassis, or its components.
Qualified service personnel have had appropriate technical training and experience that is necessary to
be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed when performing a task and of measures to
minimize the danger to themselves or other people.
Note
Before installing or removing any components of the system, and before carrying out any
maintenance procedures, read the safety information in "Technical Specifications."
Plan Your Site
To install your equipment successfully, you should plan the site carefully. The site planning process has
three major parts:
1. Meeting site requirements.
The physical installation site must meet the following requirements for a safe and successful
installation:
•Building and electrical code requirements
•Environmental, safety, and thermal requirements for the equipment you plan to install
•Equipment rack requirements
2. Evaluating and meeting cable requirements.
ExtremeSwitching 5320 Series Hardware Installation Guide 19

After examining your physical site and verifying that all environment requirements are met, evaluate
and compare your existing cable plant with the requirements of the Extreme Networks equipment to
determine if you need to install new cables.
3. Meeting power requirements.
To run your equipment safely, you must meet the specific power requirements for each switch and
external power supply unit installed in the system.
For power specifications of the switches, see the specific switch listings in "Technical Specifications."
Operating Environment Requirements
Verify that your site meets all environmental and safety requirements.
Virtually all areas of the United States are regulated by building codes and standards. During the early
planning stages of installing or modifying your network, it is important that you develop a thorough
understanding of the regulations that pertain to your location and industry.
Meet Building and Electrical Codes
Building and electrical codes vary depending on your location. Comply with all code specifications
when planning your site and installing cable. This section lists resources for obtaining additional
information.
For information about major building codes, consult the following organization:
