About This Guide
This guide describes how to prepare your site and how to install, maintain, and operate your Extreme
Networks switch. It contains information on features that are common to all switches, as well as
switch-specific features. This guide contains six parts:
•Preparing for Installation—Describes the “e” series of Summit switches. This section introduces the
Summit 200, Summit 300 and Summit 400 models that comprise the “e” series. It also describes how
to evaluate, plan, and determine the best location for your Extreme Networks switch.
•Switch Overview—Describes the physical characteristics of each of the “e” series, including the front
view, rear view, and LED behaviors.
•Switch Installation—Describes the installation process that is shared by the “e” series of Summit
switches. This section describes rack installation, mini-GBIC installation, connecting to the console
port and installation verification. It also includes the procedure for logging into the switch for the
first time.
•Accessory Installation:
—Summit 200—Describes the optional features and their installation that are specific to the
Summit 200 switch.
—Summit 300—Describes the optional features and their installation that are specific to the
Summit 300 switch.
—Summit 400—Describes the optional features and their installation that are specific to the
Summit 400-48t switch.
•Appendixes—Describes safety requirements and technical specifications.
How To Use This Guide
Each chapter of this guide contains information on how to successfully operate your Extreme Networks
switch. The model-specific chapters contain information that is applicable to that Summit switch only.
All other chapters are applicable to any Extreme Networks switch.

Preface
Switch-Specific Information
For switch-specific information, be sure to read the applicable model-specific chapter. For example, if
you have a Summit 400-48t switch and you need to set up a combination port, “Uplink Redundancy”
on page 61 for specific details for cabling combination ports.
Common Information
For items applicable to any Extreme Networks switch, make sure you read the appropriate chapter. For
example, to learn how to prepare your site for installing your Extreme Networks equipment, see
Chapter 2, “Site Preparation.”
This guide also contains appendices that describe:
•Switch safety issues
•Switch specifications
Appendix A, “Safety Information” describes important safety issues such as power, power cables, and
fuses.
Appendix B, ““e” Series Technical Specifications” is organized according to the model of Summit
switch. This appendix describes switch specifications such as physical dimensions, weight, certifications,
and power supply parameters.
Information that is common to all switches is described at the beginning of the appendix.
