Convention Description
Screen displays This typeface represents information as it appears on the screen,
or command syntax.
Screen displays bold This typeface represents commands that you type.
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.

Preface
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 about features that are common to all switches, as well as
switch-specific features. This guide contains seven parts:
•Common Features—Describes features that are shared by the Extreme Networks family of switches.
This section describes software images, full-duplex support, management ports, and mini-GBIC and
GBIC modules.
•Site Planning—Describes how to evaluate, plan, and determine the location of your Extreme
Networks switch.
•Summit Switch—Describes the features that are specific to the Summit switch. This section provides
an overview of the Summit switches, information about model types, descriptions of features, and
installation instructions.
•Alpine Switch—Describes the features that are specific to the Alpine switch. This section provides an
overview of the Alpine switch, information about model types, descriptions of features, and
installation instructions.
•BlackDiamond Switch—Describes the features that are specific to the BlackDiamond switch. This
section provides an overview of the BlackDiamond switch, information about model types,
descriptions of features, and installation instructions.
•Switch Operation—Describes how to power on any Extreme Networks switch, verify the switch
installation, connect equipment to the console port, and log in to the switch for the first time.
•Appendixes—Include information about safety requirements, technical specifications, and
specialized installation instructions.
How To Use This Guide
Each chapter of this guide contains information about how to successfully operate your Extreme
Networks switch. The chapters with Summit, Alpine, or BlackDiamond in the titles contain information
that is applicable only to that family of switch. All other chapters are applicable to any Extreme
Networks “i” series or “e” series switches.
Switch-Specific Information
For switch-specific information, be sure to read the applicable switch-specific chapter. For example, if
you have a BlackDiamond switch and you need to remove and replace an I/O module, see “Replacing
I/O Modules” in Chapter 16 for details about how to remove and replace an I/O module in a
BlackDiamond chassis.
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.”
