NOTE
Optional external redundant power supplies are available for use with the Summit X150 series switches. When a
redundant power supply is used with a Summit X150 series switch, the power supplies (internal and redundant) are
fully fault tolerant and load-sharing. If one power supply fails, the other power supply will provide sufficient power to
operate the switch. The Summit X150-24t and X150-48t switches use the EPS-160 for redundant power; the
Summit X150-24p switch uses the EPS-500 for redundant power. Refer to the Summit Family Switches Hardware
Installation Guide for further details.
Safety
Only trained service personnel should perform service to Extreme Networks switches and their
components. Trained service personnel have read all related installation manuals, have the technical
training and experience necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed in performing a
task, and are aware of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other persons.
Before installing a Summit X150 series switch into your network:
●Read the latest installation and safety information provided in the Summit Family Switches Hardware
Installation Guide.
●See Appendix A of the Summit Family Switches Hardware Installation Guide for additional information
regarding regulatory compliance certifications.

5Insert the switch into the rack.
●Take care to load the rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start installing equipment at the bottom and
work up.
●Do not cover vents that would restrict airflow. Leave half a rack space between adjacent units for
adequate ventilation.
6Secure the switch to the rack using suitable screws (not provided).
Free-Standing and Desktop Mounting of Multiple Switches
The Summit X150 series switch is supplied with four self-adhesive rubber pads. Apply the pads to the
underside of the switch in the marked area at each corner. Make sure that all corners are aligned. You
can safely place up to four Summit X150 series switches on top of one another.
Connecting Power
Connect the provided AC power cord to the input connector on the back of the switch. Then connect
the cord to an AC power outlet.
You can connect the Summit X150 series switch to an optional external redundant power module to
provide backup power for the internal power supply. If you are using the EPS-160 power supply, install
and connect it as described in the EPS-160 Installation Note. If you are using the EPS-500 power supply,
install and connect it as described in the EPS-500 External Power Supply Installation and Removal Note.
