Overview of the Summit Switches
The Summit family switches are compact enclosures 1.75 inches high (1 U). They provide 24 or 48
high-density copper or fiber optic ports operating at speeds up to 10 Gbps, with combination
copper/fiber uplink ports. PoE connections and options for adding 10-Gbps or 100 Gbps uplink
connections are available on some models. Many Summit switches include high-speed stacking
interfaces that allow you to connect up to eight Summit switches into a single SummitStack
™
management entity. Summit models are available for AC or DC power connection; all Summit switches
make provision for redundant power supplies. Most models have connections for optional external
redundant power supplies; the Summit X480 series and X650 series switches provide two bays for
pluggable power supplies.
Most Summit models are available in versions that are compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA);
these versions are identified by a -TAA suffix on the model number. Functionally, the TAA-compliant
models are completely equivalent to the matching versions that are not TAA-compliant. In all feature
descriptions, references to a specific Summit switch model also apply to the equivalent TAA-compliant
model.
Table 3 and Table 4 on page 14 and Table 5 on page 15 list the Summit switch series and summarize the
features available in each series.
