Summit X750 Series Switches

The Summit X750 series switches have 32 front-panel Ethernet ports that can provide 40-gigabit
Ethernet connectivity using installable QSFP+ optical modules. The ports can operate in 40-gigabit
mode, or with appropriate optical modules can be divided into four 10-gigabit data lanes. Both Native
Stacking and Alternate Stacking is supported using the front panel-ports.
Each base model is available with either front-to-back or back-to-front cooling. There is no operational
difference between these switch versions.
A serial console port on the front panel of the Summit X750-32q series switch allows you to connect a
terminal and perform local management. An Ethernet management port can be used to connect the
system to a parallel management network for administration. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet
cable to connect this port directly to a laptop to view and locally manage the switch configuration. The
Ethernet management port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. There is also a USB port.
Switch cooling is provided by five replaceable fan modules. Fan modules are available in two different
models that direct the airflow either from front to back or from back to front. All five installed fan
modules must be of the same model, so that they all direct the airflow in the same direction. Two power
supply bays accommodate either AC or DC power supplies. Power supplies have integrated cooling
