The figure above shows the rear panel of a Summit X450a series DC-powered switch. The
rear panel of other Summit DC-powered switches may vary slightly; however, the DC

3 Energize the DC circuit.

Installing a Summit X430-8p Series Switch

The Summit X430-8p series switch fits into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
The rack-mounting brackets (ordered separately) attach to the front of the switch for front-mount
installation.
The installation process includes the following tasks:
1 Install the switch in the rack.
2 Connect power cables.
3 Connect network interface cables.
Note
Take care to load the rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start installing equipment at the bottom
of the rack and work up.
Summit X430-8p Pre-installation Requirements
Make sure there is adequate space behind the rack before you begin to install the switch.
Note
The X430-8p requires special mounting brackets. These brackets are not included with the
shipped X430-8p switch and must be ordered separately.
