Overview of the Summit Switches

The Summit family switches are compact enclosures 1.75 inches high (1 U). They provide 8, 24, or 48
high-density copper or fiber optic ports operating at speeds up to 10 Gbps; many models provide
combination copper/fiber uplink ports. PoE connections and options for adding 10-Gbps or 40-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 X460 series, X480 series, X650 series, and X670 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.
