Power Supplies Each 4120 Series has a fixed internal AC power supply that provides enough power for the basic power needs of the switch and a basic POE power budget. For power redundancy and a higher POE power budget, the 4120 Series also supports the addition of a hot-swappable AC power supply.
All 4120 Series switch models support an operating range from 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F). Feature Licensing A base license for the 4120 Series is the only license supported in Switch Engine. For Feature License Requirements additional Switch Engine licensing information see the for your version of the Switch Engine software.

Power Supplies for Use with Your Switch The 4120 Series switch contains a fixed internal AC power supply that supplies the power needed for switch operations and basic POE power budget. The 4120-24MW-4Y model switch contains an 860W internal AC power supply, while the 4120-48MW-4Y model switch contains a 1200W internal AC power supply.
SummitStack cables. All connections between stack ports must be directly between switches. A stacking connection cannot pass through a third device, for example a Virtual Port Extender or an LRM/MACsec Adapter. 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
Note 4120 Series does not support alternate stacking. When planning and building your stack, be sure to follow port compatibility and cabling recommendations as described in this chapter. 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
“primary-capable,” meaning they can become a stack primary in case the initial backup switch fails. Note 4120 Series switches can only be stacked with themselves using Native V200 stacking. When easy setup compares two switches that have the same capability, the lower slot number takes precedence.

Connect your stack nodes in a ring topology, not a daisy-chain topology, for normal operation. Figure 9, the nodes delineated as the active topology are operating in a daisy-chain configuration, even though there is physically a ring connection in the stack. 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
Table 4: List of Stacking Terms Term Description Stackable switch An Extreme Networks switch that provides two stacking ports and can participate in a stack. Stacking port A physical interface of a stackable switch that is used to allow the connection of a stacking link. Stacking ports are point-to- point links that are dedicated for the purpose of forming a stack.

The choice to run Easy Setup is offered when you run the enable stacking {node-address node-address} command and the essential stacking parameters are unconfigured or inconsistent. It can also be invoked directly by running the configure stacking easy-setup command. 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
Use stacking cables to interconnect the stack nodes into a ring topology (see Ring Topology: Recommended for Stacking on page 19). Include only the nodes that you expect to be active in the stack. 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
• Most stacking specific configurations are effective only after a restart. However, most non-stacking configuration commands take effect immediately and require no restart. 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
4120 Series switches can only stack with themselves using Native V200 stacking. Select Stacking Cables Stacking connections using the native stacking ports require stacking cables that are specific to the type of stacking port. These cables are available from Extreme Networks in lengths from 0.5 meter to 100 meters. Note...

After examining your physical site and verifying that all environment requirements are met, evaluate and compare your existing cable plant with the requirements of the Extreme Networks equipment to determine if you need to install new cables. 3. Meeting power requirements.
Make sure that your system is easily accessible for installation and service. See Rack Specifications and Recommendations on page 37 for more information. • Use appropriate AC or DC power, power distribution, and grounding for your specific installation. 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
Consult an electrical contractor for commercial building and wiring specifications. Control the Temperature Extreme Networks equipment generates a significant amount of heat. It is essential that you provide a temperature-controlled environment for both performance and safety. Install the equipment only in a temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor area that is free of airborne materials that can conduct electricity.
Site Preparation Control the Humidity Level Safeguards are built into all Extreme Networks switches and power supply units to minimize the risk of fire. Table 10: Thermal Shutdown and Restart Behavior Switch Model(s) Behavior All models When internal system temperatures exceed the thermal shutdown temperature limit (typically about 20°C higher than normal system...
Because building codes vary worldwide, consult an electrical contractor to ensure proper equipment grounding for your specific installation. Provide Adequate Space for the Rack Provide enough space in front of and behind the switch so that you can service it easily. 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
(61 cm) of space behind the mounted equipment. Extra room on each side is optional. Warning Extreme Networks switches do not have a switch for turning power to the unit on and off. For systems using an AC power supply, power to the switch is disconnected by removing the wall plug from the electrical outlet.
• Assign a unique identification number to each equipment rack. • Identify all wiring closets by labeling the front panel of your Extreme Networks equipment and other hardware. • Keep accurate and current cable identification records.

Fiber optic cable must be handled carefully during installation. Every cable has a minimum bend radius, and fibers will be damaged if the cables are bent too sharply. It is also important not to stretch the cable during installation. Ensure 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
Connectors that are not properly aligned with the port. • Crowded cable installation, which can cause connectors to pop out of the port. Figure 17 shows examples of recommended and non-recommended connector jacket types. 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
When connecting PoE devices to a PoE switch, all connections between the PoE device and the switch must remain within the same building and use a low-voltage power distribution system per IEEE 802.3af. 4120 Series Cloud Managed Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
For detailed power specifications for your equipment, see "Technical Specifications." Power Cord Requirements Most Extreme Networks switches do not ship with power cords. See Select Power Supply Cords on page 77 for information on selecting and purchasing the correct AC power cords for use with specific Extreme Networks equipment.

Make sure that your power supplies meet the site DC power or AC power requirements of all the network equipment. • Racks for Extreme Networks equipment must be permanently attached to the floor. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over when the equipment is removed for servicing.
Fiber Optic Ports and Optical Safety The following safety warnings apply to all optical devices used in Extreme Networks equipment that are removable or directly installed in an I/O module or chassis system. Such devices include but are not limited to gigabit interface converters (GBICs), small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules (or mini-GBICs), QSFP+ modules, XENPAK transceivers, and XFP laser optic modules.
Cable Routing for LAN Systems Extreme Networks equipment meets the requirements for LAN system equipment. LAN systems are designed for intra-building installations; that is, cable runs between devices must be in the same building as the connected units, except under the conditions listed in the next paragraph.
You can purchase a power cord for your product and for your specific country from your local Extreme Networks Channel Account Manager or Sales Manager, or you can purchase a cord from your local supplier. Requirements for the power cord are listed in the Technical Specifications for your product.
When you install DC power supplies or connect DC power: • Extreme Networks DC power supplies do not have switches for turning the unit on and off. Make sure that the DC circuit is de-energized before connecting or disconnecting the DC power cord at the DC input power socket.
