Installing and Connecting Summit Power Supplies
Installing or Removing an External Power Supply 45019
(EPS-LD)
The Extreme Networks External Power Supply 45019 (EPS-LD) provides additional power to switches
that support Power over Ethernet (PoE), such as the Summit 300-24p. The EPS-LD provides 465 W total
power with 375 W dedicated for PoE applications. When attached to the Summit 300-24p, the EPS-LD
acts as a redundant power supply. The wattage is sufficient to power all ports on the Summit 300-24
model.
The external power supply box contains the following items:
• One EPS-LD unit
• Mounting hardware, including screws
• One AC power cable for use in North America.
• One EPS-LD cable (1 meter long) for connecting the power supply to the switch.
NOTE
If you are using the EPS-LD outside North America, the input power cord must have an IEC320-C14
connector and the appropriate power input plug for the country in which you are operating. The cord
must be 10 feet or less and at least 16-gauge copper wire.
CAUTION
Only trained service personnel should install or remove the Extreme EPS-LD unit, in accordance with
the installation instructions. Before servicing this system, please read the safety information provided in
Appendix A. Not following these precautions can result in equipment damage or shock.
The EPS-LD unit can be mounted in a rack or placed free-standing on a tabletop. You can mount the
EPS-LD facing either the front or the back of the rack. For this reason, each unit has two sets of
mounting holes, two on each end. Mount the EPS-LD so that the unit's output connectors are on the
same side as the external connector on the connecting switch.
CAUTION
Do not use the rack-mount kits to suspend the EPS-LD from under a table or desk, or to attach the
switch to a wall.

Rack-mounting the EPS-LD unit

NOTE
When installing an EPS-LD in a rack, make sure air vents are not restricted. Allow for elevated ambient
operating temperatures when the EPS-LD is installed adjacent to other equipment. Be sure you mount
the equipment within the rack so that the load is evenly distributed.
To install the EPS-LD, you need the following tools and materials:
• Electrostatic strap
• #1 Phillips screwdriver
