Summit X670 Series Switches

The Summit X670 series switches have 48 front-panel Ethernet ports that provide 10-gigabit Ethernet
connectivity using installable SFP+ optical modules.
The Summit X670 series switches include the following base models:
Summit X670-48x switch
●
Summit X670V-48x switch
●
Each base model is available with either front-to-back or back-to-front cooling. There is no operational
difference between these switch versions.
Summit X670 SFP+ ports support dual interface speeds of Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet.
SFP+ ports can accept both gigabit SFP and 10 gigabit SFP, and depending upon the pluggable optics
you choose, SFP+ modules can work in both modes.
A serial console port on the front panel of the Summit X670 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.
A motion sensor on the front of the switch allows you to control the power to the port LEDs. When the
motion sensor is enabled, the port LEDs are turned off if motion is not detected during a specified
amount of time. When motion is detected, the port LEDs are turned back on. You can adjust how long
the LEDs stay lit after motion is detected. When the motion sensor is disabled, the port LEDs are
always on.
The rear panel of the Summit X670V-48x switch provides a slot for an installed option card called a
versatile interface module or VIM. The VIM4-40G4X module adds four QSFP+-based 40-Gbps ports to
the Summit X670V-48x switch.
NOTE
Only VIM4 modules are compatible with the Summit X670 series switches. Other VIM types that may
appear to be mechanically compatible with the Summit X670 series switches will not function if they are installed in
these switches.
Switch cooling is provided by three 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 three 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
fans that operate independently of the switch fans. Like the fan modules, the power supplies are
available in models with either front-to-back or back-to-front cooling airflow.
NOTE
Air must flow in the same direction for all installed fan modules and power supplies in a switch.
