The Summit family switches are compact enclosures 1.75 inches high (1 U). They provide 24 or 48 
high-density copper or fiber optic ports operating at speeds up to 10 Gbps, with combination 
copper/fiber uplink ports. PoE connections and options for adding 10-Gbps or 100 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 X650 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.
