Extreme Networks Consolidated "i" and "e" Series Hardware Installation Guide

Planning Your Site

To install your equipment successfully, you should plan your site carefully. The site planning process 
has four major steps:

Your physical installation site must meet several requirements for a safe and successful installation:

Building and electrical code requirements

Environmental, safety, and thermal requirements for the equipment you plan to install

Distribution rack requirements

Step 2: Planning for Stacking (Summit “e” Series Only)

If you will be installing Summit “e” series switches in a stacked configuration, make sure you have the 
appropriate cables for the interconnections. To use the dedicated stacking ports on the back of the 
Summit 400 series switches, you must have a special cable that is available from Extreme Networks. 

After examining your physical site and ensuring all environment requirements are met, you should 
evaluate and compare your existing cable plant with the requirements of the Extreme Networks 
equipment to determine if you need to install new cables (or cabling).

To run your equipment safely, you must meet the specific power requirements for the Extreme 
Networks equipment that you plan to install.
