Summit X440-8t Switch
The front panel of the Summit X440-8t switch (Figure 31) includes:
● Eight fixed autosensing 10/100/1000BASE-T ports (ports 1–8) that provide 8 Gbps of high-density
copper connectivity
● Four unpopulated SFP ports (ports 9–12) that provide 4 Gbps of fiber connectivity. The SFP ports
support both 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-X optical modules.
For information about SFPs, see the Extreme Networks Pluggable Interface Modules Installation Guide.
● Two high-performance stacking ports with associated LEDs
● Ethernet management port
● Serial console port implemented as an RJ-45 connector, used to connect a terminal and perform local
management
● LEDs to indicate port status and switch operating conditions
For a description of the LEDs and their operation, see “Summit X440 Series Switch LEDs” on
page 77.
● Stack number indicator
NOTE
If you are desktop mounting Summit X440-8t switches directly on top of each other, you must use the four
rubber pads to maintain sufficient airflow around the units. See “Free-Standing and Desktop Mounting of Multiple
Switches” for installation instructions.
