Connecting a SummitStack 128G/20G Stacking Cable
SummitStack 128G/20G cables are used to connect the 128-Gbps stacking ports on Summit X650 series
switches to 20-Gbps stacking ports on Summit X650 series or other Summit series switches. The
128-Gbps ports are on VIM1-SummitStack256 modules in Summit X650 series switches. The 20-Gbps
ports are on one of the following:
● VIM1-10G8X module installed in a Summit X650 series switch
● VIM1-SummitStack module in a Summit X650 series switch
● VIM2-SummitStack module in a Summit X480 series switch
● Rear panel of Summit X250e, X450, X450a, or X450e series switches.
To connect a SummitStack 128G/20G cable:
1 Connect the 128-Gbps connector to the VIM1-SummitStack256 module as follows:
a Holding the cable connector with the release tab on top, align the connector with the stacking
port on the VIM1 module in the Summit X650 series switch (Figure 123).
