CAUTION
Summit port option cards are not hot-swappable. Disconnect power to the switch before installing or
removing any option card. After the Summit port option card is installed in a compatible switch, you can hot-swap
the pluggable optical modules. Use only optical modules approved by Extreme Networks.
Installing XGM and XGM2 Series Port Option Cards
All Summit XGM and XGM2 series port option cards are installed the same way. The instructions in this
section apply to all option cards for the Summit X350, X450a, and X450e series switches.
To install a Summit XGM or XGM2 series port option card:
1 Disconnect the AC power and any redundant power supply from the Summit switch.
2 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to an appropriate
ground point on the equipment rack.
3 Remove the screws holding the filler panel over the option slot on the back of the switch
(Figure 276). Remove the filler panel and set it aside.
Save the screws for re-use.

4 Align the sheet metal edges on the option card with the card guides in the switch housing. Carefully
slide the option card into the switch housing until the connectors engage and the card is flush with
the back panel of the switch (Figure 277).
