Installing a Summit X670 Switch in a Rack

In addition to the equipment listed in Pre-installation Requirements, you will also need the following items for grounding the Summit X670 switch:

#14 AWG copper cable
The recommended insulation color is green or green with yellow stripe.
Crimping tool for attaching the ring terminal to the ground wire

A grounding kit – consisting of a ring terminal (equivalent to Panduit PV14-8R-E) and M4 screw with captive washer – is provided.

The Summit X670 series switch fits into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

The provided rack-mounting brackets attach to the front of the switch unit and are adaptable to either a front-mount or mid-mount installation. Optional rear-mounting brackets are also included for four-post racks or cabinets.

If you are installing a VIM4 module in the Summit X670V-48x switch, install it in the switch before you connect the switch to power. (See Installing a Versatile Interface Module in a Summit X460, X480, X650, or X670 Series Switch.)

Summit X670 series switches are shipped without installed power supplies. You can install one or two 450W or 550W AC or DC power supplies.

After the switch is secured to the rack, install the necessary power supplies for your configuration. Follow the instructions in Install a 450 W or 550 W Internal AC Power Supply or Install a 450 W or 550 W Internal DC Power Supply.
