This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, side panels, and LED indicators of the DGS-3024.
Front Panel
The front panel of the Switch consists of LED indicators, an RS-232 communication port, 24 1000BASE-T ports, and four mini-
GBIC combo ports.
Figure 3-1. Front panel view
•
An RS-232 DCE console port for setting up and managing the Switch via a connection to a console terminal or PC using a
terminal emulation program.
•
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the Switch and the network (see the LED Indicators section below).
•
Twenty-four 1000BASE-T Ethernet ports for 10/100/1000 connections to a backbone, end stations, and servers.
•
Four mini-GBIC combo ports to connect fiber optic media to another Switch, server, core router Switch, or network
backbone.
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Switch contains an external Redundant Power Supply connector and an AC power connector.
Figure 3-2. Rear panel view
•
The external Redundant Power Supply connector is used to connect the DGS-3024 to a DPS-300. An auto-Switch circuit
automatically Switches to an external RPS once the internal power supply fails. Transition from internal to external supply
shall not disturb normal operation.
•
The AC power connector is a standard three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug the female connector of
the provided power cord into this socket, and the male side of the cord into a power outlet. Supported input voltages range
from 100 ~ 240 VAC at 50 ~ 60 Hz.
