Optional Redundant Power Supply
The DGS-3308FG supports the optional DPS-1000 (Redundant Power Supply) to provide automatic power supply
monitoring and switchover to a redundant power supply (located in the chassis of the DPS-1000) in case of a failure in the
Switch’s internal power supply. The DGS-3308TG does not support the optional redundant power supply.
Fast Ethernet Technology
100Mbps Fast Ethernet (or 100BASE-T) is a standard specified by the IEEE 802.3 LAN committee. It is an extension of
the 10Mbps Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and receive data at 100Mbps, while maintaining the Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Ethernet protocol.
Gigabit Ethernet Technology
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for
CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical
throughput over 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and a one hundred-fold increase over 10Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible
with all 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without
wasting a company’s existing investment in hardware, software, and trained personnel.
Gigabit Ethernet enables fast optical fiber connections and Unshielded Twisted Pair connections to support video
conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur 10 times
faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of
operations in the same amount of time.
