Hardware Overview
Console Port
The console port is for management through a serial interface. This port
provides a direct connection to the switch and allows you to access the CLI
from a console terminal connected to the port through the provided serial
cable (RJ-45 to female DB-9 connectors).
The console port supports asynchronous data of eight data bits, one stop bit, no
parity bit, and no flow control. The default baud rate is 9600 bps.
Out-of-Band Management Port
The Out-of-Band (OOB) management port is a 10/100/1000BASE-T
Ethernet port dedicated to remote switch management. Traffic on this port is
segregated from operational network traffic on the switch ports and cannot be
switched or routed to the operational network.
Power Supplies
Each PowerConnect 8000-series and 8100-series switch has two power
supplies for redundant or loadsharing operation. Each power supply can
support 300W.
Ventilation System
The PC8000-series switches have three removable FANs and the 8100-series
have two fans (see "PowerConnect PC8100-Series Back Panel" on page 95).
Each switch also has four thermal sensors and a fan speed controller, which
can be used to control FAN speeds. You can verify operation by observing the
LEDs.
CAUTION:
Remove the power cable from the modules prior to removing the
module itself. Power must not be connected prior to insertion in the chassis.
