1000BASE-T/SFP Ports
These are two combination Gigabit RJ-45 ports with shared Small Form
Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 25-26). If an
SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link
on the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled.
The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,
so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or
servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin Assignments”
on page B-4.)
Stacking Ports
The unit provides two stacking ports that provide a 1 Gbps stack backplane
connection. Up to eight switches can be connected together using Category 5
Ethernet cables (purchased separately). The Master button enables one
switch in the stack to be selected as the master. This is the unit through
which you manage the entire stack.
The stacking ports can also be used as normal Ethernet ports in standalone
mode by pressing the Uplink button.
