Front Panel
: The switch front panel contains the power inputs, ports, LEDs and RESET button.
1000BASE-T Ports
: The switch contains 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. All RJ-45 ports support automatic
MDI/MDI-X operation, auto-negotiation and IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the optimum data
rate and transmission can be selected automatically.
SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Slots
: The switch supports Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots port 1 to
port 12, and port 15 to port 16 are 10G SFP+. In the default configuration, 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 optional
Gigabit SFP transceiver can be used for a backbone connection between switches, or for connecting to a
high-speed server. See the specific SFP manual for important cautions and warnings.
CONSOLE Port
: The switch has one RJ-45 CONSOLE port for CLI access via the provided RS232 DB9 to RJ45 Cable.
Note
: Cross-over cabling to the Console port is not supported.
Front Panel LEDs
: The switch includes a LED panel for system and port indications that simplify installation and
network troubleshooting. See the
Install Guide
for Port Status LED and System Status LED details.
