DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch
10GE Uplink Modules
At the rear of the xStack
®
DGS-3600 Series switches reside optional module slots. This slot may be equipped with the DEM-
410X single-port 10GE XFP uplink module, or a DEM-410CX single-port 10GE CX4 uplink module, both sold separately.
Adding the DEM-410X optional module will allow the administrator to add a single-port 10GE stacking module which will
transmit information at a rate of ten gigabits a second. This port is compliant with standard IEEE 802.3ae, supports full-duplex
transmissions only and is to be used with XFP MSA compliant transceivers.
The DEM-410CX will transfer information at a rate of ten gigabits a second but is used as an uplink module to a network device.
Compliant with the IEEE802.3ak standard, this module will use a 4-laned copper connector to transfer information in full-duplex
mode, quickly and accurately. User beware, the cable and connector port used for this module is nearly identical to the stacking
ports and cables used for stacking in the xStack
®
Series, but can in no way be interchangeable.
To install these modules, follow the simple steps listed below.
CAUTION
: Before adding the optional module, make sure to disconnect all
power sources connected to the Switch. Failure to do so may result in an
electrical shock, which may cause damage, not only to the individual but to
the Switch as well.
At the back of the Switch to the left is the slot for the optional module, as shown in Figure 1-18 and Figure 1-19. This slot should
be covered with a faceplate that can be easily removed by loosening the screws and pulling off the plate.

After removing the faceplate, remove the DEM-410X or DEM-410CX optional module from its box. The front panel should
resemble the drawings represented here.

Take the module and gently slide it in to the available slot at the rear of the Switch until it reaches the back, as shown in the
following figure. At the back of the slot are two sets of plugs that must be connected to the module. Gently, but firmly push in on
the module to secure it to the Switch. The module should fit snugly into the corresponding receptors.
