Overview
This switch is a high-performance Layer 2 managed switch with 52Gbps switching capacity.
It provides twenty 10/100/1000 copper ports, four 100/1000Base-X SFP/RJ-45 Combo Ports, and two
100/1000Base-X dual speed SFP slots.
Package Contents
After unpacking the switch, check the contents to be sure you have received all the components: one
SM24T6DPA Switch, four adhesive rubber feet, Mounting Accessory (for 19” Rack Shelf), a Post card, a
printed Quick Start Guide, an AC Power Cord, and an RS-232 to RJ-45 Console Cable. Notify your sales
representative if any of these items are missing or damaged.
Front Panel
The switch contains twenty-four 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 Transceiver Slots
SM24T6DPA Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with RJ-45 ports 21 to 24; SFP
ports 25 and 26 are not shared. 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. See the SFP manual
for related information on your SFP(s).
Port and System Status LEDS and System Status LED
The SM24T6DPA switch includes a display panel for system and port indications that simplify installation
and network troubleshooting. The LEDs are on the left side of the front panel.
Connecting to the Console Port
The front panel RJ-45 serial port is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration.
