Introducing the Switch

The ProCurve Switches 3400cl are multiport switches that can be used to build
high-performance switched workgroup networks. These switches are store-
and-forward devices offering low latency for high-speed networking.
ProCurve Switch 3400cl-24G (J4905A)
ProCurve Switch 3400cl-48G (J4906A)
Throughout this manual, this switch will be abbreviated as the Switch 3400cl-
24G or Switch 3400cl-48G and collectively as the Series 3400cl Switch devices.
The Switch 3400cl-24G and Switch 3400cl-48G have respectively, 24 or 48,
auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports, four dual-personality ports—
either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 or mini-GBIC, and one slot is
provided in the back of the device to support a two port 10 Gigabit per second
Ethernet (10-GbE) module to provide box connectivity to other switch boxes,
to a 10 Gigabit per second concentrator or to any Ethernet compatible uplink.
The Series 3400cl Switch devices can be connected to a ProCurve
RPS/EPS (J8168A) and receive full redundant power from that unit. If the
internal power supply in the switch fails, the RPS/EPS unit will immediately
provide all the power necessary to keep the switch running.
