40GBASE-X Transceiver Modules and Cables for QSFP+ Ports

To enable very high-speed fiber and long-distance connections on the switch, port cards with Quad Small
Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) fiber ports accommodate standard 40G transceiver modules (gigabit
interface converters, or GBICs), break-out cables, and direct attach cables (DACs), which are sold separately
from the port cards.
At this time, NETGEAR does not offer any QSFP+ transceiver modules or cables. However, you can obtain
any third-party, IEEE-compliant, 40GBASE-X transceiver module or cable for use with the switch.

Reset Button

The switch provides a Reset button on the front panel so that you can reboot the switch. Save the
configuration before you press the Reset button.
To reboot the switch:
1. Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening.
2. Press the recessed Reset button for about three seconds.
The switch reboots.

RJ-45 RS232 Console Port

The back panel of the switch provides one RJ-45 RS232 port for console access only. This serial port is
configured for 115200 baud, eight data bits, one stop bit, and no parity. The product package includes one
console cable with one DB9 connector and one RJ-45 connector. You can use this cable to connect the
RJ-45 RS232 console port on the switch to a DB9 port on a VT100-compatible terminal or a Windows-based
computer that runs VT100 terminal emulation software.

Out-of-Band 1G Ethernet Port

The back panel of the switch provides one out-of-band (OOB) 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Ethernet port that lets
you access the switch over its local browser interface or over a Telnet or SSH connection.

USB Port

The back panel of the switch provides one USB 2.0 port that lets you upgrade firmware from a disk and
back up the configuration to a storage device and that allows for the collection of a memory dump for
debugging purposes.
A device that you attach to the USB port must comply with the following requirements:
