All RJ-45 ports provide "HP Auto MDIX" features, which means you can
use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect
any network devices to the switch.
The 3500 and 3500yl switches provide four, dual-personality ports that
support either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connector or an HP ProCurve
SFP (mini-GBIC) for fiber-optic connections. The 3500yl-PoE+ switches
support SFP+ transceivers for 10-GbE fiber optic connections.
The RJ-45 connectors support the IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X feature, which
means you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair
cables to connect any network device to the switch.
Dual-Personality Port Operation. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are
enabled. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, it is enabled and the associ-
ated RJ-45 connector is disabled and cannot be used. If the mini-GBIC is
removed, the associated RJ-45 port is automatically re-enabled.
The RJ-45 connector also supplies PoE/PoE+ power until a mini-GBIC/
SFP+ is installed. The PoE/PoE+ power is turned off when a mini-GBIC
is plugged in.
Each of the 3500yl and 6200yl switches have one, 10 gigabit expansion slot
that can accept one of two modules. Only the 3500yl and 6200yl switches
support a yl module. The 3500 switches do not support a module slot.
