Identifying External Components

This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, side panels, and LED indicators of the DGS-3024.

Front Panel

The front panel of the Switch consists of LED indicators, an RS-232 communication port, 24 1000BASE-T ports, and four
mini-GBIC combo ports.
•
An RS-232 DCE console port for setting up and managing the Switch via a connection to a console terminal or PC using
a terminal emulation program.
•
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the Switch and the network (see the LED Indicators section below).
•
Twenty-four 1000BASE-T Ethernet ports for 10/100/1000 connections to a backbone, end stations, and servers.
•
Four mini-GBIC combo ports to connect fiber optic media to another Switch, server, core router Switch, or network
backbone.

Rear Panel

The rear panel of the Switch contains an external Redundant Power Supply connector and an AC power connector.
•
The external Redundant Power Supply connector is used to connect the DGS-3024 to a DPS-300. An auto-Switch
circuit automatically Switches to an external RPS once the internal power supply fails. Transition from internal to
external supply shall not disturb normal operation.
•
The AC power connector is a standard three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug the female connector
of the provided power cord into this socket, and the male side of the cord into a power outlet. Supported input voltages
range from 100 ~ 240 VAC at 50 ~ 60 Hz.

Side Panels

The right side panel of the Switch contains two system fans (see the top part of the diagram below). The left side panel
contains heat vents.
