1 Gbps SFP Slots
Ports 9 – 24 are 1 Gbps SFP slots, for connection
with stackable switches to form multiple fiber
interconnections. Use appropriate SFP tranceivers.
1/10 Gbps SFP+ Slots
SFP+ ports 1 – 4 are for uplink connection to core
networks. Ensure that the same type of transceiver
is used at both ends of the link and that the correct
type of fiber cable is used.
5
Connect Power
Terminal Block
If your EG97000 comes with AC power cables,
connect the cables into the power modules at the
back of the switch. If your switch comes with a DC
or AC terminal block (no cable), then connect the
switch to a suitable power supply using 12 to 24
AWG wire. Redundant power supply is supported.
However, only one power input is required to
operate the switch. Input voltage is 48 VDC or 100 –
240 VAC, depending on model.
