This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, side panels, optional plug-in modules, and LED indicators of the Switch

Front Panel

The front panel of the Switch consists of either 22 or 20 (10/100 Mbps) Ethernet/Fast Ethernet ports, two or one uplink
jacks, a slide-in module slot for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, an RS-232 communication port (DES-3624i, DES-3624iF,
and DES-3624iFM only), and LED indicators.
Comprehensive LED indicators display the conditions of the Switch and status of the network. A description of
these LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators).
An RS-232 DCE console port is used to diagnose the Switch via a connection to a PC and Local Console
Management (DES-3624i, DES-3624iF, and DES-3624iFM only).
Twenty or twenty-two high performance NWay ports all operate at 10/100 Mbps for connection to servers and hubs.
All ports can be auto-negotiated between 10Mbps or 100Mbps.
A slide-in module slot (labeled Slot1) for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports can accommodate the following modules: 2-
port TX, 2-port FX (MT-RJ), or 1-port FX (SC).
One or two MDI-II uplink jacks are supported. Port numbers 1 and 2 on the DES-3624, DES-3624F, and DES-
3624FM are equipped with MDI-X jacks for normal end-node connections and MDI-II jacks for uplink connections.
Port number 1 on the DES-3624i, DES-3624iF, and DES-3624iFM are equipped with an MDI-X jack for normal end-
node connection and an MDI-II jack for uplink connection.
