This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, side panels, and LED indicators of the Switch
Front Panel
The front panel of the Switch consists of six 1000BASE-T ports, two GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) slots,
an RS-232 communication port, and LED indicators.
The six 1000BASE-T ports allow 100/1000-Mbps connections to workstations, servers, and networking
devices through four-pair Category 5 twisted-pair cabling.
The two GBIC slots accept hot-swappable slide-in modules for 1000BASE-SX multimode optical fiber
and other Gigabit Ethernet cable types.
An RS-232 DCE console port is for diagnosing the Switch via a connection to a PC and local console
management.
Comprehensive LED indicators display the condition of the Switch and status of the network. A
description of these LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators).
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Switch consists of an AC power connector. The following shows the rear panel of the
