PowerConnect 5316M Front Panel Port Description

The PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet Switch Module contains 6 external Gigabit Ethernet
10/100/1000 Base-T ports on the front panel for connecting to a network, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
internal ports for connecting the embedded network controllers on the PowerEdge Server Modules.
The six external Gigabit Ethernet ports can operate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. These ports support
auto-negotiation, duplex mode (Half or Full duplex), and flow control. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet
ports that connect to PowerEdge Server Modules can only operate at 1000 Mbps, full-duplex.
These 10 ports also support flow control.
