General
A Model 1200 Brick device measures approximately 17 (W) x 19 (D) x 3.5 (H) and is
intended to be installed on a standard 19-inch rack. It comes with two optional
rack-mounting brackets that can be attached to the sides to secure it to the rack.
There are two basic Brick 1200 models:
The 1200 Brick (AC version only)
The 1200 HS Brick (AC and DC versions)
Ports
The following table summarizes the number and type of ports that are supported on each
Brick 1200 model:
Port Type
10/100/1000BaseTX
Gigabit only interfaces
Notes:
1. The Gigabit only ports operate solely at the 1 Gigabit rate and are not 10/100/1000baseTX
auto-switchable. These ports are activated when the user inserts a Small Form-factor Pluggable
(SFP) module, which is ordered separately.
Power supply
The Model 1200 Brick device utilizes hot swappable mini-redundant power supplies for
both AC and DC versions.
Gigabit only interfaces
The Gigabit only ports on the Model 1200 Brick are configurable for copper/fiber
connections via Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules, which are sometimes referred
to as "mini-GBICs".
The SFP module design is based on the GBIC interface, which is a standard for
transceivers that commonly use Gigabit copper Ethernet and fiber channels. The SFP is a
standard, hot swappable electrical interface that supports the full range of physical media,
from copper to optical fiber (multi mode or single mode) through the use of the appropriate
SFP module. These SFP modules can be easily interchanged, which allow networks to have
ports added or changed as the administrator wishes.
