Description

The HP ProCurve 6600-24G Switch is a data center optimized, advanced Layer 3 1U stackable switch with
20 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 4 dual-personality ports . The 6600 series 1U form factor switches are
enhanced for server edge connectivity with front-to-back cooling, redundant hot-swappable power, and
redundant hot-swappable fans . The foundation for all these switches is a purpose-built, programmable ProVision
ASIC that allows the most demanding networking features, such as QoS and security, to be implemented in
a scalable yet granular fashion . With a variety of connectivity interfaces and expanded buffering, the 6600
switches offer excellent investment protection, flexibility, and scalability, as well as ease of deployment and
reduced operational expense .

Ports

• 24 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connectors
• 4 dual-personality 1-GbE SFP (can be used in lieu of last four 10/100/1000Base-T ports)

Management connectivity

• DB-9 serial console port
