RESET switch A recessed switch allows the user to reset the system.

Console port A single console port allows the user access to the command-line interface.

The console port has an RJ-45 connector.

USB ports The switch has two USB ports:

•Port 1 is a device port with a Type B USB connector. A standard

USB 1.1 host, such as a PC, can plug into this port.

•Port 2 is a host port with a Type A USB connector. A standard USB 1.1

device, such as Flash memory, can plug into this port.

PCMCIA slot Type 2 CompactFlash devices can be installed in this slot.

Downlink ports The chassis front panel has 24 downlink ports. An SFP transceiver must be

installed for the port to operate. Cable type and recommended cabling

distance are determined by the type of SFP transceiver installed in the

downlink port.

Uplink ports The chassis front panel has 8 uplink ports. An SFP transceiver must be

installed for the port to operate. Cable type and recommended cabling

distance are determined by the type of SFP transceiver installed in the uplink

port.

Physical Characteristics

Dimensions (H x W x D) •2.58 x 17.29 x 19.00 in. (6.54 x 43.92 x 48.26 cm).

•Chassis requires 1.5 RU1.

•Chassis can be mounted in 19-inch equipment racks that meet

ANSI/EIA 310-D and ETS 300-119 standards.

Weight 29.13 lb (13.21 kg).

Airflow •FAN-C6524—110 CFM

Note To maintain proper air circulation through the switch chassis, we

recommend that you maintain a minimum 6-inch (15 cm) separation

between a wall and the chassis air intake or a wall and the chassis air

exhaust. You should also allow a minimum separation of 12 inches

(30.5 cm) between the hot air exhaust on one chassis and the air

intake on another chassis. Failure to maintain adequate air space can

cause the chassis to overheat and the system to fail.
