Introduction

This document provides basic information about the Dell PowerConnect

M8024-k switches, including how to install a switch and perform the initial

configuration. For information about how to configure and monitor switch

features, see the User’s Configuration Guide, which is available on the Dell

Support website at http://support.dell.com/manuals for the latest updates on

documentation and firmware.

This document contains the following sections:

PowerConnect M8024-k Overview

The PowerConnect M8024-k is a Layer 3, 10-Gigabit Ethernet blade switch

that operates in the PowerEdge M1000e system. The M1000e system can

support up to 16 server blades and six PowerConnect M8024-k blade

switches.

6Getting Started Guide

Hardware Overview

This section contains information about device characteristics and modular

hardware configurations for the PowerConnect M8024-k switches.

PowerConnect M8024-k has the following physical dimensions:

• 274.75 x 309.24 x 33.45 mm (W x D x H).

• 10.81 x 12.17 x 1.32 inches (W x D x H).

Internal Ports

PowerConnect M8024-k provides 16 internal 10-Gigabit Ethernet internal

ports. The 16 internal ports are connected to server blades through the

M1000e chassis mid-plane.

The M8024-k also provides an internal Ethernet interface—the out-of-band

(OOB) interface—which is dedicated to switch management. The OOB

interface is connected to the chassis management controller through the

chassis mid-plane. Traffic on this port is segregated from operational network

traffic on the switch ports and cannot be switched or routed to the

operational network.

Front Panel

The following image shows the PowerConnect M8024-k front panel:

The front panel includes four SFP+ ports an expansion slot for 10-Gigabit

modules. The front panel also provides a USB serial console interface for

management functions and LEDs for port and system status.

SFP+ Ports

PowerConnect M8024-k provides four SFP+ ports with SR, LR, and LRM

transceivers and SFP+ direct attach cables. SFP transceivers and direct

attach cables are sold separately.

Expansion Slot

The 10G expansion slot supports the following modules:

• SFP+ (four ports)

• CX-4 (three ports)

• 10GBASE-T (two ports)

The modules are sold separately.

USB Console Port

The USB console port is for management through an RS-232serial interface.

This port provides a direct connection to the switch and allows you to access

the CLI from a console terminal connected to the port through the provided

serial cable (with USB type-A to female DB-9 connectors).

The console port supports asynchronous data of eight data bits, one stop bit, no

parity bit, and no flow control. The default baud rate is 9600 bps.

Port and System LEDs

The front panel contains light emitting diodes (LEDs) that provide

information about the status of the PowerConnect M8024-k unit.

Installation

Site Preparation

Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen

installation location meets the following site requirements:

•

Clearance

— There is adequate front and rear clearance for operator

access. Allow clearance for cabling, power connections, and ventilation.

•

Cabling

— The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise such

as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent

lighting fixtures.

•

Ambient Temperature

— The ambient switch operating temperature

range is 10° to 35ºC (50° to 95ºF).

NOTE: Decrease the maximum temperature by 1°C (1.8°F) per 300 m (985 ft.)

above 900 m (2955 ft.).

•

Relative Humidity

— The operating relative humidity is 8% to 85%

(non-condensing) with a maximum humidity gradation of 10% per hour.
