Description of Hardware
10/100/1000BASE-T Ports
The switch contains 24 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, 
half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all ports on the 
switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use 
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to 
other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin Assignments” on page 
B-5
.)
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum 
transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 
1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of 
these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode 
of that port can be configured manually.
SFP Slots
The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with 
four of the RJ-45 ports (ports 21-24). In its default configuration, if an SFP 
transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link 
on its port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The 
switch can also be configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, 
as required.
Port and Power Status LEDs
The switch includes a display panel for key system and port indications 
that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which 
are located on the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and 
described in the following tables.
