Data Center Performance
The PowerConnect 8000 Series are high density 10Gb Ethernet 
switches designed for data center, aggregation, and unified fabric 
deployments requiring high throughput and availability. These high 
density 24-port 10Gb switches are ready for converged Ethernet 
environments supporting virtualization, iSCSI storage, and 10Gb 
traffic aggregation. The 8000 Series also provides full routing 
features in a compact 1U form factor with data center friendly 
front-to-rear cooling.
Unified Fabric Ready
The PowerConnect 8000 Series are one of the key components in 
Dell Unified Fabric Data Center solutions, and support converged 
fabric requirements such as Priority Flow Control (802.1Qbb), iSCSI 
Optimization, and 10Gb wire speed performance on all ports. 
iSCSI traffic can also be monitored at the fabric level, allowing the 
administrator to track active iSCSI sessions.
10 Gb Performance and Flexibility
The PowerConnect 8000 Series bring the benefits of 10Gb 
Ethernet to a compact and reliable switching platform, with the 
quality and great service of Dell. 10Gb Ethernet provides a superior 
return on IT investment through:
Investment Protection – 10Gb Ethernet is the network fabric 
of the future, with an ever-expanding ecosystem of solutions 
and the capabilities to grow 
Energy-Efficient – Replace multiple 1Gb/s components in 
your infrastructure to reduce power requirements and heat 
loads. 
High Performance – 480Gb/s of throughput for wire-speed 
10Gb switching
Migration - Support 1Gb modes on all ports for mixed environments
Energy Efficient
The PowerConnect 8000 Series is designed to be easy on budgets 
as well as the environment. Dell designed the PowerConnect 8000 
Series for energy savings from the power cord to the ports, starting 
with redundant power supplies that can operate efficiently in all 
modes. We then added variable speed fans that adjust their speed for 
their environment through multiple temperature monitors. We also 
included power efficient 10GBASE-T ports that can reduce power draw 
by as much as 20%* for short cable runs, and then provided network 
administrators with multiple ways to manage and monitor these power 
savings features via command line interface (CLI), web GUI, and SNMP.
High Availability
The PowerConnect 8000 Series is designed to be highly available 
with dual internal hot-swap power supplies, and removable hot-swap 
fan modules. These switches also incorporate dual firmware images 
to allow for image promotions or image redundancy in a network. 
Flexible Management
PowerConnect switches provide numerous management 
options including an industry-standard CLI, remote management 
using the embedded web server, and support for SNMP-based 
management applications including Dell OpenManage Network 
Manager. The web GUI for PowerConnect switches provides very 
robust management with comparable control to the command-
line environment, allowing the administrator to choose the best 
method of interacting with the switch.

compact 1U form factor
Dell PowerConnect 8000 Series 
The Dell
™ PowerConnect™ 8000 Series is a family consisting of two switch models: PowerConnect 
8024 and PowerConnect 8024F. These switches are 24-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 switches, with 
four Combo Ports for mixed cabling environments. 
 
The PowerConnect 8000 Series are Dell’s first all 10 Gigabit 1U Ethernet products. The switches are 
designed for utilization in a variety of environments such as 10Gb Top-of-Rack switching, 10Gb 
Aggregation, and Switch Core applications in small to medium data centers.
