Overview
10/40GbE Switch 
High-performance blade 
provides maximum 
throughput, flexibility, and 
iSCSI/FCoE convergence.   
10GbE Plug and Play 
Converge infrastructure and 
connect easily to third-party 
networks with this flexible 
Layer 2 blade.
10GbE Basic 
Transition to 10GbE 
connectivity and extend an 
available iSCSI/FCoE fabric 
with this Layer 2/3 switch.
Ethernet/FC Switch 
Connect directly to the Fibre 
Channel SAN and Ethernet 
LAN without the need for an 
FCoE forwarding device.
1GbE High-density 
Leverage existing Ethernet 
cabling to enable broader 
scalability in the data center 
with this Layer 2/3 switch.
1GbE Basic 
Flexible Layer 2/3 switch 
with dual expansion slots 
allowing you to customize 
connectivity options.
Direct connection 
Transparently connect 16 
Dell blade servers into the 
LAN of your choice at 10Gb 
speeds.
