M6220 SWITCH
The Dell PowerConnect M6220 is a key component of the FlexIO
architecture of the M1000e Modular Server Enclosure. FlexIO delivers
a level of IO flexibility, bandwidth, features, and investment protection
that is truly exceptional in the blade server market. The M6220, a
breakthrough modular design that packages a high-performance
24-port stackable Ethernet switch with modular bays that can be
populated with 10GbE or stacking modules to provide customers the
flexibility to create exactly the switch they need for their environment.

The PowerConnect M6220 offers additional value because the modular design allows you to
upgrade to advanced stacking or 10GE when you need it. It helps provide further flexibility and
value with optional modules that allow for either 10 Gigabit optical or CX-4 copper interfaces — or
both, based on your needs.

The PowerConnect M6220 is designed to give users the flexibility to maximize server and
workstation connectivity. The M6220, along with Dell blade servers, can help users address space
constraints, reduce cabling requirements, and can help lower overall TCO. It offers integrated Gigabit
connectivity and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) options for the PowerEdge

The PowerConnect M6220 supports high-performance, 48 Gbps stacking bandwidth for up to
12 systems, which allows increased throughput to be added as needed without affecting network
performance. With each switch supporting up to 128 Gbps in switch bandwidth, the customer can
have over 1.5 terabytes of bandwidth in a single stack of 12 switches.

10 gIgabIT ETHERNET
The PowerConnect M6220 switch supports up to four 10GE uplinks which allow users to add
bandwidth as they need it, and consolidate uplinks across the stack for further cable reduction.
The two 10 Gb module slots support two 10 Gb ports each, with a wide variety of port variants.
