standard Category 5 UTP cable.

technology operating at 10G or 1G plus SFP transceivers operating at 1G.

Console Port
The console port provides serial communication capabilities, which allows 
communication using RS-232 protocol. The serial port provides a direct 
connection to the switch and allows access to the CLI from a console 
terminal connected to the port through the provided serial cable (with RJ45 
YOST to female DB-9 connectors).
The console port is separately configurable and can be run as an asynchronous 
link from 1200 baud to 115,200 baud.
The Dell CLI only supports changing the speed. The defaults are 9600 baud 
rate, 8 data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, No Flow Control.
USB Port
The Type-A, female USB port supports a USB 2.0-compliant flash memory 
drive. The Dell Networking switch can read or write to a flash drive with a 
single partition formatted as FAT-32. You can use a USB flash drive to copy 
switch configuration files and images between the USB flash drive and the 
switch. You can also use the USB flash drive to move and copy configuration 
files and images from one switch to other switches in the network. The 
system does not support the deletion of files on USB flash drives.
The USB port does not support any other type of USB device.
Reset Button
The reset button is accessed through the pinhole and allows you to perform a 
hard reset on the switch. To use the reset button, insert an unbent paper clip 
or similar tool into the pinhole. When the switch completes the boot process 
after the reset, it resumes operation with the most recently saved 
configuration. Any changes made to the running configuration that were not 
saved to the startup configuration prior to the reset are lost.
