Getting Started Guide 9The front panel also contains a reset button (pinhole) and several statusLEDs.NOTE: The port LEDs and system LEDs on the front panel are not the same for allmodels. Figure 1-7 shows the LEDs on the PowerConnect 7024, PowerConnect7024F, and PowerConnect 7048 switches.Switch PortsThe PowerConnect 7024 and PowerConnect 7024P front panel provides24 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000BASE-T) RJ-45 ports with four SFP comboports that have an auto-sensing mode for speed, flow control, and duplexmode. SFP transceivers are sold separately. The PowerConnect 7024P switchports are IEEE 802.3at-2009-compliant (PoE Plus) and can provided up to30W of power per port.The PowerConnect 7024F front panel provides 20 Gigabit Ethernet(10/100/1000BASE-FX) SFP ports plus 4 combo ports for copper or SFPmedia support.The PowerConnect 7048, PowerConnect 7048P, and PowerConnect 7048Rfront panel provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000BASE-T) RJ-45 portswith four SFP combo ports. The PowerConnect 7048P switch ports areIEEE 802.3at-2009-compliant (PoE Plus) and can provided up to 30W ofpower per port.The front-panel switch ports have the following characteristics:• The switch automatically detects the difference between crossed andstraight-through cables on RJ-45 ports.• SFP ports support both SX and LX modules.• RJ-45 ports support half- and full-duplex mode 10/100/1000 Mbps.Console PortThe console port is for management through a serial interface. This portprovides a direct connection to the switch and allows you to access the CLIfrom a console terminal connected to the port through the provided serialcable (RJ-45 to female DB-9 connectors).The console port supports asynchronous data of eight data bits, one stop bit, noparity bit, and no flow control. The default baud rate is 9600 bps.
