Front Panel Description
Ten of the ports on the 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch are internal 1000BASE-X ports that connect to
the server chassis through the backplane. Figure 1-1 shows the console port, the two external
10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports, and the four external SFP module uplink ports that support
1000BASE-SX and 10/100/1000BASE-T copper. Only Cisco SFP modules are supported on the switch.
Figure 1-1 The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module
Each port has an LED associated with it. The Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis
(DRAC/MC) management board controls the System Status/ID LED.
Switch Console Port
You can connect the switch to a PC by means of the console port and an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. If
you want to connect the switch console port to a terminal, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female
DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) containing that adapter from Cisco.
For console port and adapter pinout information, see the “Connector and Cable Specifications” section
on page B-1.
For information on the server chassis DRAC/MC console port, see the server chassis documentation.
