1/10Gb Switches (PS Series)
17 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM
3.3.3 1/10Gb Switches (PS Series)
For PS Series arrays, switches listed in this section are supported at Level 1 (as described previously) for the
switch firmware versions listed and PS Series array operating system versions.
Note: Attaching 10GbE arrays to switches that are designed and provide predominately 1GbE ports (1GbE
switches) is not supported due to the potential of performance limitations that could result in data-
unavailable scenarios. By design, 1GbE switches typically do not have the resources to manage 10GbE
edge traffic.
Note: PS6210/6610 and PS4210 can be attached to 1GbE switches via the switch’s 1GbE RJ-45 ports. In
this mode, the array will operate at 1Gb only.
