1 Mini-SAS stacking ports
The term mini-SAS refers to the stacking port cable connections. For information about using the mini-SAS ports to connect switches, see
the Stacking Multiple N30xx Switches section.
Expansion Slots for Plug-in Modules
One expansion slot is on the PSU-side of the N30xx models and supports the following modules:
• 10GBASE-T module
• SFP+ module
Each plug-in module has two ports. The plug-in modules include hot-swap support, so you need not reboot the switch after you install a
new module.
Power Supplies - N3024, N3024F, and N3048
N3024, N3024F, and N3048 switches support two 200-watt field replaceable unit (FRU) power supplies which give full power redundancy
for the switch. The N3024, N3024F, and N3048 switches offer the V-lock feature for users desiring the need to eliminate accidental
power disconnection. The V-lock receptacle on the PSU allows you to use a power cord that has the V-lock feature to create an integral
secure locking connection.
Power Supplies - N3024P and N3048P
Dell Networking N3024P and N3048P switches support one or two 1100-watt FRU power supplies. The N3024P switch comes with a
single 715-watt power supply, and supports either one or two 1100-watt supplies. For the N3048P switch, a 1100-watt power supply is the
default configuration.
A single 1100-watt power supply can feed up to 24 PoE devices at full PoE+ power of 950 W. Dual-equipped switches feed up to 48 PoE
devices at full PoE+ power of 1800 W, and provide power supply redundancy.
NOTE
: PoE power is dynamically allocated. Not all ports require the full PoE+ power.
