92 Hardware Overview
Expansion Slots for Plug-in Modules
Two expansion slots are located on the back of the switch and can support the
following modules:
•10GBase-T module
•SFP+ module
•Stacking/10 GbE module
Each plug-in module has two ports. The Stacking/10GbE modules can be
configured to operate as either 16-Gigabit stacking ports or 10-Gigabit
Ethernet switch ports. The plug-in modules include hot-swap support, so you
do not need to reboot the switch after you install a new module.
The following figures show the modules available for the PowerConnect 7000
Series switches.
