10 Getting Started Guide
Out-of-Band Management Port
The Out-of-Band (OOB) management port is a 10/100/1000BASE-T
Ethernet port dedicated to remote switch management. Traffic on this port is
segregated from operational network traffic on the switch ports and cannot be
switched or routed to the operational network.
USB Port
The Type-A, female USB port supports a USB 2.0-compliant flash memory
drive. The PowerConnect switch can read or write to a flash drive formatted
as FAT-32. You can use a USB flash drive to copy switch configuration files
and images between the USB flash drive and the switch. You can also use the
USB flash drive to move and copy configuration files and images from one
switch to other switches in the network.
The USB port does not support any other type of USB device.
Reset Button
The reset button is accessed through the pinhole and allows you to perform a
hard reset on the switch. To use the reset button, insert an unbent paper clip
or similar tool into the pinhole. When the switch completes the boot process
after the reset, it resumes operation with the most recently saved
configuration. Any changes made to the running configuration that were not
saved to the startup configuration prior to the reset are lost.
Port and System LEDs
The front panel contains light emitting diodes (LEDs) that indicate the
status of port links, power supplies, fans, stacking, and the overall system.
Additionally, the PowerConnect 7024P and PowerConnect 7048P switches
contain LEDs that provide information about Power over Ethernet Plus
(PoE+) status and activity on the ports.
For information about the status that the LEDs indicate, see the User’s
Configuration Guide.
