Figure 3-6. PowerConnect 8164F Front Panel
PowerConnect 8164F switches can be stacked with other PowerConnect 81xx
switches using the 10G or 40G SFP+ or QSFP modules in the module bay or
fixed QSFP ports.
Hot-Pluggable Interface Modules
The PowerConnect 8132, 8132F, 8164, and 8164F switches support the
following hot-pluggable interface modules:
• PC8100-QSFP - 2 x 40G QSFP port module - defaults to 2x40G
• PC8100-SFP+ - 4 x SFP+ port module - defaults to 4x10G mode
• PC8100-10GBT - 4 x 10GBase-T ports module - defaults to 4x10G mode
• Blank module - defaults to 10G mode
A reboot is necessary when a hot-pluggable module is replaced with a module
of different type. Specifically, changing from a 40G module to a 10G module
or from a 10G module to a 40G module requires a reboot. Plug-in modules
with any port configured as a stacking port are not hot-swappable. Remove
the stack-port configuration from a slot before plugging in a module.
You must execute a no slot or clear config command prior to
inserting the new module. Note that changing the role of a port from stacking
to Ethernet or vice-versa also requires a switch reboot.
NOTE: The PowerConnect 8024 and 8024F switches do not support
hot-swappable plug-in modules.
