High-Speed Stack Connections
Theswitcheshaverear‐panelconnectorsforhigh‐speedconnectionsinastack
configuration.Thehigh‐speedstackingcablesusedfortheconnectionsareoptionalitems
andmustbeorderedseparately.Stackingcablesareavailableinthreelengths:1foot,1
meterand5meters.See“ConnectingHigh‐SpeedStacking
Cables”onpage 3‐11for
detailsonthesecables.
Redundant Power Supply Capability
Theswitchhaspowersupplyredundancycapabilitywhenconnectedtoanoptional
externalredundantpowersupply(RPS).Iftheinternalpowersupplyfails, theRPS
assumestheentireloadoftheswitchwithoutinterruptingnetworktraffic.Theinternal
powersupplyandRPSeachhavetheirownACpowerconnection,whichenables
the
connectionofeachpowersupplytoadifferentACpowercircuitforadditionalACpower
sourceredundancy.
Connectivity
TheswitchconnectstoEthernetnetworksorworkstationsviathefixedfrontpanelRJ45
connectorsandfouruplinkportsthat supportoptionalMini‐GBICs.
Atthetimeofthisprinting,thesixMini‐GBICsthatareavailablefromEnterasysare
describedinTable 1‐1onpage 1‐5.TheseMini‐GBICsmeet
orexceedthe IEEE802.3z‐1998
standard.
