The back panel of the switch provides a Kensington lock slot for an optional lock and the AC power connector
for the power cable.
The previous figure shows the back panel of model XS724EM.The back panel of model XS512EM contains
the same components.
SFP Slots for Fiber or Copper Connectivity
To enable fiber connections and additional copper (Ethernet) connections on the switch, SFP+ slots
accommodate standard small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface converters (GBICs, also referred
to as transceiver modules). GBICs are sold separately from the switch.
On model XS512EM, you can insert transceiver modules in slots 11F and 12F, in which case you cannot
use ports 11T and 12T.
On model XS512EM, you can insert transceiver modules in slots 23F and 24F, in which case you cannot
use ports 23T and 24T.
These models support the NETGEAR SFP transceiver modules and direct-attach cables (DACs) that are
listed in the following table.
