Hardware Basics OmniSwitch 6624 Front Panel Console Port The OS6624 front panel provides one RS232 port for console connections. Serial console connections are used by network administrators for switch management. This female DB-9 connector provides a DCE console connection. Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Module Slot The OS6624 provides a dedicated slot for Gigabit Ethernet uplink modules. This slot supports the following module types: • OS6600-GNI-C2-Provides two fixed 1000BaseT copper connections (uses two RJ-45 connectors). Supports distances up to 100 meters. • OS6600-GNI-U2-Provides two MiniGBIC bays that support hot-swappable 1000BASE-X MiniGBIC transceivers.

Slot Selector Button The slot selector button, located directly beneath the slot indicator LED, is used to manually assign slot numbers to switches in stacked configurations. Refer to "Assigning Slot Numbers" on page 25 for detailed information. 10/100 Ethernet Ports The OS6624 provides 24 Ethernet ports. These ports are twisted-pair and are individually configurable as 10BaseT or 100BaseTX. The ports use RJ-45 connectors. Stacking or Uplink Module Slot The OS6624 provides an additional slot that can accommodate either a stacking module or a Gigabit Ethernet uplink module. If you use a Gigabit Ethernet uplink module in this slot, the OS6624 must be used as a stand-alone switch. A stacking module must be installed in this slot if the switch is to be used in a stacked configuration. For information on stacking switches, refer to page 24. March 2005 Hardware Basics 61
