OmniSwitch 6648 Front Panel Console Port The OS6648 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 OS6648 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. 25 27 29 31 33 35 OmniSwitch 6648 TM CONSOLE 26 28 30 32 34 36 1 3 5 7 9 11 OK1 PS1 PRI TEMP OK2 PS2 SEC FAN SEL 2 4 6 8 10 12 37 39 41 43 45 47 38 40 42 44 46 48 13 15 17 19 21 23 14 16 18 20 22 24 LINK/ACT LINK/ACT 49 50 EXPANSION EXPANSION/STACKING 51 52 LINK/ACT LINK/ACT Status and Slot Indicator LEDs For information on the OS6648's status and slot indicator LEDs, refer to page 67. 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 OS6648 provides 48 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 OS6648 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 OS6648 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 63
