XG0448 Hardware Guide

Notes on Maintenance

Customers should not repair this device. In the event of failure, consult with a Fujitsu service engineer or an engineer certified by Fujitsu for maintenance.

Do not dismantle or modify this device in any manner. This device contains high voltage and high temperature parts that can be dangerous.

Precautions for Use

As a guideline, the expected life of the device is approximately five years, assuming use at an ambient temperature of 25°C.

Use of this hardware guide, the device, its firmware, and the management software are the responsibility of the user and is undertaken at their own risk.

Fujitsu and its partners accept no responsibility for any errors or data loss arising from use of the product. Before using the product, it should be understood that the device is not guaranteed against failure for any more than the original purchase price.

Fujitsu and its partners do not approve of any use of the firmware provided with the device, or of any authorized firmware upgrades, for any purpose other than installation in the intended device. Modification and disassembly are not permitted under any circumstances. Use of the device or upgrading the device firmware implies acceptance of the End User License Agreement stipulated within the User’s Guide.

Eliminating Static Electricity from Twisted Pair Cables (Grounding)

Under certain conditions, twisted pair cables can become charged with static electricity. Connecting a statically charged twisted pair cable to the XG0448 can cause the device or its LAN port to operate falsely or to become damaged.

Use a static removal tool to discharge twisted pair cables to ground prior to connecting them to the XG0448.

Note that a discharged twisted pair cable that has been left unconnected for a long time may become statically charged again.

Reference "2.3.1 Discharging Twisted Pair Cable" (pg.35)

Ensuring Security

If no password is set, any users on the network can configure this device. In that situation, you cannot ensure security against unauthorized use. Therefore we strongly recommend that you set a password.

Reference User’s Guide "5.14 Password Information" (pg.252)

Cleaning

If cleaning the device while in service, use a damp soft cloth. Only use water or a mild detergent to dampen the cloth. Avoid moisture entering vents or crevices in the chassis of the device.

XG0448 specifications

The Fujitsu XG0448 is a high-performance network switch that stands out in the competitive landscape of data networking solutions. Designed primarily for data center environments and enterprise networks, the XG0448 offers a robust feature set that meets the demands of modern data traffic.

One of the main features of the Fujitsu XG0448 is its impressive port density. It provides 48 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports along with 4 additional 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports. This multi-rate capability allows network architects to design flexible and scalable network topologies tailored to their unique requirements. The ability to aggregate networks efficiently is vital in minimizing latency and maximizing throughput in high-bandwidth applications, such as cloud services and big data analytics.

The XG0448 is also built on advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching technologies, offering essential functionality such as VLAN support, link aggregation, and robust Quality of Service (QoS). Its Layer 3 capabilities enable routing functionalities which facilitate optimized communication between different subnets, enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the network.

Security is a critical concern for modern networks, and the Fujitsu XG0448 addresses this with a range of security features. It includes strict access control lists (ACLs), RADIUS, and TACACS+ authentication mechanisms, as well as support for IEEE 802.1X port-based access control. These features help safeguard data while ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network.

Energy efficiency is another key characteristic of the XG0448. It is designed with power-saving technologies that allow for reduced energy consumption without compromising performance. The switch supports energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE) standards, which help lower operational costs while contributing to sustainability efforts in managing data center workloads.

In addition to its hardware capabilities, the Fujitsu XG0448 supports sophisticated management and monitoring options. The device can be managed through a web-based interface or command-line interface (CLI), providing network administrators with flexibility in managing configurations, monitoring performance metrics, and troubleshooting issues seamlessly.

In summary, the Fujitsu XG0448 network switch combines high port density, advanced switching capabilities, robust security, and energy efficiency, making it an ideal choice for organizations looking to enhance their data networking infrastructure. It adapts well to the evolving demands of enterprise IT and plays a significant role in high-performance networking scenarios.
