Front and Back Panels

Figure 2-1 shows the key components on the front and back panels of the FS726 Switch. Figure 2-2 shows the key components on the front and back panels of the FS750 Switch.

The front panel of each switch contains a reset button, an LED Mode push button for alternating LED readout categories, Link LEDs, Mode LEDs, RJ-45 jacks, and two module bays for installing Gigabit Ethernet modules. Both the FS726 Switch and the FS750 Switch support Auto Uplink technology, eliminating the need for a Normal/Uplink push button.

The back panel of each switch has fans for cooling, and a standard AC power receptacle for accommodating the supplied power cord.
