Model Overview

The physical hardware model overview of the W-3000 Series Controllers covers all three models within the series. The difference between the three controller models is dependent on the licensing level purchased. The controller model depicted in the illustrations throughout this chapter is the W-3200.

Note: Ports zero through three are dual-media ports and can utilize either the 1000Base-X or 10/100/1000Base-T connections provided. However, the 1000Base-X fiber connection has priority over the 10/100/1000Base-T copper connection. If a link is detected for the 1000Base-X interface, the 10/100/1000Base-T connection will be disabled.

1000Base-X (SFP) Ports

There are four 1000Base-X combination ports for fiber connectivity only and are intended for use with Dell SFPs (mini-GBICs).

To purchase compatible SFP modules, contact your Dell representative for details and assistance.

Note: Dell tests and supports Dell optics within their controller systems. Third party optics are not tested or supported; therefore, Dell does not guarantee proper functionality of third party optics.
