PowerConnect 2708/2716/2724/2748 Front Panel Port Description

The Dell™ PowerConnect™ 2708, 2716, 2724 and 2748 switches use 10/100/1000BASE-T ports on the front panel for connecting to a network.

The Gigabit Ethernet ports can operate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. These ports support auto- negotiation, duplex mode (Half or Full duplex), and flow control. The combo 1000 Mbps optical ports can only operate at 1000 Mbps, full-duplex mode.

The following figures illustrate the front panels and back panels of the PowerConnect 2708/2716/2724/2748 switches.

Figure 2-1. PowrConnect 2708 Front Panel

On the front panel there are eight ports which are numbered 1 to 8, top down and left to right. On each port there are LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) to indicate the port status.

On the left side of the front panel is the Managed Mode LED which indicates the Ethernet switch operational status. The Power LED on the front panel indicates whether the device is powered on or not. A Managed Mode push-button, located on the right side on the front panel, restores the device’s default settings configuration.
