The OS6648 is a stackable edge/workgroup switch offering 48 10/100 Ethernet ports. The OS6648 can also be equipped with up to four Gigabit Ethernet ports for connections to a high speed backbone or server.

The front panel of the OS6648 chassis contains the following major components:

•Console (DB-9) port

•Stack indicator LED

•48 10/100 Ethernet ports

•One slot for OS6600-GNI-U2 (fiber) or OS6600-GNI-C2 (copper) Gigabit Ethernet uplink module

•One slot for Gigabit Ethernet uplink module as described above or stacking module

Note. The OmniSwitch 6648 is also known as the OmniSwitch 6600-48.

Refer to the illustration below for more front panel information. For detailed LED descriptions, refer to page 2-18. For information on the chassis rear panel, refer to page 2-20.

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 con- nector 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.

Status and Slot Indicator LEDs For information on the OS6648’s status and slot indicator LEDs, refer to page 2-18.

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 Chapter 4, “Managing OmniSwitch 6600 Family Stacks,” for detailed infor- mation.

10/100 Ethernet Ports

The OS6648 provides 48 10/100 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 stack. For detailed information on stacking switches, refer to Chapter 4, “Managing OmniSwitch 6600 Family Stacks.”
