Optional Four-port 1 Gbps SFP and 10 Gbps SFP+ modules
The PowerConnect B-FCX 624 and PowerConnect B-FCX648 devices include a slot on the front
panel for a four-port 1 Gbps SFP module, or a four-port 10 Gbps SFP+ module. The 1 Gbps SFP
module operates at 1 Gbps full duplex, and the 10 Gbps SFP+ module operates at 10 Gbps full
duplex.
PowerConnect B-FCX624 and PowerConnect B-FCX648 devices can be used in an IronStack by
installing the optional 10 Gbps SFP+ module, and connecting devices using standard duplex LC
cables. These devices cannot be combined in a stack with non-PowerConnect B-FCX devices. For
detailed information about how to configure PowerConnect B-FCX devices in an IronStack topology,
see the PowerConnect B-FCX Series Configuration Guide.
NOTE
The 1 Gbps SFP and 10 Gbps SFP+ modules are not hot-swappable.
