Optional Four-port 1 Gbps SFP and 10 Gbps SFP+ modules

The PowerConnect B-FCX624 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.
