FGS624XGP and FGS624XGP-POE
The FGS624XGP is POE-upgradeable. You can upgrade it by installing a POE daughter card.
The FGS624XGP-POE already has the POE daughter cards installed.
Figure 2.2 shows the FGS624XGP and FGS624XGP-POE.
Figure 2.2 FGS624XGP and FGS624XGP-POE
The FGS624XGP and FGS624XGP-POE have the following ports:
• 24 10/100/1000 Copper ports that support 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T RJ-45 connectors
• Four Gigabit Fiber uplink ports (1F – 4F) for mini-GBIC optical transceivers (also called Small Form Factor
Pluggable (SFP) Multisource Agreement (MSA)-compliant optical transceivers)
Note that ports 1 – 4 of the copper ports and 1F – 4F of the fiber ports are combination ports, meaning either
the copper port or its corresponding fiber port can be active at a time. For example, for copper port 1 and
fiber port 1F, only one of these ports can be active at any given time. The same applies to copper port 2 and
fiber port 2F, and so forth. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports or all four copper or all four
fiber ports, as needed. For more information, see “Combination Ports” on page 2-7.
• One built-in 10-GbE port. See “10 Gbps Ports” on page 2-7.
• Optionally, two additional 10-GbE ports. See “10 Gbps Ports” on page2-7.
FGS648P and FGS648P-POE
The FGS648P is POE-upgradeable. You can upgrade it to a POE device by installing one or two POE daughter
cards. A single POE daughter card supports 24 POE ports. Two POE daughter cards support 48 POE ports.
The FGS648P-POE already has the POE daughter cards installed.
