Appendix A: Cautions and Warnings

Caution Statements

A caution calls your attention to a possible hazard that can damage equipment.

"Vorsicht” weist auf die Gefahr einer möglichen Beschädigung des Gerätes in.

Une mise en garde attire votre attention sur un risque possible d'endommagement de l'équipement. Ci-dessous, vous trouverez les mises en garde utilisées dans ce manuel.

Un mensaje de precaución le advierte sobre un posible peligro que pueda dañar el equipo. Las siguientes son precauciones utilizadas en este manual.

CAUTION: Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device. Otherwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged as a result. (The device can be running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source.)

VORSICHT: Trennen Sie das Stromkabel vom Netzteil ab, bevor es installiert oder vom Gerät entfernt wird. Andernfalls kann das Netzteil oder Gerät beschädigt werden. (Das Gerät kann während der Installation oder Entfernen eines Netzteils laufen. Allerdings sollte das Netzteil an keine Stromquelle angeschlossen sein.)

MISE EN GARDE : Afin d'éviter d'endommager le bloc d'alimentation, assurez-vous que le cordon d'alimentation ne soit pas connecté à une source de courant lorsque celui-ci est inséré or retiré du châssis. Le commutateur peut fonctionner en utilisant une source de courant alternative au bloc d'alimentation que l'on veut insérer ou enlever, mais il est important que celui que l'on insère ou retire ne soit pas raccordé électriquement.

PRECAUCIÓN Retire el cable de alimentación de un suministro de energía antes de instalarlo en él o de retirarlo del dispositivo. De no hacerse así, el suministro de energía o el dispositivo podrían resultar dañados. (El dispositivo puede estar funcionando mientras se está instalando o retirando un suministro de energía, pero el suministro de energía en sí no deberá estar conectado a una toma de corriente)

CAUTION: To avoid improper ventilation to the switch’s internal circuitry and units, never leave an empty slot uncovered. If a removed power supply is not replaced, insert the supplied blank PSU filler into the slot and fasten it to the panel with the two screws.

VORSICHT: Ein leerer Steckplatz darf unter keinen Umständen zugedeckt werden, um eine mangelnde Be- und Entlüftung der Schaltkreise und Bauteile im Schalter auszuschließen. Falls ein abentferntes Netzteil nicht wieder ersetzt wird, benutzen Sie bitte die mitgelieferte Abdeck-Blende und schrauben Sie diese mit den beiden Schrauben an die Frontplatte

MISE EN GARDE : Pour éviter un dysfonctionnement du circuit de ventilation et ainsi un mauvais refroidissement des éléments qui composent le dispositif, ne laissez jamais un emplacement vide non couvert. Si un bloc d’alimentation enlevé n’est pas remplacé, insérez un cache de bloc d’alimentation dans l’emplacement vide et fixez-le au panneau avec les deux vis

PRECAUCIÓN: Para evitar una ventilación inadecuada a la circuitería interna y unidades del interruptor, no deje nunca un slot vacío al descubierto. Si un suministro de

M2404F, M2404C specifications

Foundry Networks, a key player in the networking industry, has developed a range of high-performance Ethernet switches designed to meet the demands of modern data centers and enterprise environments. Among these products, the M2404C and M2404F switches stand out for their robust features and capabilities.

The M2404C is engineered for flexibility and high performance, offering Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities. It supports a wide array of routing protocols, including OSPF, BGP, and RIP, making it suitable for various network architectures. The switch provides up to 48 Ethernet ports with a combination of Gigabit and 10 Gigabit interfaces, ensuring it can handle high bandwidth requirements. This modularity allows organizations to scale their networks seamlessly as their needs evolve.

On the other hand, the M2404F focuses on fiber connectivity and is designed with an emphasis on high-speed fiber handling. This switch also supports advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, but its standout feature is its support for higher-speed interfaces, like 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports. It is ideal for businesses that require efficient long-distance data transmission and reliable network performance.

Both models feature Foundry's innovative Fabric Technology, which enhances throughput and reduces latency. This technology optimizes data flow and improves overall service quality, making these switches suitable for mission-critical applications. Additionally, they boast a comprehensive management system that simplifies network administration. Foundry Networks emphasizes security, incorporating advanced features like Access Control Lists (ACLs), RADIUS, and TACACS+ support to help secure the network infrastructure.

Scalability is another critical aspect of the M2404C and M2404F. These switches allow for stacking, enabling organizations to expand their network without sacrificing performance. Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities in the M2404C provide added convenience for powering devices like IP phones and wireless access points.

In summary, Foundry Networks' M2404C and M2404F switches deliver exceptional performance, advanced features, and robust security, making them an excellent choice for organizations seeking to enhance their networking infrastructure. With their modular design and ability to support high-speed connectivity, they are well-suited for a variety of applications, from enterprise environments to data center deployments.
