PowerConnect M8024 10 Gb Ethernet Switch I/O Module

The PowerConnect M8024 switch module incorporates two option bays that

support the following modules:

• A 10 Gb Ethernet module with four optical SFP+ connectors

• A 10 Gb Ethernet module with three copper CX4 uplinks

You can initially configure the switch using either of two methods:

• Connect an external management system to the switch using an USB type-

A form factor serial cable, and configure the switch using a terminal

application.

• Use the iKVM CMC console (“17th blade”) and the

connect switch-

CMC CLI command. For more information, see the CMC user’s guide.

Once an IP address is assigned to the management VLAN or interface and the

switch is connected to a management network, both Telnet and http are

available through the network.
