Table 1-1 Hardware Features Feature Description Auto-negotiation Supported on all ports. Forwarding Modes Store and Forward. Mac Address Table 2816: 32Gbps Port throughput 2824: 48Gbps Auto MDI/MDIX Supported on all ports. The Switch offers priority queuing, which means all packets that are received are examined to see if they have been priority encoded.
Feature Description The Switch has 24/16 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating ports. Each port automatically negotiates with the attached device to determine the correct speed and duplex mode of operation. Once negotiated, the port will operate in one of the following modes: 10BASE-T half duplex 10BASE-T full duplex 100BASE-TX half duplex...

Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the switch. Air flow is not restricted around the switch or through the vents in the side of the switch. 3Com recommends that you provide a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance.
The AC supply used by the switch is separate from that used by units that generate high levels of AC noise, for example air conditioning units. No more than four switch units are placed on top of one another, if the units are free-standing. Rack Mounting The Switch is 1U high and fits in most standard 19-inch racks.
Figure 2-1 Fitting a front bracket for rack-mounting You must use the screws supplied with the securing brackets. Damage caused to the unit by using incorrect screws invalidates your warranty. 4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other side of the switch. 5) Insert the switch into the 19-inch rack and secure with suitable screws.

3) Connect the plug to the power supply outlet socket and switch on the power supply at the socket.
Problem Solving At regular intervals you should visually check the Switch. Regular checks can give you an early warning of a possible failure. Check that all external cabling connections are secure and that no cables are pulled taut. Refer to the information about LEDs given earlier in this guide to see if the problem can be identified and solved.
