Configuring the I/O Modules 67
PowerConnect M8024 10 Gb Ethernet Switch I/O Module
The PowerConnect M8024 switch module incorporates two optional 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
• A 10 Gb Ethernet module with two copper 10GBASE-T uplinks
The modules can be used in any combination and are sold separately.
You can initially configure the switch using either of two methods:
• Connect an external management system to the switch using an optional
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-
n
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.
