Product Overview
PoE and PoE+ Ports
The ports provide PoE+ support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, and ePoE and also
provide Cisco prestandard PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.
The maximum switch power output is either 740 W or 370 W, depending on the switch model. Intelligent
power management allows flexible power allocation across all ports.
For switches with a 740 W power budget, you can budget the PoE and PoE+:
15.4 W of PoE output on 48 ports
•

•
For switches with a 370 W power budget, you can budget the PoE and PoE+:
15.4 W of PoE output on 24 ports
•
7.7 W of PoE output on 48 ports
•
30 W of PoE+ on 12 ports
•
Total power budget can be allocated among the ports
•
On a per-port basis, you control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone or an
access point is connected.
The PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters).
The 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.
Cisco intelligent power management capabilities include enhanced power negotiation, power reservation, and
per-port power policing. For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports, see the switch software
configuration guide on Cisco.com.
The output of the PoE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.Note
10/100/1000 Ports
The 10/100/1000 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet
(100 meters). The 100BASE-TX traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or Category 4 UTP cable.

Management Ports
The management ports connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server.
Ethernet management port.
•
RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232).
•
USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector).
•
The 10/100 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-through cable.
The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The USB console port
connection uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B cable. The USB console interface speeds are the same
as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.
If you use the USB mini-Type B console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed on
any PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do not
require special drivers.
The 4-pin mini-Type B connector resembles the 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible. Use
only the 5-pin mini-Type B.
Product Overview
This illustration shows a 5-pin mini-Type B USB port.
Figure 3: USB Mini-Type B Port
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable from the console
port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations.
The console output always goes to both the RJ-45 and the USB console connectors, but the console input is
active on only one of the console connectors at any one time. The USB console takes precedence over the
RJ-45 console. When a cable is connected into the USB console port, the RJ-45 console port becomes inactive.
Conversely, when the USB cable is disconnected from the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.
You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure an inactivity timeout which reactivates the RJ-45
console if the USB console has been activated and no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a
specified time.
After the USB console deactivates due to inactivity, you cannot use the CLI to reactivate it. Disconnect and
reconnect the USB cable to reactivate the USB console. For information on using the CLI to configure the
USB console interface, see the software guide.

Product Overview
USB Type A Port
The USB Type A port provides access to external USB flash devices (also known as thumb drives or USB
keys).
The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB (USB devices with port
densities of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB are supported). When combined with stacking, you can
upgrade other switches in the stack from an USB key inserted in any switch within the stack. Cisco IOS
software provides standard file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as the
ability to format the flash device with a FAT file system. It provides you with the ability to automatically
upgrade the internal flash with the USB drive’s configuration and image for emergency switch recovery using
USB auto-upgrade. This feature checks the internal flash for a bootable image and configuration and if either
image or the configuration is not available, then the USB drive is checked for boot images and configuration.
If the boot image and configuration are available, these are copied to flash for the reboot.
SFP and SFP+ Module Slots
USB Type A Port
LEDs
The switch has either two or four 1-Gigabit SFP or two 10-Gigabit SFP+ module slots. The slots marked
SFP+ support both SFP and SFP+ modules. The SFP slots support only the SFP modules.

If your switches are stacked and you press the Mode button on any switch, all the switches display the same
selected mode. For example, if you press the Mode button on the stack master to display SPEED, all the other
stack members display SPEED.
Even if PoE mode is not selected, this LED still shows PoE problems if they are detected.
The STACK LED shows the sequence of member switches in a stack. Up to eight switches can be members
of a stack. The first eight port LEDs show the switch member number. For example, if you press the Mode
button and select Stack, the port LED 1 blinks green. The LEDs for port 2 and 3 are solid green, as these
represent the member numbers of other stack members. The other port LEDs are off because there are no
more members in the stack.
This figure shows the LEDs on the first switch, which is stack member number 1.

Console LEDs
Rear Panel
When you select the STACK LED, the respective STACK LEDs are green when the stack ports (on the switch
rear panel) are up, and the respective Stack LEDs are amber when the ports are down. SFP+ module port
LEDs 1 and 2 on the switch show the status for stack ports 1 and 2, respectively.
If the port LEDs are green on all the switches in the stack, the stack is operating at full bandwidth. If any port
LED is not green, the stack is not operating at full bandwidth.
The console LEDs show which console port is in use. If you connect a cable to a console port, the switch
automatically uses that port for console communication. If you connect two console cables, the USB console
port has priority.
