SAFETY COMPLIANCE

Warning: Fiber-optic Port Safety

When using a fiber-optic media expansion module, never look at the transmit laser while it is
powered on. Also, never look dir ectly at the fiber TX port and fiber cable ends when they are
powered on.

Avertissment: Ports pour fibres optiques - sécurité sur le plan optique

Ne regardez jamais le laser tant qu’il est sous tension. Ne regardez jamais directement le port TX
(Transmission) à fibres optiques et les embouts de câbles à fibres optiques tant qu'ils sont sous
tension.

Warnhinweis: Faseroptikanschlüsse - Optische Sicherheit

Niemals ein Übertragungslaser betrachten, während dieses eingeschaltet ist. Niemals direkt auf den
Faser-TX-Anschluß und auf die Faserkabelenden schauen, während diese eingeschaltet sind.

8. Beachten Sie beim Anschluß an das Stromnetz die Anschlußwerte.

9. Verlegen Sie die Netzanschlußleitung so, daß niemand darüber fallen kann. Es sollte auch nichts auf der Leitung

abgestellt werden.

10. Alle Hinweise und Warnungen, die sich am Gerät befinden, sind zu beachten.

11. Wird das Gerät über einen längeren Zeitraum nicht benutzt, sollten Sie es vom Stromnetz trennen. Somit wird im Falle

einer Überspannung eine Beschädigung vermieden.

12. Durch die Lüftungsöffnungen dürfen niemals Gegenstände oder Flüssigkeiten in das Gerät gelangen. Dies könnte

einen Brand bzw. elektrischen Schlag auslösen.

13. Öffnen sie niemals das Gerät. Das Gerät darf aus Gründen der elektrischen Sicherheit nur von authorisiertem

Servicepersonal geöffnet werden.

SAFETY INFORMATION

CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS

LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS

When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power
exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10

Removing the optical connector from the transceive r allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The
maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is 0.8 W cm

Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output
increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.

Introduction

This chapter introduces the C1H124-48 and C1G124-24 standalone Ethernet switch devices.

Important Notice

Depending on the firmware version used in the device, some features described in this docum e nt
may not be supported. Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the device to determine which
features are supported.

1.1 OVERVIEW

The following provides an overview of the C1H124-48 and C1G124-24.

C1H124-48

The C1H124-48 (Figure 1-1) has several types of port connections, which include

• forty-eight front panel RJ45 ports (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX compliant),

• two front panel RJ45 ports (1000BASE-T compliant), and

• two expansion slots for optional Mini-GBIC interface modules.

The 10/100 Mbps fixed front panel ports can operate in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode, as
determined by Auto-Negotiation.

A single LED is provided for each port to indicate link status and activity. The LED is lit when there
is a link, and flashes when there is traffic.

Ports

C1G124-24

The C1G124-24 (Figure 1-2) has several types of port connections, which include

• twenty-four front panel RJ45 ports (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T compliant), and

• four expansion slots for optional Mini-GBIC interface modules.

The 10/100/1000 Mbps fixed front panel ports can operate in either half-duplex or full-duplex
mode, as determined by Auto-Negotiation.

On the C1G124-24, there are four additional slots labeled 21 through 24 for 1-Gbps fiber-optic
connections via optional Mini-GBICs. However, the C1G124-24 can only support 24 slots. Using
any or all of the four additional Mini-GBIC slots (21 through 24) automatically disables the same
number of fixed RJ45 ports on a first-come, first-served basis during the system initialization
process.

For example, connections made to Mini-GBICs in Mini-GBIC slot 21 and 23 before initializing
the system, disables the fixed RJ45 ports 21 and 23. However, if connections are made after
initialization, the Mini-GBIC connections are ignored and the fixed RJ45 ports 21 and 23 remain
enabled.

The 10/100/1000 Mbps fixed front panel ports can operate in either half-duplex or full-duplex
mode, as determined by Auto-Negotiation.

A single LED is provided for each port to indicate link status and acti vity . The LED is lit when there
is a link, and flashes when there is traffic.
