Product Overview
Hardware features
Figure 1 shows the TurboIron 24X.
FIGURE 1 TurboIron 24X
TurboIron 24X contains the following ports:
• Twenty-four (24) SFP+ 10 Gigabit and Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports
• Four (4) 10/100/1000 Mbps copper ports, supporting 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T RJ-45 connectors
Control features
TurboIron 24X front panel has the following control features:
• Serial management interface-DB-9 connector interface (Console Port)
• 10/100/1000 RJ-45 Management Port
FIGURE 2 Console and management ports
Serial management interface (Console port)
The serial management interface (port labeled Console) enables you to configure and manage the device using a third-party terminal
emulation application on a directly-connected PC, straight-through EIA or TIA DB-9 serial cable (M/F) is included. The console port is
located in the upper right of the front panel.
Management port
The Management port provides connectivity to your existing management network through 10/100/1000 copper ports that uses
auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and mode (full-duplex or half-duplex)
of the port at the other end of the link, and adjusts port speed accordingly. The Management port on the TurboIron 24X supports RJ-45
copper connectors, auto MDI or MDIX detection, and has an RJ-45 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) connector.
NOTE
This port interfaces with the CPU only and not the data plane.

10 Gbps ports
Ports 1 - 24 support 1-GbE SFP transceivers and 10-GbE SFP and SFP+ transceivers listed in Table 1. Figure 3 shows ports 1 - 24.
FIGURE 3 24 10-GbE ports
Four 10/100/1000 Mbps ports
The ports 25~28 are 10/100/1000 copper ports that use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the speed (10 Mbps, 100
Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) and mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the other end of the link, and adjust port speed accordingly.
10/100/1000 ports on the TurboIron 24X support RJ-45 copper connectors. The output of the show media command displays Cnext
to the ports that have copper connectors installed.
Gigabit copper ports on the TurboIron 24X support auto MDI or MDIX detection. For more information about this feature, refer to
"Configuring MDI/MDIX" in the TurboIron Configuration Guide.
10GbE SFP+ transceiver
TurboIron 24X support a 10GbE SFP+ transceiver specifically for ports 1-24. LEDs on the module faceplates indicate operational status:
• If the LED is on, the port is connected. If the LED is off, no connection exists, or the link is down
• If the LED is on or blinking, traffic is being transmitted and received on the port
LEDs for network interfaces and power supplies
The fiber and copper ports on TurboIron 24X provide status information through the LEDs listed in Table 2. The LEDs for network
interfaces and power supplies are:
• 24 10-Gbps fiber ports (1~24 port) have LEDs located under each of them.
• Four 10/100/1000 copper ports (25~28) have Link and Activity LEDs to indicate port status.

Product Overview
Hardware features
Figure 4 shows the front panel of the AC power supplies used in the TurboIron 24X (at the rear of the device).
FIGURE 4 AC power supply front panel
The power supplies are auto-sensing and auto-switching, and provide up to 300 watts of total output power, having a universal input (90
VAC to 264 VAC) and 12 VDC regulated output.
Power supplies can be swapped in or out of the device while the device is running, and without opening the device. You can remove one
of the supplies without interrupting operation because the remaining power supply provides enough power for all of the ports.
For power supply hardware specifications, refer to “Power supply specifications” on page 55.
Disconnect the power supply cable from the power source (outlet) before you install it in or remove it from
the device. Failure to do this can result in damage to the power supply or the device, or both (the device
can be running while a power supply is being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not
be connected to a power source).
The TurboIron 24X power supply is designed exclusively for use with TurboIron 24X. Installing the power
supply in a device other than a TurboIron 24X will cause extensive damage to your equipment.
