Introduction
This document provides basic information about the Dell PowerConnect
M8024-k switches, including how to install a switch and perform the initial
configuration. For information about how to configure and monitor switch
features, see the User’s Configuration Guide, which is available on the Dell
Support website at http://support.dell.com/manuals for the latest updates on
documentation and firmware.
This document contains the following sections:
• Hardware Overview

PowerConnect M8024-k Overview
The PowerConnect M8024-k is a Layer 3, 10-Gigabit Ethernet blade switch
that operates in the PowerEdge M1000e system. The M1000e system can
support up to 16 server blades and six PowerConnect M8024-k blade
switches.

6Getting Started Guide
Hardware Overview
This section contains information about device characteristics and modular
hardware configurations for the PowerConnect M8024-k switches.
PowerConnect M8024-k has the following physical dimensions:
• 274.75 x 309.24 x 33.45 mm (W x D x H).
• 10.81 x 12.17 x 1.32 inches (W x D x H).
Internal Ports
PowerConnect M8024-k provides 16 internal 10-Gigabit Ethernet internal
ports. The 16 internal ports are connected to server blades through the
M1000e chassis mid-plane.
The M8024-k also provides an internal Ethernet interface—the out-of-band
(OOB) interface—which is dedicated to switch management. The OOB
interface is connected to the chassis management controller through the
chassis mid-plane. Traffic on this port is segregated from operational network
traffic on the switch ports and cannot be switched or routed to the
operational network.
Front Panel
The following image shows the PowerConnect M8024-k front panel:

The front panel includes four SFP+ ports an expansion slot for 10-Gigabit
modules. The front panel also provides a USB serial console interface for
management functions and LEDs for port and system status.

SFP+ Ports
PowerConnect M8024-k provides four SFP+ ports with SR, LR, and LRM
transceivers and SFP+ direct attach cables. SFP transceivers and direct
attach cables are sold separately.
Expansion Slot
The 10G expansion slot supports the following modules:
• SFP+ (four ports)
• CX-4 (three ports)
• 10GBASE-T (two ports)
The modules are sold separately.
USB Console Port
The USB console port is for management through an RS-232serial interface.
This port provides a direct connection to the switch and allows you to access
the CLI from a console terminal connected to the port through the provided
serial cable (with USB type-A to female DB-9 connectors).
The console port supports asynchronous data of eight data bits, one stop bit, no
parity bit, and no flow control. The default baud rate is 9600 bps.
Port and System LEDs
The front panel contains light emitting diodes (LEDs) that provide
information about the status of the PowerConnect M8024-k unit.

Installation
Site Preparation
Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen
installation location meets the following site requirements:
• Clearance — There is adequate front and rear clearance for operator
access. Allow clearance for cabling, power connections, and ventilation.
•
Cabling — The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise such
as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent
lighting fixtures.
•
Ambient Temperature — The ambient switch operating temperature
range is 10° to 35ºC (50° to 95ºF).
NOTE: Decrease the maximum temperature by 1°C (1.8°F) per 300 m (985 ft.)
above 900 m (2955 ft.).
• Relative Humidity — The operating relative humidity is 8% to 85%
(non-condensing) with a maximum humidity gradation of 10% per hour.
