Introducing the Switch
The HP ProCurve 3500, 3500yl and 6200yl switches are multiport switches that
can be used to build high-performance switched networks. These switches
are store-and-forward devices offering low latency for high-speed networking.
The 3500 and 3500yl switches also support Redundant Power Supply and
Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) technologies. The 6200yl switch supports
Redundant Power Supply only.
Non-PoE Switches
The 3500yl-24G and 3500yl-48G switches have 20 and 44 auto-sensing 10/100/
1000-T RJ-45 ports and 4 dual-personality ports—either auto-sensing 10/100/
1000Base-T RJ-45 or mini-GBIC.
The 6200yl-24G mGBIC switch has 24 mini-GBIC (SFP) ports for gigabit speed
connectivity.

PoE Switches
The 3500-24 and 3500-24-PoE switches have 20 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX
RJ-45 ports and 4 dual-personality ports—either auto-sensing 10/100/1000-T
or SFP transceiver.
The 3500-48 and 3500-48-PoE switches have 44 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX
RJ-45 ports and 4 dual-personality ports—either auto-sensing 10/100/1000-T
or SFP transceiver.
In each of the 3500yl-24G-PWR and 3500yl-48G-PWR switches, one slot is
provided in the back of the device to support a four port (two fixed CX4 ports
and two X2 transceiver ports) 10 Gigabit per second Ethernet (10-GbE)
module.

The 3500yl-24G-PoE+ switch has 20 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports
and 4 dual-personality ports—either auto-sensing 10/100/1000-T or SFP+
transceiver.
The 3500yl-48G-PoE+ switch has 44 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports
and 4 dual-personality ports—either auto-sensing 10/100/1000-T or SFP+
transceiver.
In each of the 3500yl-24G-PoE+ and 3500yl-48G-PoE+ switches, one slot is
provided in the back of the device to support a two port (two SFP+ transceiver
ports) 10 Gigabit per second Ethernet (10-GbE) module.
These products support optional network connectivity with the following
speeds and technologies listed in Table 1-1 on page 1-3.

Introducing the Switch
Introducing the Switch
The 3500yl, 3500-24-PoE and 3500-48-PoE switches are designed to support
Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. The switches support 802.3af
standard devices and some pre-standard PoE devices. The 3500yl-24G-PoE+
and 3500-48G-PoE+ switches are designed to support Power over Ethernet
plus (PoE+) technology. The switches support 802.3at standard devices and
some pre-standard PoE devices. For a list of these devices, see the FAQs for
your switch model. This feature is the default and you must disable it if you
do not want to use it. (Refer to the Management and Configuration Guide
which is on the HP ProCurve Web site, www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals. (See
page 5-1 for details.)

Introducing the Switch
Introducing the Switch
The dual-personality ports support either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T
RJ-45 connectors, or SFP (mini-GBIC) transceivers, or on the 3500yl-PoE+
switches SFP+ tranceivers. The SFP ports do not support PoE/PoE+. If any
of the SFP/SFP+ ports are used, the corresponding RJ-45 port will not be
supplied with PoE/PoE+ power and will be disabled. For more information
regarding the PoE/PoE+ capabilities of the 3500yl , 3500 PoE or 3500yl-PoE+
switches, see the HP ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning
and Implementation Guide which is on the HP ProCurve Web site,
www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals.
The 3500 and 3500yl switches can be connected to an HP ProCurve 620
Redundant and External Power Supply (RPS/EPS) and receive redundant
power from that unit. If the internal power supply in the switch fails, the RPS/
EPS unit will immediately provide all the power necessary to keep the switch
running. This includes power to run the switch and PoE power. If maximum
PoE power is being used on all 48 ports, a 620 RPS/EPS is necessary to provide
full power to the second 24 ports, and in this case, there is no redundancy.
The 6200yl switch can be connected to the HP ProCurve 620 Redundant and
External Power Supply (RPS/EPS) and receive redundant power from that
unit. If the internal power supply in the switch fails, the RPS/EPS unit will
immediately provide the power necessary to keep the switch running. The
6200yl does not support PoE power.
The 3500yl-PoE+ switches can be connected to an HP ProCurve 630
Redundant and/or External Power Supply (RPS/EPS) and receive redundant
power from that unit. If the internal power supply in the switch fails, the RPS/
EPS unit will immediately provide all the power necessary to keep the switch
running. This includes power to run the switch and PoE+ power. If maximum
PoE+ power is being used on all 48 ports, a 630 RPS/EPS is necessary to
provide full power to the second 24 ports, and in this case, there is no
redundancy.
The 6200yl, 3500yl and 3500 switches are designed to be used primarily as a
high-density wiring closet or desktop switch. These switches can directly
connect computers, printers and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to
those devices. By connecting the switch to hubs, other switches or routers,
they can be used to build a switched network infrastructure. In addition, the
3500yl switches offer full network management capabilities.
This chapter describes the 3500yl, 6200yl and 3500 switches, including:

Network Ports
■All RJ-45 ports provide “HP Auto MDIX” features, which means you can
use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect
any network devices to the switch.
■The 3500 and 3500yl switches provide four, dual-personality ports that
support either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connector or an HP ProCurve
SFP (mini-GBIC) for fiber-optic connections. The 3500yl-PoE+ switches
support SFP+ transceivers for 10-GbE fiber optic connections.
The RJ-45 connectors support the IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X feature, which
means you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair
cables to connect any network device to the switch.
Dual-Personality Port Operation. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are
enabled. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, it is enabled and the associ-
ated RJ-45 connector is disabled and cannot be used. If the mini-GBIC is
removed, the associated RJ-45 port is automatically re-enabled.
The RJ-45 connector also supplies PoE/PoE+ power until a mini-GBIC/
SFP+ is installed. The PoE/PoE+ power is turned off when a mini-GBIC
is plugged in.
■Each of the 3500yl and 6200yl switches have one, 10 gigabit expansionslot
that can accept one of two modules. Only the 3500yl and 6200yl switches
support a yl module. The 3500 switches do not support a module slot.
