See the Stratix 8000 Ethernet Managed Switches Software User Manual,
publication 1783-UM003A , for more information on alarm configuration..

Cable and Connectors .
Console Port For configuring, monitoring, and managing the switch, you can connect a
switch to a computer through the console port and the supplied RJ45-to-DB-9
adapter cable. If you want to connect a switch to a terminal, you need to
provide an RJ45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. For console-port and
adapter-pinout information, see the
Two Twisted-pair Straight-through Cable
Schematic on page 76 .
Dual-Purpose Uplink Ports The two dual-purpose uplink ports may each be configured for RJ45 (copper)
or SFP (fiber) media types. Only one of these connections in each of the
dual-purpose ports can be active at a time. If both ports are connected, the
SFP module port has priority.
You can set the copper RJ45 ports to operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s in
full-duplex or half-duplex mode. You can configure them as fixed 10, 100, or
1000 Mb/s (Gigabit) Ethernet ports and can configure the duplex setting.
You can use approved Gigabit (or 100 Mbps) Ethernet SFP modules to
establish fiber-optic connections to other switches. These transceiver modules
are field-replaceable, providing the uplink interfaces when inserted in an SFP
module slot. You use fiber-optic cables with LC connectors to connect to a
fiber-optic SFP module. These ports operate in the full duplex mode only.
WARNING
If you connect or disconnect the console cable with power
applied to the switch or any device on the network, an electrical
arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the
area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
To verify switch operation, perform POST on the switch in a
nonhazardous location before installation.
