PowerConnect M6348 1 Gb Ethernet Switch I/O Module

The PowerConnect M6348 is a hot-swappable 48-port 1 Gb Ethernet switch.

While 16 ports are external uplink ports, the remaining 32 internal ports

provide connectivity to the blades within the enclosure with a maximum

bandwidth of 1 Gbps each. The PowerConnect M6348 switch also supports:

• Two integrated 10 Gb Ethernet SFP+ connectors
• Two integrated CX4 connectors for stacking or 10 Gb uplinks
• One console management connector

It is recommended that you use the PowerConnect M6348 switch with

quad-port mezzanine cards for maximum functionality. The quad-port

mezzanine cards and the PowerConnect M6348 Ethernet switch enable an

increased bandwidth (two 1 Gbps lanes), higher port density, and server

module consolidation.
