Dell PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure Owner's Manual

The PowerConnect M8024 switch module incorporates two optional bays that support the following modules:

• A 10 Gb Ethernet module with four optical SFP+ connectors
• A 10 Gb Ethernet module with three copper CX4 uplinks
• A 10 Gb Ethernet module with two copper 10GBASE-T uplinks

The modules can be used in any combination and are sold separately.

You can initially configure the switch using either of two methods:

• Connect an external management system to the switch using an optional USB type-A form factor serial cable, and configure the switch using a terminal application.
• Use the iKVM CMC console (“17th blade”) and the connect switch-n CMC CLI command. For more information, see the CMC User’s Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

Once an IP address is assigned to the management VLAN or interface and the switch is connected to a management network, both Telnet and http are available through the network.
