This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, side panels, and LED indicators of the
DGS-3224TGR.
Front Panel
The front panel of the switch consists of LED indicators, an RS-232 communication port, 24
1000BASE-T ports, and 4 mini-GBIC combo ports.
Figure 3-1. Front panel view
• An RS-232 DCE console port for setting up and managing the switch via a connection to a
console terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program.
• Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network (see the LED
Indicators section below).
• Twenty-four 1000BASE-T Ethernet ports for 10/100/1000 connections to a backbone, end
stations, and servers.
• Four mini-GBIC combo ports to connect fiber optic media to another switch, server, or network
backbone.
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the switch contains an external Redundant Power Supply connector and an AC power
connector.
Figure 3-2. Rear panel view
• The external Redundant Power Supply connector is used to connect the DGS-3224TGR to a
DPS-300. An auto-switch circuit automatically switches to an external RPS once the internal
power supply fails. Transition from internal to external supply shall not disturb normal
operation.
