Using the Centillion EtherSpeedII Switch Modules

Hot-Swapping Capability
You can insert EtherSpeedII switch modules into or remove them from a chassis
without interrupting service to other modules within the Centillion 50/100 chassis.
This feature is called hot-swapping.
10/100 Mb/s Autonegotiation Ports
The EtherSpeedII 10/100BASE-T switch module contains 20 10/100 Mb/s UTP
autonegotiating Ethernet ports with shielded RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45
connectors accept Category 3 or 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or shielded
twisted pair (STP) cable and are wired as MDI-X ports to connect end stations to
patch panels without using crossover cables.
Caution: Be sure to remove cables from all ports on the module, or disable all
the ports through the management interface, prior to hot-swapping.
Note: See Appendix B, Cables and Connectors, for information about
wiring and pin assignments.
