Introducing the Switch
yl Module Slot
These switches support one yl module. The yl module provides 4 ports:
■ two 10-GbE CX4 fixed copper ports
■ two 10-GbE flexible media slots that support a number of different
transceivers. See the ProCurve Switch yl Module Installation Guide for
more information on supported transceivers.
RPS and EPS Input Port
The Series 3500yl and 6200yl Switches support connectivity to a redundant
power supply. The “ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply
(RPS/EPS) is an accessory product for these Switches. The RPS/EPS provides
redundant and additional PoE power to the switch products to back up the
power supply in the switch in case of loss of AC or PoE power. Or If maximum
PoE power is being used on all 48 ports, a 620 RPS/EPS will be necessary to
provide full power to the second 24 ports, and in this case, there would be no
redundancy.
Console Port
This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable
supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “Connect a
Console to the Switch” in chapter 2, “Installing the Switch.” The console can
be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100
terminal. The console port is located on the front of the 3500yl-24G and 6200yl-
24G, and on the back of the 3500yl-48G.
Power Connector
The Series 3500yl and 6200yl Switches do not have a power switch; they are
powered on when connected to an active AC power source. These switches
automatically adjust to any voltage between 100--240 volts and either 50 or 60
Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.
