Hardware Overview

This section contains information about device characteristics and modular
hardware configurations for the PowerConnect M8024-k switches.
PowerConnect M8024-k has the following physical dimensions:
• 274.75 x 309.24 x 33.45 mm (W x D x H).
• 10.81 x 12.17 x 1.32 inches (W x D x H).

Internal Ports

PowerConnect M8024-k provides 16 internal 10-Gigabit Ethernet internal
ports. The 16 internal ports are connected to server blades through the
M1000e chassis mid-plane.
The M8024-k also provides an internal Ethernet interface—the out-of-band
(OOB) interface—which is dedicated to switch management. The OOB
interface is connected to the chassis management controller through the
chassis mid-plane. Traffic on this port is segregated from operational network
traffic on the switch ports and cannot be switched or routed to the
operational network.
