Introducing the Switch Introducing the Switch 1 Introducing the Switch The HP ProCurve Series 6600 Switches are top-of-rack data center switches that support advanced Layer three switching, and have reversible front-to- back airflow, and two hot-swappable power supplies. These switches can be used to build high-speed switched networks between servers in the data center.

Introducing the Switch The 6600-24G Switch has 20 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports, four dual-personality ports—either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 or mini- GBIC (Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)) ports. The 6600-24G-4XG Switch has the same ports as the Switch 6600-24G plus it also has 4 SFP+ slots for 10-GbE connectivity. The specification for SFP+ defines the physical and electrical characteristics of this form-factor (size and shape). The form-factor is identical to SFP

Introducing the Switch Introducing the Switch These switches are designed to be used primarily in data center environments mounted in equipment racks along with the servers they are connected to. These switches can directly connect servers to other servers or backbone LANs to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or routers. In addition, the Series 6600 Switches offer full network mana

Introducing the Switch Introducing the Switch Front of the Switch Switch LEDs State Meaning Test Off The normal operational state; the switch is not undergoing self test. (green/orange) On green The switch self test and initialization are in progress after the switch has been power cycled or reset. The switch is not operational until this LED goes off. The Self Test LED also comes on briefly when you “hot swap” a mini-GBIC into the switch; the mini-GBIC is self tested when it is hot swapped.

LED Power Save Mode The HP ProCurve 6600-24XG Switch (J9265A) has the ability to turn off defined groups of ports to save power through the use of a CLI command, “savepower”. This feature provides the capability to explicitly power down the ports, including the

Introducing the Switch Switch Features ■ The 6600-24G and the 6600-24G-4XG supports IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDIX on all 10/100/1000 twisted-pair ports, meaning that all connections can be made using straight-through twisted-pair cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work. The pin operation of each port is automatically adjusted for the attached device: if the switch detects that another switch or hub is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI; if the sw
