Identifying External Components
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.

•
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.

•
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.
•
The AC power connector is a standard three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug-in the female
connector of the provided power cord into this socket, and the male side of the cord into a power outlet. Supported
input voltages range from 100 ~ 240 VAC at 50 ~ 60 Hz.
