Notes
■ Any of the supported Gbps (gigabit) and 100 Mbps modules can be
installed in the slots in the SMC6624M. See “Supported Modules” below.
■ Make sure the modules are fully installed and that you screw in
the retaining screws to secure the modules in place.
■ If you do not install a module in one or both of the slots, make sure that
the slot cover plate(s) is still attached over the slot for safe operation and
proper switch cooling.
■ The modules can be installed while the switch is powered on. Once the
modules are installed, reset the switch by pressing the Reset
button on the front of the switch. This resets/reboots the switch which
initializes and activates the module. Until the switch is reset/rebooted, the
module will not be operational. If you install the modules when the switch
is powered off, powering on the switch after the installation will initialize
the modules.
■ The modules can operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is not
supported.
