Front Panel

The DES-5024 is designed for management at a glance. The front of the DES-5024,
displayed in Figure 1, has LEDs that give you essential information at a glance.

The DES-5024 is a modular unit. The chassis has five slots. All the modules have LEDs.
See Chapter 4, LEDs, for information on interpreting the LEDs. The slots are in the
following order: CPU module is always on top. Slots one and two are full sized and cme
with two 12-Port 10/100-TX Modules. Slots three and four are half sized and only slot 3
can accommodate feature modules. Slot 4 may not be used.

All ports can be used for network connections. The RS-232 port is used for Out of Band
Management.

All LEDs are located on the front panel of the DES-5024. Their purpose is to allow you
to monitor the operation and performance of the DES-5024 at a glance.
