Introducing the Switch
In each of the 3500yl-24G and 3500yl-48G switches, one slot is provided in the
back of the device to support a four port (two fixed CX4 ports and two X2
transceiver ports) 10 Gigabit per second Ethernet (10-GbE) module.
These products support optional network connectivity as shown in Table A-1
on page 1-3 .
The 3500yl, 3500-24-PoE and 3500-48-PoE switches are designed to support
Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. The switches support 802.3af standard
devices and some pre-standard PoE devices. For a list of these devices, see
the FAQs for your switch model. This feature is the default and you must

The 10Gbps transceivers are supported on the 3500yl and 6200yl switches only. They are not supported
on the 3500 switches.
