Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does the X435-24T-4S support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: No, the X435-24T-4S is a non-PoE model. For PoE requirements, please consider the X435-24P-4S model from the same series.

Q: Can the SFP ports operate at 2.5GbE?
A: Yes, but as a future capability. With ExtremeXOS 32.2 or later and qualified transceivers, the SFP ports can operate at 2.5Gb speeds when connecting to a compatible device like an Extreme 5520 series switch.

Q: How is this switch managed?
A: It can be managed centrally via the cloud-based ExtremeCloud IQ platform or locally via the built-in web GUI or command-line interface (CLI).

Q: Is the power cord included?
A: In support of green initiatives, a power cord is not included in the box but can be ordered separately based on your regional standards.

Important Precautions

• Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature (0°C to 45°C) and humidity (10% to 95% non-condensing) ranges.
• Verify compatibility of SFP transceivers using the Extreme Optics Compatibility Tool before purchase and installation.
• The switch is designed for indoor use only. Adhere to all local safety and electrical codes during installation.
• For rack mounting, ensure the rack is stable and can support the switch's weight.
• Complies with EMI/EMC standards for Class A devices. This is a business environment product and may not be suitable for residential use.
