Questions about this item

How much power does the 550W PSU draw when all 24 ports run at 2.5GbE all day?

The switch ships with a single hot-swappable 550W AC PSU; total draw depends on PoE load and fan speed, which vary with traffic and temperature.

Which transceivers and cables must I already have to use the 25GbE SFP28 uplinks and 40GbE QSFP+ stacking ports?

You need 25GbE SFP28 modules or DACs for the four uplinks and 40GbE QSFP+ modules or DACs for the two rear stacking ports.

Can the 24 Base-T ports auto-negotiate down to 10/100/1G for older switches and servers I keep?

Yes, each of the 24 ports supports 10, 100, 1G and 2.5G Base-T and will negotiate the highest common speed with legacy gear.
