In V200R012C00 and later versions, you can log in to the switch that contains the ETH management port for the first time through the ETH port. For details, see "First Login to a Switch" in the Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration. If you have logged in to the switch for the first time by pressing and holding the MODE button for 6 seconds or longer and saved the configuration, the default configuration on the ETH port will be cleared. In this case, you cannot log in to the switch for the first time through the ETH port. You are advised to log in to the switch for the first time through the ETH port.

USB port

The USB port can have a USB flash drive connected to upgrade the switch, or transfer configuration files or other files. The USB port can only connect to a USB flash drive that complies with USB 2.0.

USB flash drives from different vendors differ in model compatibility and drivers. If a USB flash drive cannot be used, try to replace it with another one from a mainstream vendor. Switches support a maximum of 128 GB USB flash drives.

Indicator Description

The S5731-S24T4X has similar indicators to those on the S5731-S48P4X except that the S5731-S24T4X does not have a PoE mode indicator. For details, see Indicator Description.

Power Supply Configuration

The switch can use a single power module or double power modules for 1+1 power redundancy. Pluggable AC and DC power modules can be used together in the same switch. However, the power modules with natural heat dissipation and the power modules with fan cannot be used at the same time.

Heat Dissipation

The S5731-S24T4X uses pluggable fan modules for forced air cooling. Air flows in from the front side and exhausts from the rear panel.

This figure only shows the airflow direction and does not depict the actual device.
