1.1 Introduction

This section describes the characteristics of the S3700.

1.1.1 Positioning

WARNING

The Quidway S3700 Ethernet switches are class A products. Customers should take preventative

measures as the operating devices may cause radio interference.

The Quidway S3700 switch (S3700 for short) is an enterprise networks access device that

provides access and data transport functions. The S3700 is developed by Huawei to meet the

requirements for reliable access, aggregation, and high-quality transmission of multiple services

on an enterprise networks . The S3700 functions as the access device of the enterprise networks.

The S3700 provides large capacity, high port density, and cost-effective packet forwarding

capabilities. The S3700 also provides multi-service access capabilities, excellent extensibility,

quality of service (QoS) guarantee, powerful multicast replication, and carrier-class security,

and can be used to build high-reliability ring topologies.

1.1.2 Product Characteristics

Energy-Saving Design

The S3700 saves energy in the following ways:

l Some models adopt natural heat dissipation, so fans are not required.

NOTE

Currently, the S3700-28TP-EI-MC-AC, S3700-28TP-SI-AC, S3700-28TP-SI-DC, S3700-28TP-EI-

AC, and S3700-28TP-EI-DC adopt natural heat dissipation.

l The interface chip switches to the power saving mode when an interface is idle, which

means that no peer device is connected to the interface.

l It uses advanced highly-integrated and energy-saving chips. With the help of the intelligent

device management system, the chips improve system performance and also reduce system

power consumption.

Natural heat dissipation has the following advantages:

l Product reliability is high.

l There is no noise pollution.

l Fans do not need to be maintained periodically, which saves the maintenance cost.

l The system does not have additional power consumption generated by fans, which improves

the power efficiency.

l Boards are prevented from being eroded.
