I just got one LB6M from ebay at $368+plus s/h, dual power supply, powered on with a watt meter, show 150W when turn on two power supply, 130W for single power supply.

Now it just like a brick before me, since I cannot find out user manual / configuration manual, could any expert here can give me any suggest or hint, how to connect to the switches (console port or management port) default user/pass, how to access the cli or web ui, etc.

Thanks

It's seem the LB6M switch drain too much power (150W), with my dell 24 port 5324, it's only 20w-30W, with TrendNet 16 Ports Unmanaged switches, on 2.5W.

true, but provide as info, I always like to seek green one for home use.
I think maybe it's removed from service because it drain too much power, for latest 24 ports 10GB switch idle power consumption, 10-50W should be reasonable range.

50w is about what you'll see in a current-generation SOHO 10GbE switch (Netgear XS712T, Zyxel XS1920-12) with nothing plugged into it. Wait a few more years and you'll be able to get one of those for $368 used on eBay.

Yes, the LB6M is the 2009 products, we need to wait another 3-6 years, after 40Gbe or 100Gbe geting popular and retire the current 50W 10Gbe generation, we can get cheaper green one.

Yes, when I turn off 1 PSU, it show 115-130W ranges. the whole system is more quiet than my dell 5324.

by the way, the switch is still a brick before me, do you have any info or doc or hint to access the web ui or its command line console to configure it ?

I found out the hard way just how important a set of rack ears are when you want to mount a piece of gear in a rack. Chances are you won't find them unless you get lucky. I'm still looking for a set of ears for my GS4008. I'm not holding my breath tho.

BTW, my LB6M/24x10gbe switch uses same rack ears as my LB4M/48x1gbe switch - YMMV. ...Thought this might help folks looking for rack ears.

Another seller e-mailed me offering them looks like they're gonna become more popular with the recyclers soon.
