Hasivo S600W-5XGT-1SX-SE A Six Port 10G Switch

Hasivo S600W-5XGT-1SX-SE Internal Hardware Overview

Inside the switch, we have something similar, but also a major layout difference to the PoE version.

Here is the switch layout with the fans behind the switch ASIC and the power supply just off to the side. The PoE version had a very different layout with the fans on the side of the chassis.

Here it flipped where we can see the PSU, the switch PCB, and the fans.

Here is what the PSU looks like. This is not a high-power switch by any means. Something slightly different here is that the AC input is directly to the PSU. Often in these designs, we see wires from the AC input socket to the PSU.

On the side, we get the fan header. There is a two-pin fan header that is split on the wires to run both fans. Frankly, we wish this was a bit cleaner with two 3-pin or 4-pin fan headers to make these easier to replace. Odds are if you wanted to replace them, you are cutting wire.

The switch ASIC is the Realtek RTL9303 which we have seen a number of times before. The other five heatsinks here are for the 10Gbase-T port PHYs since those are required with the RTL9303.

A fun sighting is that the PCB is the Hasivo S600WP-5XGT-1S+ even though this is the Hasivo S600W. The P is for the PoE version, but this does not have the additional PoE board.

Here is the block diagram for the RealTek RTL9303.

Looking at the bottom of the board, it appears as though there is a rework wire or something heavily glued to the bottom of this PCB.

Something nice is that this has thermal pads on the bottom of the switch PCB to help distribute heat to the bottom chassis bit. This is a feature in far fewer than half of the cheap switches we review since it adds cost. Still, it is a nice touch.

Next, let us get to the web management.
