Customers of the Cisco Catalyst 3750G-24TS-S and 3750G-24TS-E 1.5 rack-unit switches are
encouraged to migrate to the newer Catalyst 3750G-24TS-S1U and 3750G-24TS-E1U 1 rack-unit
switch models, respectively. The migration products offer several key advantages. They consume
significantly less power, thereby reducing energy costs. Their 1-RU design results in a 33 percent
savings in wiring closet space when compared to the older 1.5-RU products. They have twice the
flash memory (32 MB vs. 16 MB), which will make future software upgrades easier. Detailed
