Keeplink KP-9000-6XH-X2 / KP-9000-6XHML-X2

Following is documentation for switches marked as KP-9000-6XH-X2 or KP-9000-6XHML-X2.

Using SPI clamp in-board is the only method for initial installation.

Label specifications

  • Name: 4X 2.5G RJ45 Port + 2 X 10G SFP+ Port
  • Model: KP-9000-6XH-X2 / KP-9000-6XHML-X2
  • Ports:
    • 4 × RJ45: 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps
    • 2 × SFP+: 1000 / 2500 / 10000 Mbps

Machine target

These devices exist with different PCB revisions. Select the machine target by the PCB silkscreen, not only by the label on the case.

The V1.2 and V2.1 boards use different GPIO, SFP, port and LED mappings. The unmanaged and managed labels are firmware/SKU differences and do not by themselves identify the PCB wiring.

What works

  • All four 2.5GBASE-T RJ45 ports at 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps
  • SFP port with 10G modules
  • LEDs
  • untested due to missing Hardware: SFP+ ports equipped with 1G or 2.5G SFPs.

Reset Button

There's an unpopulated Reset button on the front left side of the PCB. It can easily be soldered, you'll need an 4.5mmx4.5mm 90° button switch with a 3-pin footprint. I got mine here: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007295346702.html The front case has already the hole in the metal case, you just have to punch a hole through the foil.

Power supply

Input power is delivered via barell plug, 12V 1A adapter was provided.
