NSTALLING THE
Stacking Switches
The switch supports stacking up to eight units through an optional SFP
stacking transceiver. The stacking transceiver must be installed in the port 25
slot. Each stacking transceiver has two connectors, Tx and Rx, for attaching
stacking cables. Figure 3-7 shows how stacking cables are connected between
switches in a stack.
Note: The stacking transceiver must only be installed in the port 25 SFP
slot.
Installing a Stacking Transceiver
The stacking transceiver must be installed in the port 25 slot. It should be
inserted before any of the systems in the stack are powered on.
Slide the SFP transceiver into the SFP transceiver slot until it clicks into
place. To remove, pull on the tab at the bottom of the front of the
transceiver.
