Before attempting to connect OS6624, OS6600-U24, OS6600-P24, and OS6648 switches in a stacked
•
configuration, be sure that stacking modules are installed in the EXPANSION/STACKING slots of all
switches. The stacking module provides two dedicated High Speed Serial Data Connectors (HSSDCs)
at ports 27 and 28 (OS6624, OS6600-U24, and 6600-P24) or 51 and 52 (OS6648). For detailed infor-
mation on installing stacking modules, refer to
page 2-40.
Stacking modules can only be installed in the far-right module slot. This slot is labeled EXPANSION/
•
STACKING and contains port positions 27 and 28 (OS6624, OS6600-U24, and 6600-P24) or 51 and
52 (OS6648).
Do not attempt to install the stacking module at the EXPANSION slot at port positions 25 and 26
•
(OS6624, OS6600-U24, and 6600-P24) or 49 and 50 (OS6648).
On all OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches, note the following important guidelines before connecting
