Installing AT-QSFPCU Cables

This section contains instructions on how to build the stack trunk with AT-
QSFPCU Cables. You can use the cables to build a stack trunk between
two switches that are physically near each other, in the same or adjoining
equipment racks. The model names of the cables are listed here:
 AT-QSFP1CU - 1 meter
 AT-QSFP3CU - 3 meters
Note
The cables of the stack trunk must crossover to different QSFP+
slots. The transceiver in slot 17 in one switch must connect to slot 21
in the other switch. For more information, refer to Figure 11 on page
40.
Please review "Guidelines to Handling SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+
Transceivers" on page 119 before performing this procedure.
To build the stack trunk with AT-QSFPCU Cables, perform the following
procedure:
1. Remove the dust cover from the QSFP+ slot 17 in one of the x550
Switches. Refer to Figure 55.
