(Optional) Prepare the rack
1. Provide the equivalent of 1U of vertical rack space for each
3626 or 3650 model in an EIA or IEC-standard 19-inch
(48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.
2. Ensure that the equipment rack is stable and securely
attached to a permanent structure.
3. Ground the rack to the same grounding electrode used by
the power service in the area. The ground path must be
permanent and must not exceed 1 Ohm of resistance from
the rack to the grounding electrode. Extreme Networks
recommends using a filter or surge suppressor.

Install the Switch
When you install the switch in the network, ensure you use the
following cables:
• Category 5E or higher specification cabling should be used
for 1 Gbps/1000 Mbps operation
• RJ-45 console port cables and adaptors are as follows:

Rack mouting
Note: Extreme Networks does not supply the bolts used to
secure the switch to the rack. Ensure you obtain the
appropriate bolts to secure the switch to your specific rack
before you begin.
1. Attach a bracket to each side of the switch.
2. Attach a bracket to each side of the switch.
3. Slide the switch into the rack. Insert and tighten the
rack-mount screws.
4. Verify that the switch is securely fastened to the rack.

Table mouting
For information about installing an ERS 3626GTS-PWR+ on a
table or shelf, see Installing the Ethernet Routing Switch
3600 Series.

Stacking
The Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series provides fail-safe
stackability. You can connect up to eight ERS 3600 Series
devices in a stack to provide uninterrupted connectivity for up
to 224 to 416 ports. You can manage the stack as a single unit.
To install/add a unit to a stack, you must change the default
mode from standalone to stacking mode and reboot the unit. See
Installing Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series for more details.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series back panel provides a
Base Unit switch. The Base Unit Switch is used to designate the
base unit in a stack. When set to the RIGHT position, this unit
acts as the Base Unit for the stack.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series provides a Cascade
Down port, and a Cascade Up ports on the front panel
for stacking purposes as shown below:
Cascade Down and Cascade Up ports – used to connect a
switch to the next unit in a stack through a cascade cable.
Connect one end of the Cascade Down cable to the
Cascade Up port of the next switch in the stack (shown in
the three-switch stack connection block diagram below):
1
2
1 – Base Unit
3 2 – Cascade/Stacking Cable
3 – Cascade/Stacking cable
(Return cable to make stack
resilient. Use longer stack
cable if required).
To create a stack connection, order the appropriate cascade cables
to ensure fail-safe stacking. For stacking three or more units
(maximum eight units per stack), order the applicable 3.0 m, 5.0 m,
or 10 m cables as applicable (see "Stacking cables").
1. Ensure all the switches for the stack are rack mounted.
2. Slide the Base Unit Select switches on the on the back of the
units to the appropriate position, depending on whether they are
a base unit or a non-base unit:
• Base Unit – Slide the Base Unit Select switch to the RIGHT.
• Non-Base Unit – Slide the Base Unit Select switch to the LEFT.
Because stack parameters are associated with the base unit, the
physical stack order depends on the base unit position and
whether you configure the stack cascade up (stack up) or cascade
down (stack down). This designation depends on the stack cabling
arrangement.
IMPORTANT: Extreme Networks recommends you to use the
Cascade Down configuration.
