b. Connect the other end of the cable to a Stacking Module in another 3810M switch. See
Stacking Information and Topologies
NOTE: When switch power is on and one end of the stacking cable is inserted, the Link and
Module Status LEDs on the module, and the Back LED on the front of the switch blinks orange
until the other end is connected to another switch stacking module. The LEDs turn solid green
when the cable is fully seated at both ends and a link is established.
To remove the stacking cable pull the tab on the stacking cable connector straight out.

7. (Optional) Installing Transceivers

You can install or remove transceivers from the slots on the front of the switch without having to
power off the switch.
NOTE:
The transceivers operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is not supported.
Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove a transceiver.

Installing the transceivers:

Hold the transceiver by its sides and gently insert it into either of the slots on the switch until it
clicks into place. When a transceiver is inserted the switch authenticates it. This can take 1-3
for connectivity.
