Assembling a Stack

You can stack PowerConnect 6200 series switches up to 12 switches high, supporting up to 576 front panel ports.
Create a stack by connecting adjacent units using the stacking ports on the left side of the switch rear. See
Figure 1-3.
NOTE:
The switches must be turned off as they are added to a stack.
Install a separately purchased stacking module in rear "Bay 1" in each of the switches to be stacked.
