Installing an SFP Transceiver

To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following steps:
1. Consider your network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP
transceiver type.
2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the port
connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only
be installed in one orientation.
3. Slide the SFP transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.
Note: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off
before installing or removing a transceiver. However, always first disconnect the
network cable before removing a transceiver.

Connecting Switches in a Stack

An optional Stacking Module ships with one stacking cable. Figure 3-6 shows how
the stack cables are cascaded between switches in a stack.
Note: The stacking module must only be installed in port 25.
Note: Only switches with firmware version 2.2.x.x. and above are capable of stacking.
To connect up to eight switches in a stack, perform the following steps:
1. Plug one end of a stack cable into the TX (right) port of the top unit
2. Plug the other end of the stack cable into the RX (left) port of the next unit.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each unit in the stack. Form a simple chain starting at
the TX port on the top unit and ending at the RX port on the bottom unit
(stacking up to 8 units).
