SmartStack Interface Modules

The switch contains two SmartStack interface slots (see Figure 3 or Figure 4) that
will accommodate optional, field-installable SmartStack Interface Modules that
provide additional connections. Future SmartStack Interface Modules will provide
the following types of connections:
•

SSIM-T8-04 4-Port Token-Ring Fiber
•
SSIM-A2-01 ATM155 LANE Bridge UTP
•

•
SSIM-R2-02 High-Speed Token Ring UTP
•
SSIM-R8-02 High-Speed Token Ring MMF
•

Reset Button

The switch has a recessed reset button labelled RST that is located on the front
panel. Pressing the reset button resets the hardware and software and clears all
tables and memory, including the address tables. Pressing the reset button does not
clear the values stored in nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM).

System Request Button

This unlabeled recessed button is located on the front panel above the reset button.
Pressing the button causes the System Request menu to appear on the console
device attached to the MANAGEMENT port. Pressing the button for more than
five seconds will initiate a modem download of the main image.
Note: The system request button should be used only at the direction of service
personnel. The button is recessed to prevent accidental activation.

Labels

The two labels in the right side of the front panel are:
•
The MAC Address Label:
The unique globally assigned base Base MAC-Address of the switch.
•
The Switch Number Label:
Blank label for an individual user identification of the switch.
