Chapter 9: Building the Stack Trunk with 5Gbps Multi-Speed Ports
Powering on the Stack
150
After configuring the master and member switches, you are ready to cable
the 5Gbps ports of the stack trunk and power on the stack for the first time.
(If you want to monitor the power-on sequence, connect a terminal or
computer with a terminal emulator program to the Console port on either
switch.)
To power on the stack for the first time, perform the following procedure:
1. Verify that the master and member switches are powered off.
2. Cable the 5Gbps ports of the stack trunk on the switches. Refer to
"Cabling Twisted Pair Ports" on page 154.
3. Power on all the switches at the same time or within thirty seconds of
each other. Refer to "Powering on a Stack" on page 142.
Refer to "Power Specifications" on page 170 for the power
specifications of the switches.
