Step 5: Installing an SFP GBIC Module

The following procedure describes how to install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the switch's
Gigabit module bay. Standard SFP GBIC modules are sold separately from the Smart Switch. If
you do not plan to install an SFP GBIC module at this time, skip this procedure.
To install an SFP GBIC module:
1. Insert the SFP module into the SFP module bay.
2. Press firmly to ensure the module seats into the connector.

Step 6 Installing Device as Stand-alone or Stack Master

A master-backup unit runs as a slave unit as described above, and in addition, it continuously
monitors the existence and operation of the stack master. If the master unit fails, the master-backup
unit will assume the stack-master role. ("Switchover") – master backup could be with unit ID 1 or
2. The goal for switchover time is under 30 seconds.
If stacking cable failed or a stack unit extracted in a chain topology, slave units could be disjointed
from the stack (which puts them in an ambiguous state), and they will set all their ports to down
state.
