PowerConnect 8164F switches can be stacked with other PowerConnect 81xx

switches using the 10G or 40G SFP+ or QSFP modules in the module bay or

fixed QSFP ports.

Hot-Pluggable Interface Modules

The PowerConnect 8132, 8132F, 8164, and 8164F switches support the

following hot-pluggable interface modules:

PC8100-QSFP - 2 x 40G QSFP port module - defaults to 2x40G

PC8100-SFP+ - 4 x SFP+ port module - defaults to 4x10G mode

PC8100-10GBT - 4 x 10GBase-T ports module - defaults to 4x10G mode

Blank module - defaults to 10G mode

NOTE: The PowerConnect 8024 and 8024F switches do not support

hot-swappable plug-in modules.

A reboot is necessary when a hot-pluggable module is replaced with a module

of different type. Specifically, changing from a 40G module to a 10G module

or from a 10G module to a 40G module requires a reboot. Plug-in modules

with any port configured as a stacking port are not hot-swappable. Remove

the stack-port configuration from a slot before plugging in a module.

You must execute a no slot or clear config command prior to

inserting the new module. Note that changing the role of a port from stacking

to Ethernet or vice-versa also requires a switch reboot.
