Stacking Module

Stacking modules are used to connect OmniSwitch 6624, 6600-U24, and 6648 switches in a stack. The stack acts as a virtual chassis, with switches serving as primary and secondary management modules and Network Interface (NI) modules. For detailed information, refer to Chapter 3, “Managing OmniSwitch 6600 Series Stacks.”

For information on installing stacking modules, refer to page 2-29. For information on removing stacking modules, refer to page 2-31. For important installation restrictions, refer to the chassis front panel informa- tion on pages 2-3and 2-9, as well as “Installing Uplink and Stacking Modules” on page 2-29.

Note. Stacking modules cannot be hot swapped at any time. For more information on hot swapping, refer to Chapter 1, “OmniSwitch 6600 Series.”

HSSDC Stacking Connectors

The stacking module provides two dedicated High Speed Serial Data Connectors (HSSDCs). These connectors are used to connect OS6624/ OS6600-U24/OS6648 switches in a stack. For detailed information on stacks, refer to Chapter 3, “Managing OmniSwitch 6600 Series Stacks.”

LINK/ACTLINK/ACT

LINK/ACT LEDs

Each stacking connector has a built-in corresponding LED. This LED indicates the link and activity status for each connector. The LED dis-

plays green when a valid cable connection exists. Flashes green as data is
being transmitted to, or received from, the adjacent switch in the stack.
