Introduction

This guide provides procedures for installing the BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Modules into supported Bay Networks BayStack 450 switches that are configured with BayStack 450 software version V1.1.0 or later. You can determine the software version of your switches by accessing the System Characteristics screen for each switch.

Note: The BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module will not operate with BayStack 450 switches that are configured with BayStack 450 software versions earlier than version V1.1.0.

If you need to upgrade your BayStack 450 switches, refer to “ Upgrading the BayStack 450 Switch Firmware” on page 36 of this guide. You must upgrade the switch before installing the BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module.

If you are upgrading your BayStack 450 switches, be sure to obtain the latest version of the Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch guide. That guide provides instructions for setting up your stack configuration after you install the 400-ST1 Cascade Modules.
