Preparation Review the following information before installing the AT-StackXG Stacking Module:

ˆThe AT-StackXG Stacking Module is hardware hot-swappable. You can install or replace the module while the switch is powered on.

Caution

If the stacking module is added or replaced in an operating stack, the stack topology may change and cause the stack to reboot and interrupt network traffic.

ˆThe AT-StackXG module is supported in all x600 series products and requires software version 5.3.1 or later of AlliedWare Plus Operating System Software.

Note

Do not install AT-StackXG module until you have read the latest version of the AW+ Software Release Notes and the x600 Series product documentation.
