Installing and Connecting Multiple Switches
The procedure to install and connect multiple switches is similar for tabletop, shelf, or standard
To install multiple switches, follow these steps:
1.Install one unit at a time in the rack or on the shelf or tabletop.
Refer to the Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch guide for requirements and instructions for installing the BayStack 450 switch on a tabletop, shelf, or in a standard
2.Disconnect the AC power cords (if previously connected) from the units you are configuring in the stack.
3.Determine the stack order configuration, stack up or stack down, you are installing (refer to “ Stack Configurations” on page 10).
4.Position the unit you want to be the base unit at the top (or bottom) of the stack.
Note: Bay Networks recommends that you always configure the top unit in the stack as the base unit.
