Adding Units to the Stack

This section describes how to add one or more units to the middle of a stack or to the end of a stack.

Note: Refer to Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch for information about installing units on a tabletop or in a standard 19-inch utility rack.

Adding Units to the Middle of a Stack

To add one or more units to the middle of a stack, complete the following steps:

1.Determine the position of the new units in the existing stack (Figure 12).

For example, the shaded units (units 5 and 6) in Figure 12 show two new units to be added to the stack. The new units are numbered as unit 5 and unit 6 because they are additions to an existing 4 unit stack.

2.Disconnect the cascade cable from the Cascade A In connector at unit 3.

Leave the other end of the cascade cable connected to the Cascade A Out connector at unit 2.

3.For 19-inch rack configurations, move the units two spaces lower in the rack.
