3.Power up the SEH above the SEHI in the stack by plugging the power cord into the back panel of the SEH and plugging the other end into a grounded receptacle.

4.Verify that the PWR LED is on, indicating that the SEH is receiving power.

Do NOT connect the interconnect cable between the SEH and

!the SEHI before powering up the SEH. Otherwise damage to

the SEH may result.

 

5.Attach the HubSTACK Interconnect cable provided with the SEH to the “IN” port on the rear panel of the SEH as shown in Figure 4-6.

6.Attach the other end of the interconnect cable to the “OUT” port on the rear panel of the hub at the bottom of the stack.

Do not leave an interconnect cable connected at only one end

!during network operation. Corrupted data may result.

CAUTION

7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 until all SEH hubs are connected.
