LED Behavior in Stack Mode

Whether an X2 module or a converter module is installed in the 10-Gigabit Ethernet module slots, the two bottom LEDs (21 and 22) show the status of the StackWise Plus ports 1 and 2, respectively. The top two LEDs (19 and 20) are off when in stack mode. Table 1-7describes the LED colors in stack mode and their meanings.

Caution Use only approved cables, and connect only to similar Cisco equipment. Equipment might be damaged if connected to nonapproved Cisco cables or equipment.

You can order these StackWise Plus cables from your Cisco sales representative:

•CAB-STK-E-0.5M= (0.5-meter cable)

•CAB-STK-E-1M= (1-meter cable)

•CAB-STK-E-3M= (3-meter cable)
