Chapter 2 Switch Installation

StackPower Cabling Configurations

You can configure a ring power stack or use the XPS-2200 to configure a star topology.

Figure 2-10shows a ring configuration using both of the supplied 0.3-meter StackPower cables and one 1.5-meter cable. In these examples, the switches are stacked in a vertical rack or on a table.
