Installing Cisco MDS 9134 48-Port and 64-Port Stackable Bundles
Step2 Install two MDS 9134 switches placing one on top of the other (recommended) or side-by-side. In a
stacked switch configuration, the distance between the 10-Gbps ports of the two switches can be
maximum of 1 metre. Currently, only one-metre cables are shipped with the boxes.
Step3 Ensure that a copper X2 CX4 transceiver is plugged into the 10-Gbps port of each switch.
Step4 Plug in one end of the copper cable to the 10-Gbps transceiver of the MDS 9134 switch that is supplied
in the same box and the other end to the 10-Gbps transceiver of the MDS 9134 switch of the second box
so as to connect two MDS 9134 switches.
