Complete Hardware Guide for EX3200 and EX4200 Ethernet Switches
Before you begin connecting a Virtual Chassis cable to an EX4200 switch, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage (see “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on EX Series Switches” on page 236).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to connect a Virtual
Chassis cable to an EX4200 switch:
■Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
■
NOTE: If you order Virtual Chassis cables separately, you must reuse the locking covers provided with the original cable or order Virtual Chassis cable locking covers also separately.
To connect a Virtual Chassis cable to an EX4200 switch (see Figure 51 on page 138):
