GS752TXS Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Figure 9. Stacking Topologies
The device is “Plug and Play” in terms of stacking configuration. Before powering up the
device, connect the devices into the required stacking topology. Then power up the devices.
By default, the switch is configured to allow the master and slave designations to be
determined through automatic discovery. You can use the web interface to configure the
stack to select a particular switch as master after the device has been booted and is
operational (see the

System > Stacking

page).
For more information on stacking see the

Software Administration Manual

. A link to this
document is on your Resource CD.
Step 7: Applying AC Power
The GS752TXS Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. Power is controlled by the
power cord connection.
Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch,
which can turn off power to the switch. After selecting an appropriate outlet, use the following
procedure to apply AC power:
1. Connect the end of the power connection cable to the power receptacle on the back of
the switch.
2. Connect the AC power connection cable into a power source such as a wall socket or
power strip.
When you apply power, the Power LED on the switch’s front panel illuminates.
If the Power LED does not go on, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that
the power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to Appendix A.
