Stacking Switches

The switch supports stacking up to eight units thr ough an optional SFP

stacking transceiver. Each stacking connection provides a 2 Gbps

high-speed link using USB stacking cables. The stacking transceiver must

be installed in the port 25 SFP slot. Each stacking transce iver has two

connectors, Tx and Rx, for attaching stacking cables. Figure 3-7 shows

how stacking cables are connected between switches in a stack.

Note: The stacking transceiver must only be installed in the port 25 SFP

slot.

Installing a Stacking Transceiver

The stacking transceiver must be installed in the port 25 slot. It should be

inserted before any of the systems in the stack are powered on.

Figure 3-6 Installing a Stacking Transceiver

Slide the SFP transceiver into the SFP transceiver slot until it clicks into

place. To remove, pull on the tab at the bottom of the front of the

transceiver.
