Connecting Cables to Stacking Ports
On OmniSwitch 6624, 6600-U24, 6600-P24, and 6648 switches only, note the following important guide-
lines before connecting stacking cables to stacking modules:
•
Before attempting to connect OS6624, OS6600-U24, OS6600-P24, and OS6648 switches in a stacked
configuration, be sure that stacking modules are installed in the EXPANSION/STACKING slots of all
switches. The stacking module provides two dedicated High Speed Serial Data Connectors (HSSDCs)
at ports 27 and 28 (OS6624, OS6600-U24, and 6600-P24) or 51 and 52 (OS6648). For detailed infor-
mation on installing stacking modules, refer to
“Installing Uplink and Stacking Modules” on
•
Stacking modules can only be installed in the far-right module slot. This slot is labeled EXPANSION/
STACKING and contains port positions 27 and 28 (OS6624, OS6600-U24, and 6600-P24) or 51 and
52 (OS6648).
•
Do not attempt to install the stacking module at the EXPANSION slot at port positions 25 and 26
(OS6624, OS6600-U24, and 6600-P24) or 49 and 50 (OS6648).
On all OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches, note the following important guidelines before connecting
stacking cables to stacking modules:
•
If you have not already individually assigned slot numbers and powered off each switch, do not
connect stacking cables to the stacking ports. Instead, refer to
“Assigning Slot Numbers” on page 4-8
and follow the instructions for assigning slot numbers to each switch.
•
Port numbers are clearly marked on the chassis front panel.
•
For information on setting up stack redundancy, refer to
“Redundant Stack Connection” on page 4-13
To connect stacking cables to stacking modules and link your OmniSwitch 6600 Family switch into a
virtual chassis, follow the steps below:
1
Starting from the top of the stack, attach one end of a 30 cm stacking cable to a High Speed Serial Data
Connector (HSSDC) port, as shown.
