Avaya P332G-ML User’s Guide

Installing the X330STK-ML Stacking Sub-Module (Optional)

Caution:

The stacking sub-modules contain components sensitive to electrostatic

discharge. Do not touch the circuit board unless instructed to do so.

To install the stacking sub-module in the P332G-ML:
1

Remove the blanking plate from the back of the P332GP332G-ML switch.

2

Insert the stacking sub-module gently into the slot, ensuring that the metal base
plate is aligned with the guide rails. The metal plate of the X330STK-ML (and
not the PCB) fits onto the guide rails.

3

Press the sub-module in firmly until it is completely inserted into the
P332G

P332G-ML.

4

Gently turn the two screws on the side panel of the stacking sub-module until
they are secure.

Note:

The P332GP332G-ML must not be operated with the back-slot open. The

stacking sub-module should be covered with the supplied blanking plate if necessary.

Note:

Only use the X330STK-ML stacking module with the P332GP332G-ML.

Connecting Stacked Switches

Note:

The two ends of the Octaplane cable terminate with different connectors. Each

connector can only be connected to its matching port.

The following cables are used to connect stacked switches:

Short Octaplane cable (X330SC) – ivory-colored, used to connect adjacent
switches (Catalog No. CB0223) or switches separated by a BUPS unit.

Long/Extra Long Octaplane cable (X330LC/X330L-LC) – ivory-colored, used to
connect switches from two different physical stacks, or switches separated by a
BUPS unit (Catalog No. CB0225/CB0270).

Redundant/Long Redundant Octaplane cable (X330RC/X330L-RC) – black,
used to connect the top and bottom switches of a stack (Catalog No. CB0222/
CB0269).

These are the same cables that are used with all the P330 switches.
