Stacking or Uplink Module Slot
The OS6600-U24 provides an additional slot that can
accommodate either a stacking module or a Gigabit
Ethernet uplink module.
If you use a Gigabit Ethernet uplink module in this slot,
the OS6600-U24 must be used as a stand-alone switch.
A stacking module must be installed in this slot if the
switch is to be used in a stacked configuration. For infor-
mation on stacking switches, refer to page 24.
Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Module Slot
The OS6600-U24 provides a dedicated slot for Gigabit Ethernet
uplink modules. This slot supports the following module types:
• OS6600-GNI-C2—Provides two fixed 1000BaseT copper
connections (uses two RJ-45 connectors). Supports distances
up to 100 meters.
• OS6600-GNI-U2—Provides two MiniGBIC bays that
support hot-swappable 1000BASE-X MiniGBIC transceiv-
ers.
Slot Selector Button
The slot selector button, located directly
beneath the slot indicator LED, is used to
manually assign slot numbers to switches
in stacked configurations. Refer to
“Assigning Slot Numbers” on page 25 for
detailed information.
