Expansion Options
Expansion modules increase switching capacity by providing two extra ports
and by allowing switches to be linked together in stacks. Use only the modules
in the following table.

Adding and Removing Expansion Modules
Hot-swapping expansion modules is possible on AT-8624PoE and
AT-8624T/2M switches. If a module is inserted or removed while the switch is
powered on, the Fault LED flashes 7 times. You must restart the switch to turn
off the flashing LED, and make a module ready for operation. Until the switch
is restarted, the output of the show system and show switch port commands
cannot reflect the newly inserted or removed expansion module.
