specifications, see “Supported Cabling” on page 101.
9. Connect the other end of the cable to the 10 Gb port on the ISIS system.
Stacking the Dell Networking S60 Switches
Avid supports stacking two Dell Networking S60 switches. The expansion slots in the Dell Networking switches
allow you to stack similar switches together into a single virtual switch. When two Dell Networking S60 switches
are stacked you have the capability of connecting up to 88 1 Gb clients. The stacking modules are ordered
separately and install in either the front or back slot of the Dell Networking S60 switch.
The Dell Networking S60 stacking modules use a 24 Gb connection between the two switches. Once the modules
are installed, connect the stacking cables as described in the following procedure. For more information on
stacking the Dell Networking switches, see the documentation provided by the switch manufacturer. The stacked
switch configuration uses a stacking cable to interconnect switches.

If using a stacked switch configuration, the 10 Gb connection from the Avid ISIS can be to either switch.
Install a 24 Gb stacking module into the front left slot of the Dell Networking S60 switch, similar to the process
described in
“10 Gb Ethernet S60 Switch Connections” on page 54.
