Installing and Connecting Multiple Switches
The procedure to install and connect multiple switches is
similar for standard 19-inch utility rack, shelf, and tabletop
installations.
To install multiple switches, follow these steps:
1. Install one unit at a time in the rack, on a shelf, or
on a tabletop.
Refer to your switch’s User Guide for specific
requirements and instructions for installing your
switch in a standard 19-inch utility rack, on a shelf, or
on a tabletop.
2. Disconnect the AC power cords (if previously
connected) from the units you are configuring in
the stack.
3. Determine the stack order configuration, stack up
or stack down, for your installation (refer to “Stack
Configurations” on page 12).
4. Position the unit you want to be the base unit at the
top (or bottom) of the stack.
Note:
Nortel Networks recommends that you always
configure the top unit in the stack as the base unit.
