As a general rule, the very latest hardware and firmware should reside on the lowest tier (first
tier).
1. Stacking Unit has no user ports so it cannot be cascaded as an upper tier to a lower tier switch.
2. UMT x HW3 has no memory card slot, so maximum servers/expandability will be 1800
servers.
Note: The easiest way to determine if the hardware version of your Paragon I unit is HW3 is to
check the number of its stacking ports on the rear side. If there is only one stacking port, the
hardware version is HW3.
