FI cable alignment slot (Insert cable with slot facing UP and
aligned with tab on the port.)

3

FI cable connector pull tab (Ensure that the cable connector
pull tab is facing UP.)

3. For Stack-mode DToR configurations, select a Base unit for the Stack. Use the Base

unit switch to configure one unit as the Base unit.

 Important:

Only one unit can operate as the Base unit. Ensure that only one switch is
configured as the Base unit. The switch on all other units must be in the non-base
unit position.

4. Connect AC power.

If you assigned the Base unit and non-base units with the units powered on, you
must reset the Stack for the assignments to apply.
