Installing and Connecting Multiple Switches
The procedure to install and connect multiple switches is
similar for tabletop, shelf, or standard 19-inch utility rack
installations.
To install multiple switches, follow these steps:
1.
Install one unit at a time in the rack or on the shelf
or tabletop.
Refer to the Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000
Series Switch guide for requirements and instructions
for installing the BayStack 450 switch on a tabletop,
shelf, or in a standard 19-inch utility rack.
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, you are installing (refer to
“Stack
Configurations
” on
page 10
).
4.
Position the unit you want to be the base unit at the
top (or bottom) of the stack.
Note:
Bay Networks recommends that you
always configure the top unit in the stack as the
base unit.
