Extended distance stacking
Extended distance stacking allows stacking of devices in a distributed network environment. You can form a stack of co-located devices
or devices located over an extended distance to form a distributed stack. Extended distance stacking provides resiliency, scalability, and
ease of management whether the location of switches is in the same equipment rack or distributed across a network.
To set up extended distance stacking, use fiber-optic cables to connect the devices in a stack. Contact your Brocade representative for
information about supported fiber-optic cables and distances.
Powering on the system
After you complete the physical installation, you can power on the system.
NOTE
The socket should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
1. Remove the power cord from the shipping container.
2. Attach the AC power cord to the AC connector on the rear panel.
3. Insert the power cord plug into a 100V-240V outlet.
NOTE
To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cord or
cords.
