Connecting to the StackWise Ports
Before you begin
Before connecting the StackWise cables, review the
Planning a Switch Data Stack, on page 36
. Always use
a Cisco-approved StackWise cable to connect the switches.
Procedure
Step 1
Remove the dust covers from the StackWise cables and StackWise ports, and store them for future use.
Step 2
Connect the cable to the StackWise port on the switch rear panel. Align the connector and connect the StackWise
cable to the StackWise port on the switch rear panel and finger-tighten the screws (clockwise direction). Make
sure the Cisco logo is on the top side of the connector as shown in the figure.
Step 3
Connect the other end of the cable to the port on the other switch and finger-tighten the screws. Avoid
overtightening the screws.
