Installing the PowerConnect 3424/P and PowerConnect 3448/P
55
PowerConnect 3400 series switches use the RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports (G3 and G4) for stacking.
This enables added stacking capabilities to the devices without adding additional device
accessories. To stack the devices together, insert a standard Category 5 cable into port G3 in the
uppermost device in the stack, and into port G4 of the device immediately below it in the stack.
Repeat this process until all devices are connected. Connect the bottommost device’s port G3 in
the stack to port G4 of the uppermost device in the stack.
Figure 3-5.
Stacking Cable Diagram
NOTE:
In stacking mode ports designated as G3 and G4 are not displayed in the EWS. The effect is of not
being present on the device. This is because the ports receive a different index for stacking.
Stack unit identification is performed on the device front panel using the Stack ID button.
