Figure 1-2. Connecting Power Cable
Assembling a Stack
You can stack PowerConnect 6200 series switches up to 12 switches high, supporting up to 576 front panel ports.
Create a stack by connecting adjacent units using the stacking ports on the left side of the switch rear. See
Figure 1-3.
NOTE:
The switches must be turned off as they are added to a stack.
1
Install a separately purchased stacking module in rear "Bay 1" in each of the switches to be stacked.
2
Use the cables supplied with the stacking modules to connect from one switch to the next until all switches
are connected in a ring.
3
Make sure that the last stacking cable is connected from the last switch to the first switch to create a loop.
4
If necessary, use a separately purchased three-meter stacking cable to connect the switches.
