Stacking Units
2-5
b
Using suitable fixings and screws (not provided), attach the Switch
securely to the wall or plywood.
c
Connect network cabling.
Placing Units On Top
of Each Other
If the Switch units are free-standing, up to four units can be placed one
on top of the other. If you are mixing a variety of units, the smaller
units must be positioned at the top.
If you are placing Switch units one on top of the other, you must use
the self-adhesive rubber pads supplied. Apply the pads to the underside
of each Switch, sticking one in the marked area at each corner. Place
the Switch units on top of each other, ensuring that the pads of the
upper unit line up with the recesses of the lower unit.
Stacking Units
Switch units can be stacked together and then treated as a single
manageable unit with one IP address.
You can stack Switch units together in two ways:
■
The matrix port on the rear of the Switch allows you to connect two
Switch units back-to-back. For this you need a Matrix Cable.
Contact your supplier for details.
■
The Expansion Module slot at the rear of the Switch allows you to
install a Matrix Module. The Matrix Module provides four ports and
allows you to interconnect up to four Switch units using Matrix
Cables.
Stacking Two Units
To stack two Switch units, you only need one Matrix Cable. The Switch
units can be rack-mounted or free-standing; if you choose to have
them free-standing, remember to position the rubber feet as detailed in
“Placing Units On Top of Each Other” above. When positioning Switch
units, note that Matrix Cables are 1m (3.28ft) long.
