Connecting the StackPower Ports to the XPS 2200
Connecting the StackPower Ports to the XPS 2200
Before connecting the StackPower cables, review the
“Planning a StackPower Stack (Catalyst 3750-X
Switches)” section on page 2-9
. Always use a Cisco-approved StackPower cable to connect the switches.
To prevent misconfiguration, the StackPower ports on the switch and the XPS 2200 are keyed and have
colored stripes that match the keying and stripes on the StackPower cable ends.
Step 1
Connect the end of the cable with a green stripe to the connector marked XPS on the switch. Align the
connector correctly, and insert the end of the cable with a green stripe into an XPS port on the switch
rear panel.
Step 2
Connect the end of the cable with a red or yellow stripe to an XPS 2200 power supply. (
Figure 2-21
)
Step 3
Hand-tighten the captive screws to secure the StackPower connectors in place.

Caution
Removing and installing the StackPower cable can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and
insert the cable more often than necessary.
Installing a Network Module in the Switch
These sections describe how to install and remove network modules or the blank module. See the
“Network Modules” section on page 1-7
.
Note
There must be a supported network module in the network module slot. If no uplink ports are required,
insert a blank network module. An empty slot generates error messages.
The network module is hot-swappable. If you remove a module, replace it with another network module.
